Include seconds in the exercise duration

Along with many, I am very annoyed (to the point that I will not replace my Fitbit when it breaks but will go elsewhere) by the removal of the browser view.

The IOS app only shows a run duration to the nearest minute, whereas the browser view showed to the second. Have you no idea what the basic requirements of a fitness tracker are?

Lack of comment from Google/Fitbit is disgusting. I would like an app that I can review exercise history on and see exercise times for comparison. The actual time of the exercise is important as are the lap times (duration), not solely average pace for each lap. I do my runs on an Olympic 400 meter track where a lap is 400 meters. It's ridiculous that I'm still waiting for these times to return for the better part of this year after receiving 26 updates for "bug fixes and performance improvements" and only seeing further retrogrades. I'm moving on

This is an unbelievable retrograde step in functionality.

And now Android users have got it back but not iOS users ! How hard can it be ???

Just here to note that it's now April 2025 and Fitbit still has not restored this most basic functionality of a run tracker. I would understand not bothering to maintain a product well, but there's some product manager there who keeps putting engineering time into changing the product and making it actively worse. They're spending money on destroying the product! Why? I hope Google understands that they're not going to shift users to more in-house wearables, they're convincing me (and every other Fitbit user I know of) that Google cannot manage even the most rudimentary aspects of fitness trackers. 

I don't need the new sleek app design (which is also less convenient and less attractive). I don't need or want recommendations about my "daily readiness" or "stress management" when you can't even show me my own data accurately. After all, if you can't even show me my own data correctly, why would I think that you've (1) put correct data into the ML models, (2) done a good job training those models, or (3) correctly shown me the outputs of those models? Instead of wasting time on too-clever-by-half data science-driven "features", just get someone who understands UI/UX---and ideally, someone who has ever gone for a run. Pretty clear no one on the Fitbit design team uses the product for fitness.

They are back - the seconds! On my iPhone.
Oddly I have now run at the exact same min:sec the last 3 times, I wonder if that will continue
