Display total time after each split

I suggest that you also display the total time elapsed for each split, not just pace. Both in the app and dashboard. 

This is a standard stat in Garmin for instance.

Example: 

Split1: 5'30"(pace) total time: 5:30min

Split2: 5'45"(pace) total time: 11:15min

...and so on.

Yes! More people need to see this and chime in.

 

And I second the ridiculousness of showing calories per lap for swimming. What is the point? Is that really the most important stat that swimmers want to see? We should see time splits! And for running we should see time splits, too, not pace. Or at the least, let the users choose which stat to see.

 

Please, FitBit. Make this change! Soon!

Honestly, it is a little ridiculous that Fitibit has failed to address this for a couple for ~1.5 years. Not only is the "calories burned" metric riddled with assumptions that decrease it's accuracy, its not a metric that is useful at the split level. It is difficult to improve as a swimmer or triathlete (or really any endurance sport) without comparing the amount of time it took to go a specific distance over the course of your training (i.e. comparing splits). Please, for the love of efficient training, just give us the split times for manual cues in swimming.

Please fitbit.. can you provide an update that will show the times for splits on the dashboard when data is uploaded for splits. We don't want a calorie spilt but we want a lap split of times done.

 

And the gps turned on for swimming be also a great idea.

Currently the versa can be set to either auto-pause or not, meaning you can either elapsed time or moving time. Would like to be able to track both. E.g. I was gone for 2 hours but I was only moving for 1 hr 40 min.

Hi @Bkuhlmann! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Well after a year of inaction by Fitbit I've given up and bought a Garmin Venu. Very happy, I can now see my swim splits again!

 

Aside from not addressing this bug (yes, it's a bug, this feature obviously was meant to work as the splits are displayed post-swim but not saved) there have been a number of recent changes which have annoyed me greatly:

 

The workout display colour has changed from yellow to orange. This makes it much more difficult to see in the water or indeed when I'm running.

The heartrate is now not shown on the screen prior to starting a workout. This was very useful to see an initial heartrate and check that the watch was reading OK.

 

You now can't start workouts with the physical buttons. That's a real pain if you're going for a run in cold weather and wear gloves.

 

I just want to use the physical buttons to start / pause workouts. I've been running in the rain a couple of times and the workout has been inadvertently paused a couple of times by rain falling on the screen.

 

The android app has become extremely flaky and crashes frequently.

 

Swim lap detection has been a bit hit and miss lately (often being a lap behind). I don't know if this is because of the annoying message that now appears at the start of every swim workout (it's not entirely clear when the timer starts)

The swim splits only showing calories, the run splits only showing average pace instead of actual time, and then over the last few months my runs have switched to using my stride length instead of the GPS for at least the first couple miles - if not the entire run. I finally gave up, as well. Switched to Garmin Forerunner 735xt. You don’t have to be a serious athlete to needs these stats. If you actually care about your exercise stats, FitBit just doesn’t cut it. And these are items that have been around on other watches for years. So it’s inexcusable for FitBit not to at least make them a customizable option. Oh well. I’m now only using my FitBit account to connect to my Aria scale. It’s been real.

I have been waiting for 3 years, many many swimmers complained, but nothing's updated for pace in app. fitbit is dumb, doesn't care customer's feedback. Suggesting not buy any fitbit products

Totally agree. 3 years of users asking for simple change. They do nothing. Won't be buying a Fitbit again.

While seeing the pace on each mile in the mile spilt is helpful, I'd rather see the actual time each mile took.

Hi @HDH3636, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about having the option to see time elapsed for each split. I've moved it into a similar request. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

We get shown a total time and then a split in terms of pace for KM/Mile - but why don't we get to see the actual TIME we ran for per KM or mile?

Other watches do this - such as Apple, Garmin, etc. I just don't get why Fitbit doesn't.
