Fitbit versa pauses during exercise

[Katiemcg]

Hi there, 

I have read that many many people are having the same problem but hoping it has been resolved since. 
When I exercise, life weights, push up etc. my fitbit versa pauses on and off continuously. Often it won't even record half the session - its completely useless for this really! Is there any way around this? Prehaps a way to disable buttons during exercise or lock the watch? 

Otherwise I will have to return this watch and get an apple instead. 

Thanks,

@Katiemcg Unfortunately there is no way to disable the buttons for now. This feature has been requested, so please vote for it!.

@Katiemcg It’s not a perfect solution, but I started wearing a wristband over my Versa during workouts and that solved the problem. It very rarely pauses anymore.

@Jrdubyakc I agree and I'm glad you're not giving up on Versa. I hope this will get addressed sooner rather than later. I know that some people (boxing) switched hands or moved Versa higher up their arm which seemed to help. I guess it would depend on the type of exercise. Good luck! 😄
