Add Bluetooth devices for HR and candance

[iCEtEA69]

Hi Fitbit people.

I have the New Versa and loves the watch. One lil setback thou. Im surprised that with the included Bluetooth Fitbit didnt include connection to External heart rate (Chest strap) and Bike speed/cadence sensors.

Maybe something that can be included in future Firmware release? This feature will eliminate the need to remove my fitbit just to put on my TomTom. 😉

Thanks

Thanks has been asked for for years. If Fitbit ever does allow external Bluetooth HR sensors,I would consider switching back from  Garmin. However this has been discussed for over 3 years and still no sign of it
