Allow us to reorder exercises on Charge 6

[DavidNS]

It is great having access to all exercise shortcuts on the Charge 6, however I would like to be able to choose the ones that appear in the first 6.

The new Charge 6 comes with the list of exercises on the tracker and then a "More" to select other exercises. For most people, we only use the same 4-5 exercises on a consistent basis. This creates a lot of unnecessary scrolling (eg Spinning which is near the bottom). Old versions let us reorganize the shortcut list. Please bring that back.

Charges 1-5, all had exercise shortcuts, the code already exists, it should be easy to add.

I 100% agree that ease of exercise selection is one of the most important features for a fitness tracker. Please help put the feature back as soon as possible. Thank you!

@LizzyFitbit - should this https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Product-Feedback/Able-to-customize-Exercise-app-list-on-Smartwatches...  be merged here? Or are they dissimilar enough to keep separate?

[PerfectBlue]

1000 times this.

I'm having to scroll past skiing, snowboarding and skating, in order to get to the thigns that I actually need.

I only use 3, everything else is in the way. I could do this on my Charge 2, but not appartly on my brand new charge 6. Features are going backwards?

[Arno7]

What's more: the order or apps in the first place. Too many swipes requires to get to where you want from the home screen. Such an easy way to improve UX. 

[chrissy1987]

On charge 6 there is an only a selection of workouts. There isn’t meditation for example or tabatha.

On older Fitbit I used to just choose one similar and then change/amend the exercise. I now can’t see the function to do this!!!!

[jdh5484]

I agree on this. Choosing which exercises appear and in which order is important. I do a lot of different exercises to mix things up, but only on a week by week basis. Not having this feature is almost a no-go. I just upgraded from the charge 5 and was shocked that this feature is no longer available. 

[Janeksv]

There is no available to change workout order on the Charge 6 device either on the app or on dashboard. That's what Fitbit support team member told me.

[GBinIrvine]

I agree with the others. Stop the scrolling madness! My Charge 4 enabled me to control the order of exercise types. Why did Charge 6 take us backward?

It's very silly to require swiping through a long list of items you'll never use when we should be able to customize the order from the FitBit app. This would make it much more convenient for quickly starting a handful of routines we use.

[Celeste-14]

I totally agree.  I don't do any of the default top few exercises.  I want swimming to be easily selected, as it was on my Charge 5.  It is absolutely incomprehensible why Fitbit are taking backwards steps on new versions.

[JustMe123456]

Removing possibility to select favourite exercises is a TERRIBLE choice for "improvement". Such downgrade pushes me to start considering choosing your competition. Please bring it back

[Amylouhop]

Previously before the app update and with my old charge 3, you could reorder the exercises through the app for display on your watch.

I can no longer do this as every exercise is just listed in the watch, which in theory sounds great as previously you could only have 6 but as someone who’s main activities are walking and yoga this is bad.

PLEASE PLEASE bring back the ability to reorder the exercises on the Charge 6!  Yoga, which is a daily routine for me is at the bottom of a time consuming scroll through exercises that have nothing to do with me!!  Thank you in advance for your speedy update to this problem! 

[PeggyeG]

This is something I also used for my Charge 5. I just received a replacement for a defective Charge 5 and the exercises have been reset and I can't reorder them. This is EXTREMELY annoying, to the point that I am rethinking my purchase.

[OceanTide210]

I had just received my new Charge 6 when I posted my comment to the board, but now, after actually using the exercise, I have found that the exercises I am using are right on top, then the exercises I have not used are below and in alphabetical order.  I am very happy with the way the exercises are working.

[Kewob]

I really need this. I came from the Inspire HR and even there it was possible to sort the exercises. I don't run, I usually only bike and swim and I hate to scroll to oblivion to select the swimming option.

[alanathome]

I do agree, messing with my new charge 6 is a bit fiddly, anything to simplify its usage would be good. The default exercise is running, I have bad knees for running so I would prefer weights for my default please.

[molliesellenjon]

I agree with what's already been said. I'd like this to be customizable. Very short sighted to remove that feature.

[MTjenny]

Agree with all the above comments. With my previous Charge 3, I could select yoga right off the top without needing glasses. I missed the first few poses in yoga tonight trying to scroll down to find it at the bottom. I ended up logging under aerobics instead.  Nice to have the option of all the different exercises but I rarely do most of them. Please bring back the ability to select our top five or so!!
