Pacer, vibrate or sound

[SunsetRunner]

Hi,

TLDR: what do you use to indicate a pace you should run to, to ensure you finish a run within the time you want.

Long version:

I have been using my Fitbit for a couple of years, a little buggy sometimes, but generally great. More recently I have been upping my running, increasing pace/distance etc. 

I trigger my run from the watch and i dont use the app at all while running. Once my run finishes It sync via the Fitbit app to Strava.  One challenge I have is that I want to maintain a particular pace...  and without trying to see what is displayed on the screen whilst running every few seconds... (not practical) I want some kind of vibrate/ sound, like a metronome that I can run too so i can keep a particular pace.

I have read the community forums, and it seems that Fitbit won't be adding this feature, so my question is "what do you use to indicate a pace you should run to, to ensure you finish a run within the time you want." - Is there a separate app you run with which vibrates/beeps.

As an aside, Garmin provides this feature with its cheapest devices...  and when my trusty Fitbit dies, I will be getting a Garmin device, waterproof, inbuilt GPS, and features I need, but for now...  i need a workaround solution some of you may use.

@SunsetRunner Welcome! It's nice to have you on board! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Thank you for your inquiry. Currently this isn't available but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board so its added as a feature to your Fitbit device. Search for the idea first to see if one already exists so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it. 

Still I hope other users share their suggestions about a pace app.

Let me know how it goes.
