Add Badminton to Exercise app

Hi there,

The blaze has a exercise shortcut for Tennis, but doesn't have shortcuts for other racket sports.  This is most unfair.

Please could you either add other rackets sports, such as Badminton and Squash, or rename Tennis to 'Racket sports'  

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Please consider adding sports as your customers suggest, and take into account that movement in squash, tennis and badminton could be implemented in one racket sport category.

 

I can't believe that after more than 2-3 years old requests (several racket sport topics), fitbit has done absolutely nothing...

Very disappointing.

Yes even I am surprised, and as suggested by you it can be implemented in a
single category under Racquet Sports as it will help us get detailed
information with regards to the sport

This is so surprising I agree, and actually many competitor and third party tracking app already have much more sports activity tracking than fitbit ! WTH ?!

They can even give us an option to add the data through the third party
apps if it is not possible for them to add the Racquet Sports in their
activities

Adding badminton is a great idea.

Hi All
I was hoping to have squash and badminton added to exercises for the versa2. Although tennis is on there the above are much faster paced games and it would be great to measure the stats from both.
I'd also like.mountain bike added but there is already a suggestion running for that
Thanks
Have a good day

Add badminton as a sport. You have tennis already, surely the tracking will be similar!
