Manually log a lap when in run exercise function,

I would like to manually log a lap when In the run function. I swear this used to be a function which has been lost in a software update. Very poor and making a switch to other smart watch more likely if this is not rectified

Even on the how to use section of the blaze on the app the lap function symbol is visible! Why has this option been removed

There are several use cases where manual lap times is highly relevant:
- Running intervals, where you would separate the high and low intensity levels
- Running on tracks, where you would like to make sure that you get the correct reading (GPS might be off with a couple of percents)
- In a race, where you would like to log each official km/mile

Hi @Solhell, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to manually log a lap when exercising or running. This feature suggestion already exists, so I've moved it into a similar request. While we don’t currently have plans to release this feature, we always appreciate the passion and creativity that comes out of this Community. Since we know this idea is important to many of you, we have left voting open to continue tracking interest and will post another update if anything changes. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs.

 

I hope to see you around.
