The exercises that are used every day will stay at the top. I use walk, treadmill, yoga and weights, and they are all at the top for me to select. The only time I need to scroll lower than those top four is if I want to add a whole new exercise. Hope this helps!
This! Maybe it will eventually 'learn' the 5 top exercises I track, but why should I, or any Fitbit user, have to wait for that to happen? Allow us to pick and order what we want to track, from the get-go. As someone else said, the code exists since it was the norm on prior Charge versions. Pretty please, bring it back.
Ditto all comments above. Just switched from Charge 5 to Charge 6 when 5 died and couldn't believe top 6 exercise choice and ordering had been removed. Understand it may eventually chose my most used activities. But if it reads all the historic data from the app then it should automatically know these already. Not sure who the focus group for this change was but def a backwards move. And as others have said the code is already there so just go ahead and update it. It's over 6 months since this was first raised as an issue. Thanks for helping us out.
I just got my charge 6 because my charge 5 just failed unexpectedly. I am very upset about this also because I use yoga and running and tennis but nothing else and I have to scroll scroll scroll. I don't think my sister is going to get one because of that.
How many comments and votes do we need for the dev team to prioritize exposing this feature to the Fitbit Charge 6 Exercise app like it is in all the other Charge model's? This is pretty basic. No one wants a list of 40 exercises to contend with.
The latest exercise will be at the top/default. Agree, it's nice to see an extensive list but can't we reorder and customise them in the app, as per the old devices? It takes too long scrolling archery and women's badminton to find what you want.
I understand it is a marketing point of the Charge 6 to have all activities available all the time on the tracker, but please give us the option to manually sort the top 5. This is a safety issue - for example, on my Inspire 3 (which had its screen die permanently after swimming), I had Biking first so it was easy to select while on the bike.
It's very disheartening to see that features from the Charge 5, which bricked after a firmware update, are not included in the Charge 6. Why must 35 different workouts be available at all times? I bet most people regularly use only up to three exercises. The ability to remove the ones that are never used would be greatly appreciated!
For me re-ordering exercises is a must have function on the Charge 6 as I used it on the charge 4 and was reluctant to upgrade (at least give us a favourites section) If this software update is not implement within 3 months, I’ll be moving to another platform and cancelling my premium subscription. I’m not messing about anymore I need flexibility and other shall we say fruit shaped platforms would give me that, so make it happen asap please.
wow what a bad decision to introduce a regression between versions 5 and 6. you really need to work on UI/UX because there is too much tapping/scrolling required for very simple use cases.
Okay so here we are nearly a year after the first posting on this thread.
Please please please bring back the ability to reorder our exercises to customize our device, not all of us are runners but all of us would like the ease of being able to quickly select the exercise we are ready to preform.
the most recent exercises will be at the top. But I agree, there are way too many now and should be able to set your favorites (or 5 most common ones) in the app.
I don't know why this setting was removed! It is supposed to order it automatically but having moved from charge 5, it has not remembered my recent activity.
I've had every charge since 3 and I am so disappointed with my Charge 6. Having to scroll to the very bottom to choose Walking as an exercise. I walk at night or don't have a lot of time. it takes me 5 minutes to get to the bottom of the list...not fun in the cold.
Please bring back the feature to choose top 6 exercises.
