Periodic reminder (vibrate) that versa is tracking an activity.

When tracking an exercise on my Versa, I frequently forget to stop it so it continues to count the time after I have stopped the exercise which obviously gives me bad data toward my goals.

The easiest solution is to have a configurable feature where the device will provide some unique vibrate pattern every couple of minutes (default) lick a couple of short vibrations or something. This would remind me to check the device in which case I would either remember it is still tracking the exercise, or I would see the screen. Once I know the tracking exercise indicator, I can easily disregard the reminder while I am exercising. Being a configurable feature, it would allow people to turn off the feature or change how often to remind maybe up to 5 or 10 minutes apart (or maybe unlimited).

@KarlSmith Thank you for your suggestion.

 

Currently, you can to set reminders while you are performing an exercise. You can choose between 3 options:

- Time

- Distance

- Calories burned

 

From the online Dashboard, go to Settings > Devices > Exercise Cues. 

Please make sure to sync your watch everytime you make a change on your Fitbit account.

I often track workouts with my Fitbit versa but far to often forget to stop tracking. It would be an idea to add a default max workout time you can set. If you get near it the watch vibrates to remind you that you may want to stop it
