Starting and stopping the exercise tile is so aggravating. The final lets go step is unnecessary

 The fit, feel, comfort of the charge 3 is awesome. This is suppose to be a step up from the charge 2, but on some things the stepped down. I have a weights and treadmill tile i use. To start either is sooooo aggravating. You have t ok push like 3 times to start. The last ( lets go ) step makes no sense. And to stop you push then have to wait , then push, and Then have to push the finish button. Please, please make the tiles easier to use and the ability to customize. Why do i have to swipe past tiles i do not use? I love this watch, but these issues have to be fixed.

I agree with jaasonO!  I'm on day 2 with Charge 3 and  while I LOVE the look and feel and that it is swim proof, stopping an exercise takes forever!  It is SO frustrating I am considering returning the device and going back to the Charge 2.  Not a happy camper at the moment!  😞 😞

Agreed

 

These processes have to be streamlined....   They are egregiously complicated for no good reason

Please vote on this to simplify starting and stopping exercise. I hope they get rid of 'let's go'!

I'm in complete agreement with this. I've missed recording several exercises by pressing start and getting on with it - only to find when I finish that I haven't pressed the "let's go" button. The one situation where I can see the extra step has merit is in connected GPS activities, where a runner or walker may wish to wait to ensure the phone is paired and GPS is recording. However, for non GPS activities the step is completely unnecessary!

 

At the very least, the steps should be renamed. Instead of the sequence being "Start" then "let's go" (to me start means start), I'd have the steps described as something like "Get ready" then "Go"

 

Really annoying this - given it's so simple to get right!

I COMPLETELY agree. The "let's go" button is the current bane of my fitness existence.

 

I like the tiles. I have them customized in the order I want and use them. But that doesn't help when I'm trying to get a workout started and I have to tell my Fitbit three separate times I would like to start working out. 

 

I understand picking a workout from the tiles (button press one) and then pressing start (button press two (one would assume this starts the workout)) but the having to press start AGAIN is super frustrating. 

 

By the time I press start the third time (if I remember to do it at all) I'm already partway into my workout.

 

@Fitbit please please fix this and let me get rid of the let's go button

Totally agree. The main thing I use this for it a watch and exercise tracker. 1/4 of my workouts aren't tracked because I forget to hit the annoying let's go button.

I feel like putting the Charge 4 into my blender everytime I forget to hit "let's go" after I hit "Start". This happens 6/7 days. 2021 issue still remains!

I just missed tracking my last workout for the umpteenth time because of this. How does "start:" not mean "start?" Instead start means "Show me the let's go button" which is the real start button.
