FitbitOS - Goal Based Exercise Mode

 With the release of the Charge 3 and Goal-Based Exercise Mode, will this feature be added to FitbitOS updates in the future so that it can be used on the Versa or Ionic?

 

Thanks!

Hi everyone thanks for sharing this suggestion. This is being discussed although I do not have a firm commitment or timeline at the moment. Do continue to vote for this feature suggestion whilst it’s under consideration.

Please note that if something is under consideration and chosen for development, it can be a while until it's released or until I have any news to share. Please watch this space for any updates! Thanks for your patience.

I'm pretty sure it's coming. I don't see anyway they have a feature on the tracker they don't include on their smartwatches, but then again you never know.Smiley LOL

Fitbit,

For the Versa and Ionic, you should do goal based workouts like on the Charge 3.  You should be able to set how long or how far you want to go.  For example you can set you want to run for a mile and it will buzz you when that is done.  This feature will be very helpful to people with a Fitbit Versa or Ionic.

 

Thank You Very Much!

Vijay A.

Hi @Vijay17thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has a lot of votes. As the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

I am glad other people agree with me but on a different post!

I would love for this to be a feature on the Versa! I briefly had the Charge 3 and it was a great feature. I liked that you were able to set a goal for a specific workout. I found that it helped me keep up with the exercise. It kept me going throughout the workout and it motivated me to push through my workout "block".

It would be AWESOME if this could be added to the versa (and would make sense esp. as it is more expensive than the charge 3!

I am currently trying to decide between the versa and the charge 3. It's really hard because of this feature. I want an in color smart watch but this is such a great feature it is edging out the versa. I'd love the versa to have this so I can pick it over the charge 3 without any regrets.

I think this feature would encourage me to work out more often. If I could set my workout to burn 400 more calories than my net food consumption that would be a dream. The fact this feature is not available on the Versa is causing me to have a bit of buyer's remorse. I could have saved money and just got the Charge 3 instead.

That feature will make it to the versa. I don't see anyway they have a feature on their trackers that isn't included on the more expensive smartwatches. It's just a matter of time.
