Workout pausing when bending wrists.

[bbarnes19]

Is anyone else having problems with your wrist pausing or ending the workout while you are working out. If i am doing anything with a barbell like a push press or burpess because my wrist is slightly  bent I a constantly pausing the workout. It is really annoying to me when I constantly feel it vibrating because it is pausing itself. Tracking my workouts is my number one reason for having a fitbit.

Hello @bbarnes19, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's great to have you on board. 

I appreciate your participation in the Forums and for sharing your experience with us. At this moment, I would like to suggest you than when you start a workout, please place your Versa a bit upper on your arm, making sure it's tight but not pressing your arm excessively. This has been helpful for many members of the Community facing the same situation. 

I hope this can be helpful, give it a try and let us know the outcome.

@MarcoGFitbit - was coming to post a similar issue. Primary reason for my owning a fitbit is for workouts. I do regular weight training and I also do F45. I wear my fitbit on my left hand, so the 2 buttons on the right of the watch hit my wrist bend - and worse when I wear workout gloves. I try to wear it up on my arm but, only way it stays there is if it's really tight and even then, it's not consistent because of sweat and movement.

Especially for my F45 workouts, it's quite bad because it's not one where am looking at my watch constantly to see if it is paused and to unpause it as I move from station to station. Don't want to wear it on my right hand and have to reconfigure my watch just for during workouts. Is there any thought of trying to have the pause take a longer press to activate the pause? Or have the pause be screen activated rather than button? 

For a fitness tracker, think this is a huge oversight of the product.
