I have the Versa. Does it automatically add your step distance and cycling/walking/running  distance together for your daily totals on the Fitbit app ? I don’t think it is because my daily distance total should be way more if it did ??

Hi @KeeKee4 The distance recorded is only related to the step based activities you do - simple calculation - number of steps x stride length.

Other activities such as swimming or bike with no step component do not get added to tota distance (even though distance is recorded as in swimming or bike using GPS)
