Thank you for your contribution @JohnO66. I believe that this is a good suggestion and that it can be implemented in the future. I will gladly send your request to our team members so they can take it into consideration.
Any other ideas you might have, feel free to share or vote for them, if it’s already suggested in the Feature Request Forum.
I also play racquetball a lot. At least 3 times each week for about an hour and half to 2 hours. It would be great to have this added. Is the tennis activity close enough to racquetball to use that or should I just say my time playing racquetball is just "workout"?
Racquetball is my primary exercise. Has anyone else used both the tennis and the workout settings and come up with an opinion on which is better for logging racquetball?
Hi @JohnO66 and commenters, thanks for your suggestion.
We're always working to streamline our offerings as we introduce new products. Although it has been a very popular product for us, we will soon stop selling Fitbit Surge. If you're looking for a new device, we recommend considering Ionic. Ionic is a motivating timepiece packed with fitness guidance, health insights, music storage, apps, and more. You can learn more about Ionic at https://www.fitbit.com/ionicor compare the Fitbit family of products at https://www.fitbit.com/compare.
Please note that we’ll continue to support Surge from a software standpoint, along with any questions you might have during your use of the product. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope we can continue to provide you with Fitbit devices you love and help you reach your goals.
I think your suggestion is a good one, so I took the liberty of changing the label and title so that it is applicable to future products and exercise developments.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feedback with us.
I also would greatly appreciate it if racquetball was added to the Ionic exercises. I've had a number of Charge HRs and other Fitbit products in the past and was given an Ionic for Christmas. I've tried the various exercise settings but none of them do a very good job of capturing racquetball stats. It would also be great if the last session/exercise/run stats would be available to look at (especially for trail-running to see what the data was for the time before if you're running the same trail and trying to improve your time or increase your heart rate). The Ionic is a great product. Thx!
Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We're always striving to enhance Fitbit products and services, and we appreciate all of the input we receive from our customers.
