Hey Fitbit, 

I recently changed from the Fitbit charge 3 to the Fitbit Versa. I’m very active and although the Fitbit has many features it does not have a tracker for Juno rope. I wouldn’t even need to count the Jumps/reps etc. It would just need to disable the step counter as it does while on a bicycle ride so it doesn’t give a false reading due to the arm motion. Let me know what you think!

Jump rope tracking. It's such a cheap and effective low impact workout that you can do anywhere.

Please add Jump Rope as one of the  activities to select as a shortcut. I would like to be able to choose it from Exercise Shortcuts on my Versa. Right now, I have to edit using the web app and change each time to specify Jump Rope.

I suggest you add jump rope to the list of exercise shortcuts we can access when using our watches.

It would be great to see this skip rope feature to track skipping exercises. Apple watch has this feature and it tracks skip jumps, calories burned and speed. I wouldlove to see skipping tracking available with Fitbit

Oh Jumping Rope is the new trend.  All my friends now have the weighted ropes from Crossrope and would love to have Fitbit (mine is Versa) track jumps or at least track time jumping as an exercise.

Jumping rope can track even the cheapest $30 fitness bracelets - and they do it very well. That's why I'm surprised how much hype Fitbit is making around implementing this simple functionality. So if I'm going to jump rope, I'm taking the cheapy Xiaomi mi band 6. Just so you know how useless your product can be in some situations. I'll probably return my new Sense within 30 days period and buy a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.

As the title suggests, it would be great to have Jump Rope as an option for FitBit Luxe users. I love the slimline design of this product and use it for a range of exercises... but miss having a Jump Rope option. I know this product is relatively new so hoping this can be updated. Thanks!
