I walk on my treadmill each day for 1 mile.  The Fitbit Versa tracker is the same as the treadmill electronic tracking for time exercising and distance.  However, the calorie count is off about 70 calories due to Fitbit not tracking mph and incline.

 

Is there a way to record this on Fitbit?

No there is not. On  treadmill you really are not covering any distance. How would it determine incline as well?

Also calories are calculated based on your heart rate over the time, not on the distance or incline.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
