We need a program to record water aerobics. Presently we must tailor another exercise program, but there is no tracker for calories burned, step adjustment, etc. Tailoring “Walk” gives a step counter and time, but no way to adjust stride. SOLUTION: step length, step counter, then 4-5 resistance or intensity levels, length of time at each level, or average intensity. Incorporate arm activity in intensity. Presently I have no reason to upgrade to Versa. Perhaps this could be a separate waterproof device that syncs to dashboard. Moderator edit: Updated subject for clarity.

I do a lot of dance and know people who do lots of gymnastics. However, there isn’t anything for things such as dance and gymnastics, so I have to choose workout. I believe these should be added, Thankyou. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label

It would be nice if we could have weekly goals that are not directly linked to our daily goals. For example, a daily step goal of XXXXX steps would be a YYYYY step weekly goal normally. I know that the XXXX step goal is attainable most days if I put in the effort. At the same time, I know that achieving more than YYYYY in a week is also attainable since I have days where I can go well beyond my daily goal, say XXXX+5000 steps a day 2-3 times a week. Thus, being able to to set a weekly goal as well would give more incentive to go beyond the daily goals. I know I cannot hit XXXX+5000 steps a day 7 days a week, but if I also know it is very attainable to hit YYYYY+10,000 steps a week as a weekly goal. This could also be applied to the goal setting for floors and distance. It could also then have its own set of badges - hitting weekly goals for X # of weeks in a row.

I would like while using the interval workout to record the whole workout with GPS (something like Garmin has). Start running and after warm up ,start your interval workout, and after that a cooling down of and record the whole run with GPS. At this moment the only thing whats recorded is the interval workout that you setup before, and you can't set it up with warming up and cooling down. For example the best option in my opinion would be: Start running with GPS enabled and after a few km's manually start the interval that you setup on forehand. If the interval training is ready the GPS wont stop until you manually stop your run. Edit: Yesterday i had the following interval training: 2 x 4 minutes sprint with 3 minutes rest 3 x 3 minutes sprint with 2 minutes rest 2 x 2 minutes sprint with 1 minute rest I found out that this could not be setup in the Ionic app as a exercise and the only thing you can setup is a basic interval with the move minutes and rest time and repeats. Any chance that this will be added? Looks to me as a simple thing :-). Moderator Edit: Added Labels

Could you please add walk feature to the versa under the exercise tab as not all of us can run,but would still be able to track a walking workout there.

scottdgibbard · ‎07-18-2018

There should be a rests feature for Fitbit. When you pause a workout (run, bike, walk, other workout), it should be labeled as a rest. In the app, you could see how long it was, the change in heart rate and maybe more. Moderator edit: Subject for clarity and labels.

GaelP · ‎07-17-2018

I'd like to be able to see on my tracker the number of minutes I've spent in each heart rate zone that day. It would be just like the Active Minutes display on Charge 2, but instead of showing active minutes it would show fat burn minutes, cardio minutes, and peak minutes. The user could choose which HR zones to show on the watch (for example I only care about cardio minutes, so I'd turn off the others). Moderator Edit: Title for Clarity/Added Labels

fitfoxe · ‎07-16-2018

I tried to manually record my distance on the dashboard and it would not accept .75 or 3/4 mile as valid numbers. This forced me to put down 1 mile when I only did .75 When I contacted support, I was told to do it in kilometers, but that is not my unit of measurement. Fitbit needs to address this and make it possible to manually record distance in parts of a mile. Moderator Edit: Added Labels

Please add more hourly labels to report on versa and dashboard to show hourly activity. With only the first and last hours labeled one needs to count to see which hours they missed Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label

WillST · ‎06-25-2018

Most all phone exercise apps, IE Endomondo Nike, Etc have an audible progress report customizable by the user. It gives time, distance, average pace and other options. I bought my ionic so I wouldn't have to carry my bulky phone. But I miss the audible option. Moderator edit: Clarified subject

ScottKilbo · ‎06-25-2018

Most of my non-running workouts don't involve steps. For instance I do a kickboxing/boxing workout pretty regularly and it counts steps based on my hand motions. If I work the speedbag for a few minutes, it adds up to a few hundred steps. As a result, I have to remove my watch when doing this workout and I don't get my heart rate recorded during this time. Ideally, this would be a setup option for all of the workouts, except maybe the workouts like Run and Hike or anything that has the option to use the GPS. I would like to be able to go into the setup for a workout on the watch, and turn off step counting. Moderator edit: Clarified subject and labels

TravelingGal · ‎06-21-2018

It would be great to have under settings for each of the exercise modes an option to have the heart rate monitor on or off. Since turning off the heart rate monitor is a battery saving option in settings, that is what I generally do since I'm not interested a resting heart rate. But I do want it on when I fire up one of the exercise modes, and if I forget to turn it back on in settings before I start an exercise, I have to stop the exercise and go back out to turn on heart rate to get better data. The versa is already fiddly with the music controls, so I before I exercise I have to pair Versa Classic with bluetooth, change output, toggle back and forth to get music controls, turn heart rate back on, THEN start the exercise. It would be nice to omit at least one of those steps! Moderator edit: Clarified subject

Tim.B. · ‎06-20-2018

The majority of my activity is not of the conventional "stepping" variety. I see that Fitbit is compatible with MyFitnessPal. If Fitbit can use my age, weight and height to calculate Calories burned based on my number of steps, it should be very easy to convert an imported activity Calories from MyFitnessPal to Step Equivalents in the Fitbit app to get a much more accurate idea of daily activity. So far I have tried skateboarding, rollerblading, cycling and Tai Chi and none of them have accurately been assessed by my Fitbit. This would also make it more viable for people like me to enter challenges. Moderator Edit: Added Labels

Julesdmc · ‎06-19-2018

I would love to see calories burned during exercise added to the calorie goal on the dashboard. For instance, I have a 1500 daily calorie goal but burned 420 during exercise today. I’ve logged 1560 calories for the day, so the dashboard icon is red and telling me I’m over even though technically, because of the exercise, I’m in the green by 340 calories. I can do the math, but it’s annoying to see the dashboard telling me I’m over when I know I’m not. It would be nice to see the 420 calories added to my goal on the dashboard.

mkmosley3993 · ‎06-09-2018

When I am out walking the charge 2 screen shows time (how long I have been doing the exercise) and distance (which I want), but I can't see what the current time is. The fitbit only shows the exercise activity time. The only options I have are to pause the activity (which still doesn't let me change the screen on the fitbit) or to end the activity, look at the time, and then restart my exercise activity (which breaks up my exercise and could prevent it from tracking properly towards weekly exercise goals). As of now, there's no way to quick view the time when you are in the exercise mode It would be really helpful. Because if I needed to finish an exercise by a certain time, then I need to be able to check the time. Moderator edit: Clarified subject

SunsetRunner · ‎06-06-2018

My daily fitness goal is total miles of distance for all activities I engage in -- walking, running, cycling, or running on a treadmill. Unfortunately, only steps are included in the distance goals tracked by the FitBit app and my Ionic, and only distance from steps is included in the total shown on the distance tile. I would like all activities' distance should be included in the total shown and in the determination of whether I've achieved my daily distance goal. If that's not the behavior that everyone wants, then at the very least it should be optional behavior that can be enabled for those who want it. Since FitBit supports neither this feature nor Google Fit integration, it's not a legit replacement for my old Pebble Time, which is what I bought it for.

Auroi33 · ‎06-06-2018

I would like to see the implementation of goal ranges for the following tracked activities: Steps, Distance, and Active Minutes. In short of a specific number entered to achieve on a daily basis, the user would enter a "between" range. For example. Right now someone may have the goal of 10,000 steps a day, which they may not always achieve. By allowing this person to say, "I would like to walk between 8,000 and 10,000 steps". It would give them something to keep them motivated if they happen to fall short, but have walked enough to log 8200 steps. A "Yay! you did good!" but tomorrow you can do better moment. The implementation of a range would allow the user to feel some accomplishment and keep them motivated should they not be able to meet their stated goal. Additionally this might encourage people to increase their goals as a way to challenge themselves. Moderator Edit: Added Labels

cm0011 · ‎06-05-2018

Many times, when I start an exercise my Versa or my Charge 2, it records my calories burned based on steps and heart rate. But many times I feel it gets them incorrect, but you're unable to change the calories for exercises that you started on your fitbit device. You have to delete the old log and add a new manual log to do that. It'd be nice to just be able to edit the calories without having to create a new manual log.

verhoeks · ‎06-05-2018

I would like to monitor the HR on the Ionic, and not always need to look into the App on the mobile phone, or PC. On my previous tracker (Garmin Vivoactive HR) Garmin had an kind of App that you could see the last 4 hours of the HR on the activity tracker. To me it should be simple to add this kind of App also to the Ionic. Looking forward to this feature. Best Joost Moderator Edit: Title for Clarity/Added Labels

jamesj47 · ‎06-02-2018

I am a new user to Fitbit Alta. Some of my exercises are not recorded correctly. This is expecially true regarding type of exercise. Sometimes I bike outdoors, but it shows up as Run or Walk. I would like to be able to log into Fitbit on my computer and make edits to the exercise to be closer to being corect in type, time or distance. To me this is a seriously annoying limitation to the Fitbit system. Moderator edit: Labels

Lesliemak · ‎06-02-2018

By setting the default minimum at 10 minutes and tracking heartbeat monitor after 3 minutes, I think you are leaving out the newest segment of our Fitbit Fam, seniors, who now count as the healthiest seniors in history as a group and the fastest growing healthy converts. If you could substantially reduce the default minimum settings for activity or, better yet, allow the user to select his or her own default settings then those of us who are not track stars can properly monitor a 3-minute jog or a 2 minute cardio spike etc. Thank you for your consideration.

LMK165 · ‎05-30-2018

Regarding the Exercise Swim function on the Ionic watch and mobile app. When "done" with a swim, the Ionic watch lists a partial summary of lap split times. Why, however, is this data only shown on the watch? It does not synchronize to the Android mobile app (Exercise Dashboard tile). The swim data displayed on the mobile app is broken down into four sections: splits, calories, impact, and lengths. The "splits" section displays "calories" for each distance cue instead of "time." Split "time" would be a much more useful metric to a swimmer than "calories." If the watch can display this data summary, why is the same data not shown in the mobile app "splits" section?

Meoh · ‎05-28-2018

I often lose step competitions because the exercise I do doesn’t generate a lot of steps. I exercise more but get less steps I.e boxing, weight lifting etc. It would be good to have a combo of steps and time exercised competition thanks Moderator Edition: Updated title for clarity and labels

LizFitbit · ‎05-23-2018

This suggestion is for the Fitbit mobile app to also adjust calories, distance, pace/speed and potentially GPS route if you retroactively adjust the start or end times of your logged exercise. I've created this suggestion based on feedback around this released feature to edit start/end times of exercise, which has been released for iOS users (vote on this feature suggestion for release on Android).

rslrsl · ‎05-21-2018

This is a great fitness tracker for steps and heart rate. Since most users will be wanting to use only one application for tracking fitness associated tasks, it would be nice to track the following manually: 1. Max pushups 2. Best run times; 5k, 10k, marathon 3. Max pullups 4. Longest plank 5. etc. If there was a way to create a fitness test for yourself where you could track your weekly or whenever best results, that would be great. It would also be great if we could plug-in a strength training routine with the contents of the workout itself rather than only the duration and estimated calories burned. People do different types of workouts on different days and looking back at the end of the month to see what you accomplished is a great feeling. The more detail the better. Maybe this already exists and my google skills are terrible? Thanks and this is a great product. I have both the Charge 2 and the Versa. Moderator edit: Labels.

DrKendra · ‎05-21-2018

The problem is simple: there are non-step count exercises that could all be swept up in a generic exercise shortcut. The activity could then be started/stopped on your device. It should have no step count and count no change in elevation. Just the basics: time and heart rate info. That way a lot of different exercises that so far Fitbit is ignoring could use the same feature. I want it for horseback riding, but I also saw a post with someone who was frustrated that spinning uses an accelerometer. This problem extends to many other exercises. This would create a fix for a massive segment of the Fitbit community. Why would the company not just do it??? (Apparently the people working on the AppleWatch have figured this out).

tttran12 · ‎05-20-2018

I suggest you add prayer walk as an exercise feature.

Babyc614 · ‎05-18-2018

The alta hr relies on autorecogntion of only a few exercises. As my main exercise is strength training, this is not picked up by the tracker. I would like to be able to see what calories were burnt and heart rate info for this period of time. If I manually log the exercise, the calories do not seem to be linked to the actual data recorded. Suggestion: amend the manual logging through the app so that I can record start and stop times for my workout manually and then the data recorded during those times is reflected in the workout I record through the app. All the app would need to do is isolate the data relevant to that period of time. Then I could easily compare the intensity of each of my workouts. Moderator edit: Labels and exercise

LizFitbit · ‎05-18-2018

Hi all, This is a fresh feature suggestion for you to be able to manually edit exercise duration in the mobile app (for example if you forgot to end an exercise) for Android users only. Please note this is released for iOS users whether manually logged exercise or recorded in SmartTrack/exercise mode. We want to get an accurate idea of how in demand this is for Android users. Thanks all!
