App duplicating workouts after categorizing

[nnschlangen]

I recently switched from an Inspire HR to a Versa 2, and now when I categorize a workout in the app it duplicates it. 

For example, yesterday I did a tabata workout but that isn’t an option on the watch, so I tracked it as circuit training. Then after syncing with the app I categorized the workout as tabata. It then showed on the dashboard and in the exercise section twice - the data is the same but it’s there under both circuit and tabata. 

This is something I did routinely with the Inspire HR and it was never an issue, but exercises duplicate anytime I re-categorize with the Versa 2. 

There is no duplication of workouts when it is something that Fitbit auto recognizes (when I play volleyball Fitbit auto detects and tracks it as “sport” and I can change to volleyball without issue).  The duplication only happens when I actively track a workout from the watch. 

I am using an iPhone 8 on the most recent iOS. It’s the same phone that I used with the Inspire HR. The only change was the Versa 2, so something is glitchy. I did check the forums and there were a handful of users with duplication issues from 2016-2019 but no resolutions.

I'm not up on that so can't really give explanation, but until you get a better answer, I have read from others whom I trust, that 'Workout' is the only exercise type they could rename.  So I wonder if has anything to do with how you renamed it.  Or you could try tracking it as 'Workout', then rename it, and see if that works better.
