Versa Lite won't track my steps on my rowing machine

[Koch58]

My versa lite keeps track of my daily steps just fine, but nothing shows up on my app when I do 30 minutes on my rowing machine.

Hello @Koch58 and welcome to the Community.  Rowing isn't an auto recognized activity.  You must use the Exercise app on the device.  There is no Rowing shortcut.  You should use the Workout shortcut.   How do I track my workouts with my Fitbit device?  This article includes a section with instructions on how to customize your Exercise Shortcut list.

Hi there, @Koch58. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post. 

As @LZeeW has mentioned, please note that when a specific exercise is not available within the exercises we offer (such as Rowing), we suggest to use "Workout". Once you finish the activity, you can rename the activity to "Rowing Machine". Note that the information to enter will change depending on the nature of the exercise. To give you an example, if you change from "Workout" to "Run", it won't remove the calories but will add distance as the main stat to be displayed, this happen depending of the activity you are categorizing. However, your the data already tracked will be still counted for your daily totals.

For more information about how to do so, see How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

I've moved your post to the Other Versa Smartwatches board for organization purposes. 

Hope that helps.
