End exercise when you stop exercising--not 15 min later!

[Dab-123]

When you are walking and then you stop walking, Fitbit should not wait 15 min to send a reminder to end the exercise. At the very least, it should go on pause. What could possibly be the reason to leave such a gap?
LizzyFitbit: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE MY TITLE! Your "edits" make my posts not come up in searches.

I fully agree. I also noted (and posted) about the fact that when the battery dies during exercise, the exercise timer should also end.  Currently it does not end until I recharge my Fitbit. Curious about your comment to Lizzie about not editing your title.  My post has 0 votes, yet seems to me I cannot be the only one to have experienced this battery dead/exercise timer continues to run issue. Do you have suggestions for making posts easy to search/find? Thanks

People probably aren't protesting because Fitbit hasn't (yet) removed the ability to alter the duration of the exercise in the app.

Along with everyone else. I feel I was misled as there is no altimeter. I would never have purchased this if I had known. I would have gone back to the Fitbit I previously had. 
Along with that - I can’t see the time while exercising!!!!! Ridiculous

@mikey_pdx Who has time to go back and edit every exercise? I am constantly surprised at the tolerance for doing the same time consuming things over and over again that can easily be handled automatically.

@GinnyBee THey have also now removed the option of liking comments so that we can observe the popularity of points.  It really feels like they are removing functionality and trying to kill the product.

And have you seen their surveys? It's a joke. They ask you if you came for product support or other, and if you answer 'other', the survey closes!  This is rather unbelievable.

@Dab-123 I don't have to do that, because I manually track my exercises, since I actually care about capturing what I'm doing instead of hoping my device will just detect everything for me. Most of the time, I can even remember to stop the recording. The device can't auto-detect weight lifting or rowing or skiing or riding my stationary bike anyway, so I'm just in the habit of actually using the exercise app on the device.

I can safely say after all the years of having a Fitbit I’m done. I am going to count this charge 6 as a loss and try a different company. Moving to Google was just another big PITA that they deemed necessary
