Daily Summary Screen "Graph data" calorie burned, BPM, active min., steps, floors, manually act.

Hi

I am a new Versa user of 10 days. I like what the product does but have a suggestion to help the wearer more easily analyse data and make informed decisions about healthy activity that achieves their goals.

I am particularly interested in taking decisions that will enable me to max out my calorie burn. With the current screens, when I look at calorie burn and see a spike it is very onerous to then identify what caused the spike as I then need to leave that screen and load up my BPM screen and then my active minutes screen and then my exercise screen etc to identify any timeline correlation.

 

A simple way to empower the user to identify the cause of a spike in any piece of data would be to offer a daily summary page, with time along the x axis at the bottom where...

Vertically aligned with the timeline would be ALL data graphs including the calorie burn data line, the BPM data line, the active minutes line, the steps line, the floors line, the KM's line and even shaded blocks of time when exercises were manually recorded (or automatically identified) etc.

With this one summary page the user could then see exactly what took place (was recorded) at any point during the day and then correlate the different pieces of data from that one screen.

They could identify what activity gave rise to BPM or calorie spikes which would then, in turn help them identify the best activity to do to maximise for example calorific burn.

Better presented information means more decision making power to the user and possibly a more desirable product - well certainly for me!!

Incidentally, this display style could also be emulated for night time and both sleep and BPM be reflected on the same screen. ( I saw my BPM rose last night and had to navigate to the sleep screen to identify that that was when I woke and got up for a glass of water - If all presented on one screen, I wouldn't have to do this!)

Let's see what others think and I'll let you ponder this suggestion....

Guys,

 

You should add a graph format that allows us to see cumulative data. So, this is NOT total of day data. This is data that shows the running total of something (i.e. steps) during the day. This way, i have a graph showing the number of steps at any point during the day, as well as the total steps at any point in the day, in graph format. Look up CDF graph.

I, too, would like to see this feature.  I would like to see steps and calorie burn in this format.

Thanks @IainRC! thanks a million for sharing this ideas, it looks very specific! I think that it might help a lot of users having same questions about calories burned. Keep sharing your ideas!

Hi @cdnhoser! Nice to see you around, I've moved it into a similar suggestion. Hopefully we will have support from other users since more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. If you need to add or remove any option mentioned above you can add your comments below. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

This seems like data visualization 101 to me. 

 

why can't we see all the info on one graph?
