I play tennis, which is a possible exercise on the Fitbit Sense. Sometimes, 2 hours after i'm home, I see that it is still running, so the same would be helpful for other sports as well.
This functionality used to exist as a default setting for the “walking” exercise. I remember it on my Versa 1, but at some point they removed it. I agree that it was a nice feature and they should add it as a configurable setting (ie toggle on/off).
Hi @ajajajajajaj, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see "Auto Pause" detection for walking. I've moved it into a similar request. I think that a lot of users would like to have this option on their Fitbit devices.You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.
Thank you again for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Forums.
I would like to suggest to add a feature that auto notifies (via vibration/notification) you when 30/60/90 or so minutes have passed after started an exercise. That is because I tend to forget to turn the device of after my exercises and that messes up the stats. The clock can run for hours before me noticing it 😉
If I am taking a long walk (5+ miles) and choose to stop during my exercise, I have to manually set the "Pause" action. You have an automatic pause for biking and running. Why is a pause for walking not included?
Hi @Richardtjb, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about having Auto Pause detection available for walk with us. I noticed that a similar idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestion board, so I’ve moved your post here. Please support this idea by adding your vote, this helps our developers to keep tracking its popularity and demand over time.
It seems this is a very desirable feature that many users have commented on and voted for. The suggestion was made quite some time ago and I am wondering whether there any updates and if Fitbit is working on it with a new Charge 5 firmware update?

I posted this same suggestion some time ago. I'm just waiting for them actually to do it. I told them it should have been part of the initial setup like auto pause for biking and running. I guess they think people who take long and/or aggressive walks have no need to pause during their exercise.
Mmhh I don't get why people who take long or fast walks should not need to pause them. I think as they want to track their pace accurately, they would like to have autopause.
There is no "Pause" for walking on VERSA2. Doesn't look like they're going to fix that. They want you to buy a newer version of their watches that has it.
