'LiveSync' Data With Phone During Workout

It is safe to assume that many users carry their phone during workout. It will be nice if Fitbit devices sync data in real-time with paired mobile devices during workout. Fitbit mobile application can automatically switch to LiveSync mode in which detailed information regarding the workout can be presented. Graphical display of heart rate, zone and calorie burn chart can be immensely helpful during workout. Fitbit device syncs with mobile device via Bluetooth every second to ensure real-time data is presented to the user.

I believed this suggestion would give a different perspective of an exercise, since it will provide real-time data about  your exercise, a lot of users will benefit from this feature.

 

Thanks for your suggestion!

This feature is an absolute necessity for a fitness tracker since it makes it much easier to adjust your workout with real time data (e.g. on a treadmill)

Any update on this suggestion as I saw it was posted back in 2015?

Ditto.  Any updates on this?  Seems like a reasonable and easy app to integrate with the existing tech (I have an Ionic).

 

I do worry that I see a lot of suggestions and "good idea!" responses from Fitbit...but nothing seems to make it out of the gate and there are surprisingly only a handful of apps.  Starting to get a little buyers remorse.

 

Like the original poster stated, I'm finding my Fitbit to come up short on the utility scale.  This is a perfect example of in-use training data that is needed and we shouldn't have to wear other HR tech (chest strap) to achieve this.  Telling me after I worked out which zones I was in is only marginally useful.

 

Thanks!

Hi

 

This feature is available on my $40 Xiaomi band. Thought I was upgrading when I bought the pulse 3. Any idea when this will be considered?
