None of the apps' exercise options capture skating like it should. Workoit mode had the steps and calories much much lower than any other app I have used specifically for skating. Like half the amount. Please and thank you.

Please include GPS tracking, the current method is completely inaccurate, logging less than half the distance I skate.  You're really going to have to up your game if you ever want me to upgrade this device.  5 years of ignoring this suggestion.... Wrong.

My main sport is rollerskating in summer making long tracks and ice skating in winter and also some rollerobics in between. It really would be beneficial for fitbit te add a skating exercise which is able to track distance and km per hour/speed. This is only available for running and biking now. It really would be great to have this for skating or a general workout that tracks distance and speed. The general workout now does not track distance and speed. And this is not usefull for skating. Also runing or bikinng is completely different then skating. I would like to be able to logg these exercises differently. Skating is really a sport in its own right and is different then all the exercises that are available at the moment in the app. Please fitbit I think alot of people are waiting for this option. There are alot of skaters amongst us. I really love fitbit and being able to wear something comfortable during skating like the Inspire HR is a great plus. Please add this exercise. ❤️

Whether you add this as an execrcise or keep it as an activity you have to edit to get it recognized, please at least add an editable mileage field to the Rollerblading activity/exercise, or, allow it to be obtained from GPS (on my Charge 3, too please, I have not yet figured out how to get GPS to work with my Charge 3).  I'd like to keep track of my mileage and performance based on that mileage.  I'd bet also that you guys could figure out some stats you could calculate based on that stat combined with heart rate, oxygen, etc.

I agree that this would be great to add to exercise shortcut list. Just got back into rollerblading so I’d love to be able to track it this way.

please add rollerblading/skating as an exercise option

I bought the Iconic thinking it would track my skating and it doesn’t 😞

Please add it soon!

I would love it if fitbit adds more excercices and absolutely roller skating and badminton. It would make the watch sooo much better than it already is.

It would be great to be able to track roller skating like I could running/biking/etc. as an exercise shortcut on my Charge 2, so I don't have to go into the app and recategorize my sessions afterward.

Why has there been any progress in this since 2016?


Are you serious ?

 

Please update its simple change to add an activity when you have so many.

 

I really like my Fitbit Versa 2 but if my friends are able to track their skating on other watches, my Fitbit will have to become redundant.

I am really sorry but I just did a search of the suggestions and this has been requested many times.

It’s upsetting because it’s an option many users would like to be able to use and track.

Why has there been no progress on any of the skating suggestions
