Hello all;

I just received my Ionic watch with GPS and am trying to set a pre-configured distance.

In my previous non-Fitbit watches I could set a distance goal and the watch would notify me at the 50% and 90% marks. Is it possible to a goal of 10km on the watch?

Thanks for your time

A similar feature is available on the new Charge 3 but not on any other models.  Sorry.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Just about every day I walk with a goal of 7 miles.  I start my fitbit with a swipe left, which pulls up icons, one of which is Exercise.  Select it, select run and I get two buttons, Goal and Start.  If I select Start, it starts with an unspecified goal.  If I select Goal, up pops a rolling selector in km and miles, with a distance the same as the last time I went for a specified goal.  But you can scroll through to find the goal you want (integers only), then select Start.  Now you have a specified goal for you run/walk.  I get one notice when I reach the halfway mark, and another when I achieve.

 

Best not have the auto-pause set, as my distances show shorter (walk the same route and I don't reach my goal).  Don't know why.  So auto-pause off and 7 miles = 7 miles, but with auto-pause on I have to walk about 8.5 miles to have the fitbit register 7 miles, with GPS on.
