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.

Hi @wendyvo, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to see speed and pace on Fitbit exercises. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

I also really miss this feature. Hopefully FitBit can do something at this problem.

Very strange the most obvious stat (speed) is not showing off on the watch while running. I hope with google now Fitbit will listen better to its customers.

By the way I’m using a Versa 2.

After Google acquired Fitbit I decided to make the switch to Garmin so this
is no longer an issue for me, but good luck to you guys!

When running I'm only interested in 2 variables, heartrate and speed. Please add the speed in km/h, so strange that the most basic setting is missing.

Please make it possible to show speed instead of pace when running

Show outdoor exercise speed in miles/ hour, live on the watch and in the app. “Pace” is not useful to me.

Hi @KatyD., thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about the possibility of showing exercise speed in miles/hour and not just the Pace. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here, this helps to keeps the boards more organized. Make sure to add your vote as well to support this suggestion, this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time.
