How does Meditation feature work?-Charge 3

[steenmillinder]

Can i start a timer when i start meditating and stop it when i stop? And get time meditating, heart rate during meditation sessions and number of meditations? Is it possible to se stats for the day, week, month etc. and maybe compare them for example this week vs. last week or this month vs. 3 months ago?

Thanks and love for allayal ❤️

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @steenmillinder.

Thank you for the information provided.

With a Premium subscription you'll have access to the Mindfulness tile which includes a library of guided meditations, however in order to enjoy the full experience of all the stress management features we recommend wearing the Fitbit Sense.

For detailed information about the features included in the Mindfulness tile, please visit this article.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi @EdsonFitbit , what if we didnt want to use the meditation tiles that are offered in premium and wanted to use other guided meditations outside the Fitbit app or any of its partners. Is there a way to track those meditations? Is that on Fitbit's roadmap for development?

[EdsonFitbit]

It's great to see you in the Fitbit Community, @sabrivolk.

Thanks for your question.

Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that guided meditations from third party apps can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make a suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly.

See you around.

Hi, 

What if I wanted to meditate without a third party app and track it in the "Track your mindfulness" section of the app? 

I think it would be beneficial to be able to track the mindfulness there instead of having to edit the type of workout you're doing. 

Thanks for your comment :).

Thanks for your response, @sabrivolk.

You can find instructions on how to use the Mindfulness app in this article. If there is any feature you would like to be added, you are welcome to visit the Feature suggestions board which is constantly monitored by our engineering team for future implementations.

Have a nice day.
