Add more exercises to Versa 3

[PawanNilank]

There are very limited number of sports or exercises that can be tracked in Versa 3. There are no way to add trackers for some common sports like TT, Badminton, Squash, etc. Is there a chance to increase no. of out of box trackers in near future software update? Or is there a way to add them today?

If you mean more sports added to the list on the watch then I don't think it's going to get updated any time soon. Fitbit hasn't updated the list for many years and even very popular indoor rowing isn't supported despite many users requests. So if I were you I wouldn't wait for any major update in that area.

The workaround for unspecified sports is to track them as Workout and then rename them later using the app or web dashboard.

Hi there, @PawanNilank. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post. We‘re taking your comments and sentiments in regards to our products into consideration.

When a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer, we suggest to use "Workout" (which is a generic catch-all for other types of exercise). Once you finish the activity, you can rename the activity to desired exercise/activity. Please note that the amount of calories burned vary from the exercise you're performing and due to the heart rate tracked by your Versa 3.

Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example, if you change from "Workout" to "Run", it won't remove the calories but will add distance as the main stat to be displayed, this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. However, your the data already tracked will be still counted for your daily totals.

For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

Thanks for your suggestion, though. We're constantly striving to improve Fitbit products and services, and we appreciate all of the input we receive from our customers. The best place to make your voice heard is the Feature Suggestion board on our community.

I understand that you can use "workout". however, there are many legitimate sports that could be covered. Honestly, if you have golf and kick boxing on the versa, then you really could add things like volleyball etc. Sometimes "workout" just doesn't describe it. To me, a workout is something you do in the gym. Please put out a survey to your users and see what sports they would like to see. You could have an extensive list and the user could upload the ones they use.
