Show walks/runs in Kilometers/miles per hour, not just in pace.

I think it would have extra value to see your pace from walks/runs in Kilometers per hour (or miles per hour for that matter). At the moment you can only see your pace,which for a lot of people is an unknown/underused metric.

I want a color code on my challenges.  I do a family challenge, a work people challenge and a close friends challenge.  Plus, I typically do a trail adventure.  I want to easily see if I'm winning!!!  Thx! Deb

In Europa we use speed instead of pace...

Please include speed and avg speed as a list of stats that could be viewed while running.

I agree, this would be nice to have.

I agree. This should be shown for all moving-type activities. Both on device and app.

I don't really get this "pace" parameter. Speed is what everyone understand. 

It would be good to show also Maximum speed.

In Europe we are used to km/h (speed, kilometers per hour).

I think it's quite poor by Fitbit to lack this feature!

Same here. I would really really like to see the speed (km/hour) of a walk/run.

Many people are wishing this feature for such a long time (2 years).

 

I am surprised because for a Bike exercise you can see the speed (km/hour). So this metric is already being used by Fitbit. 

 

Fitbit, please add this feature.

 

I have the Charge2. So I think this is a general feature to be added to the settings of all Fitbits.

Hi

 

We asked that already in 2015! https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Option-to-display-speed-instead-of-pace/idc-p/21...

But didn't came further than "reviewed by moderator".

So guess It will not going to happen soon.

Maybe that post need a little bit more likes 😉

 

Kind regards

Another voter. I will not put a rant about how useless I find pace. I don´t want it removed, somebody probably likes it, just add the option to show speed.

I'm a bit amazed by the fact that there are not more voters on this topic. Probably there are different wordings for the same topic. It would be better to look into this and combine topics to one. Moderator? Otherwise you get a shattered image of the topic. Some tags: kph kmh km/h speed mile/h m/s meter kilometer charge hr 2

Health experts tell us that to be healthy our walks should be above three miles an hour. Could the stats for walking exercise please include average and peak speeds?

Please add an option to show the speeds in km/h or mile/hour instead paces in minutes and seconds

@LizFitbit - is there a reason that none of the tickets regarding the ability to show speed instead of pace (which would be HUGE for biking for those of us looking to properly track race speed) have even been reviewed? While this ticket is more recent, there are others from as far back as January that say new and haven't been reviewed. Thanks!

I agree!!! I have no idea what "pace" is and it means nothing to me. Everything I do is measured in MPH. On the Ionic you should have the option to see your speed in MPH, while moving and as a result for walking, hiking and running. This is just basic and is a big omission. I would think that you would want to appeal to everyday people, not just professional marathon runners.

Not showing your speed in MPH is an obvious omission that should be corrected immediately!!! We should have moving speed, average speed at the end.

In the Fitbit App Activity section, it would be nice to be able to choose either Speed or Pace.  Most fitness apps have that option and it is not very complex to implement.

I think it should be a basic feature of every tracking device to show speed (and I've never seen a device that wouldn't have this feature). I really don't get it why speed isn't available in fitbit Ionic during running whil it is during cycling. ???

I need live speed data during running, since I've been using it forever to track my status and progress.
