How to display laps while swimming on Inspire 2?

[Clo1717]

Hi there,

I have the inspire 2 and I don't know how to get the display to show me the laps I have done while I'm in the pool swimming Could you please let me know how to do this? I've set the length of the pool and I know how to turn on and off the water lock but I really just want it to show me the number of laps I have done as I'm swimming so I can keep track Thank you!

Hi @Clo1717 Unfortunately there is no way. No current Fitbit trackers/watches do this. In my opinion that is really not on, but I don’t design Fitbits. Sorry.

Hi, @Clo1717, welcome, @NellyG is correct that non of the trackers offer a lap count but the "Sense" does and though I do not have personal experience of the "Versa 3" I've seen this post that indicates lap counting (in the latest posts). I too wish lap counting was more widespread in Fitbit devices (I much prefer the activity tracker form to the smartwatch). My fallback is mental maths, I have a good view of a large digital clock in the pool I use and always note my start time, I know my "pace" from repeated use of the Fitbit app. I check my lap count every 20 lengths and compare it with the time, if I get more than two lengths out on my lap count I see the discrepancy in the time. Not really satisfactory, much more convenient to have a number on your wrist.

Cheers

No current Fitbit tracker counts laps ON the tracker, though I am reliably informed that Sense and (probably) Versa 3 now do. To find out your lap count on you tracker you have to go to the app, which is no use at all if you want to know how many laps you have swum so far. To get the count on your wrist you will need to upgrade to a Smart Watch.
