How do I automatically track outdoor bike with Versa 3?

[rzburk]

How do I get the Versa 3 to auto-recognize an outdoor bicycle ride? It is getting colder in Michigan, and it is hard to peel back the layers of clothing sleeves to get to my watch to start an exercise - it would be much nicer if the watch could autorecognize the exercise like it does walks and runs...and then I wouldn't have to engage the gps, which does drain the battery pretty quickly.

Hi there @rzburk, it's nice to see your around the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post, I understand how important to you is to automatically track your outdoor bikes since it's getting colder where you live. I'll be glad to answer your inquiry. 

Let SmartTrack have your back. Your watch automatically detects and records activities at least 15 minutes long. Open the Fitbit app to see your stats. For more information, see How do I track my activity with my Fitbit device?

Let me know if you have any other question.

Hi there @AnitaA123, welcome on board. I'm sorry to hear that your Versa 3 stopped tracking your outdoor bike since the update, I understand where your concern is coming from. I'll be glad to help you. 

If you haven't done so yet, I'd recommend restarting your watch by following these steps. Then, see if your Versa 3 recognizes your outdoor bike activity.

This does not start the exercise app on the device. I want to Auto start on device so I get gps data.
