Hi, @Bids2584 , unfortunately you cannot set a goal for an individual exercise on the Charge 2. There are, however, a number of ways you couod use your Fitbit to do what you want if you are willing to apply some workarounds.
I would say the best solution would be, as you say, to just look at your wrist. So at the start of your walk, use the “exercise shortcuts” to begin tracking your activity, choose distance as one of your stats to check on your wrist, and just go. Keep an eye on your wrist and as soon as you reach 3 km be sure to stop the exercise. You will get a brief summary on your wrist, and then when you sync your tracked exercise will give you “impact on your day” and it will tell you how many minutes you walked and how far it was, so you will have a record of each walking period and can tell if you have improved.
If you are dedicated to knowing exactly how long it took you, then another way would be to change your goal in your account settings on the app from steps (the default) to distance (3km). Then you would need to not wear your Fitbit at all until you were ready to set off, and as you begin walking either start the stopwatch or go to the walk exercise shortcut and start it there (using the exercise shortcut means you will have a record later). As soon as you reach 3 kim the Fitbit will buzz and clebrate etc and you can either finish the stopwatch or end the exercise to capture the exact time. The disadvantage of this is if you want to be exact you really can’t use your Fitbit until you set off on your walk, as the celebration will be based on your “goal”.
