Need to manually put in weightlifting exercises?

[Dommgames]

Been working out for a few years now, mainly weightlifting, however was thinking about treating myself to a fitbit.

I do have a question, I believe it has a weightlifting option for the fitbit, but do you need to manually enter in reps/sets/exercise? or how does it work

Depending somewhat on which model, when you start the workout, you tell fitbit you are starting weight lifting, and tell it when done, and based on heart rate it figures how many calories you burned, but it does not sense sets, reps, etc at all.  In fact, there is no where to log those.  But there is the log showing when you worked out and your heart rate and calories burned during it.

Essentially it treats it as any other workout, except that it has the weights label to give you a record of what you were doing and when.

Ah I see, does it count calories burned differently also when its set as weights label? since calories burned is little different between cardio and weight lifting.

Also I'm assuming this option is for both Versa 1 and 2?

In that respect, same for V1 and V2 (and V Lite), although V1 is discontinued since V2 came out, though you still might be able to find it.

Difference in calorie calculating? - No idea.
