Hi @admumbai thanks for posting your suggestions. I've merged your idea into this thread as as the idea already exists and to keep the Community ordered.
I would very much like to have this as an option - not only would it not require too much work (at least, in theory), but it would also add value to users since they could track how their behavior has improved one of their most important health metrics.
Yes please!! I found a screenshot from 3 years ago and with that, i can see I improved at least 6 points in my VO score and went from pink to blue, yayy. But would love to see it in a chart.
Hi @charleskn, thanks for sharing this suggestion about being able to see your cardio fitness score history and trend with us. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here as this will help us to make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote. You might also be interested in this other suggestion. We'll keep tracking these ideas over time, so please click on the thumbs-up to show your support.
Hi @ArtCohen, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about having a Cardio Fitness Score graph available on the Fitbit app to keep tracking your details with us. Your feedback is appreciated and because a similar idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestion board, I’ve moved your post here. Please support this idea by adding your vote, this helps our developers to keep tracking its popularity and demand over time.
Stuff like this seems like a no brainer which should've been built into the app initially (like ability to mark you're pregnant in the app... Still blows my mind that's not available, yet you all want to predict my cycle and provide guidance there. And yes I've voted for that in a separate thread).
Can't believe it's taken Fitbit 4 years to consider this and now 2 more years have gone by and it's still not available. This metric is somewhat useless without seeing historical information......
Really starting to consider going with another brand next time I buy a fitness tracker.
Ended up here because I wanted to compare my (extremely poor) cardio fitness score to what it is now (still low but better). I'm really frustrated that the app doesn't save your historical scores, even if it was just weekly / monthly. It would be a really motivating feature and I cannot understand why it doesn't already exist - most other features are really good!
Tell your friends to comment, and vote on this idea/thread so that it gets considered as a future enhancement.
I would be that it would require a new database to be created which is a large undertaking. They would need enough people saying they would use it for it to add user value for the cost of development.
It’s been five years! How is there still not any historical tracking for your cardio fitness? The number by itself is quite frankly not that useful m, it’s the comparison over time that really matters
I am revisiting this and doing some of thinking for you.
This would require gathering and storing the data either weekly or monthly. This would be best to be a monthly frequency. Storing this data in a database and presenting a graph of the historical data for 3, 9, & 12 months. Additionally this would need a trend line in the graph for the different lengths of measurements. Otherwise this measurement is worthless information.
Please review and consider this enhancement to the current feature.
Perhaps a simpler step on the path to see trends is to expand the score to include a decimal incremental. I’ve been sat on “48” for months and I have no idea if I’ve improved or not which then doesn’t motivate me to track this longer term. Showing “48.3” allows me to see if I’m improving to a better score of “48.4” and above.
This would be real useful for me to see how my estimated fitness level evolved and changed over time. I really don't understand why it's not a metric with history - everything else is?
