Versa not tracking Eliptical workout

[Lodoc]

My Versa won’t track my elliptical workout. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums!

Are you using Smart track? Elliptical is not step based. I would use the start/Stop Exercise function. You can add elliptical to it. Look at Exercise short cuts on your dashboard under account and set up the exercise you use regularly. Then when doing the exercise scroll to it on your device and select it. Push in the button to start. When done push in the button to stop

Manual is here and can help a lot

@Lodoc  It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community! Thank you for your inquiry. I would like to add to @WendyB 's explanation that your device detects activities based on the motion on your arm. The automatic detection is a feature called SmartTrack. For example when using the elliptical machine make sure you have the moving bars so your device detects the motion and record the activity itself, once an Elliptical activity is saved on your account it should show on the Recent Exercise area. If your heart rate is high but there isn't much motion (yoga, weight lifting, etc.) then these activities will be difficult to be detected by your device. Still you can manually log your activity so you have a record on your account or use the activity mode on the device itself.

Let me know how it goes.
