Change the default minimum for SmartTrack to 10 minutes

[JGee79]

My auto track activity for walking was set to 10 minutes. I clicked on it and then the default minimum time changed to 15 minutes. Please make 10 minutes the default minimum.

Totally agree having the option to set 10 minutes makes tracking more flexible.

I noticed the same thing. All of my exercises were set to 10 mins, probably for a long time since I’ve been using a Fitbit for years.

Earlier today, I clicked on one in order to see if I could maybe drop it to 5 mins, but discovered that 15 was the minimum. I tried to cancel out of it, but my 10 mins detection was now changed to 15 with no way to change it back.

I completely agree. I also tapped the setting to see if I could reduce it to 5 minutes as sometimes that’s all I can do. It changed my 10-minute setting to 15 minutes and there is no way to revert it back to 10. What about those who do brief but intense bursts of exercise, or those who can’t exercise longer due to personal or physical limitations? Now I have to remember to manually start and end an exercise session in order for my active minutes to be logged, when this was previously automated and much more convenient? Bad move, Google!
