Add Rowing to Exercise app on all Fitbit devices

Indoor Rowing Machine requests are all over the forum & yet, only certain devices have it. If it's available for SOME, it should be available on ALL. The Charge 5 is a newer model & is still lacking this option. The math is already done, so PLEASE share it with all devices.

Moderator edit: Clarified subject
This is needed because:
This exercise shortcut only exists on certain devices & those devices do NOT have a comfortable footprint for 24/7 wear, like the Charge line does. I just upgraded from the 4 to the 5 & this one factor alone is having me consider returning my new Charge 5.
I'd use this: Daily

I have a Charge 5. I use a rowing machine 2-3 x / wk.

Use rowing machine daily!
Not sure why it’s not included in exercise choices . It’s been a topic since at least 2022.

Also wishing for Rowing as a sport activity! I use an indoor rowing machine about 5 times a week. Would be nice to have it as an option on my Versa 3.

My case is with a Versa 4. It has rowing as an exercise but I do not
believe it works since it shows no more increase in heart rate than if I
were walking - rather slowly at that.
