Automatic pool aerobics tracking

[marysynnott1]

Will my versa lite keep track of my pool arobics exercises automatically?

Hi @marysynnott1. Welcome! It's nice to see a new face around the Forums.

It's great that you have a Versa Lite and let me help you with your question. Currently your watch can track certain exercises automatically, however pool aerobics isn't part of that list. I know how much you'd like to see that activity being tracked by itself or with the exercise app and be sure that our team continues working to enhance the performance of our products. In fact, we have the Feature Suggestions board where you can post new ideas that you wish to see in the future. Let me suggest to submit your request there so others can vote for it to show their support. The more votes an idea receives, the better chance it has of getting the attention of the developers!

By the way, I've moved your post to the Versa Smartwatches thread so you can receive more related responses about this situation, and to keep our forums organized.

Hope to see you around.

Thank you for your response. I'm really disappointed. However I I have voted that it would be added. 

Before I take the watch back, I was wondering if "workout" in the exercise app would do the same thing?

Thank you,

Mary Synnott

@marysynnott1   While your Versa Lite doesn't automatically track "water aerobics", it might pick it up as "Sports" or "Aerobic Workout" because of the types of active motions that are sensed by your tracker.  But it might miss the start/stop time exactly.  So yes, the Workout option in the Exercise App is a better choice to get the kind of detail you want.

I often get active yard work recognized as either Sports or Aerobic Workout.

Thank you so much, I will try that!
