I am starting out exercising a little at a time. Right now, the lowest minutes for auto exercise is ten minutes. I walk in 5 minutes intervals at my desk multiple times throughout the day and it never counts it. Please lower the auto exercise time to 5 minutes and above instead of 10 minutes and above.

Please add a Body Battery feature like the one on Garmin. Just license it like they do. Measuring stress an energy levels is more important than Active Minutes if you ask me. Cool to get in shape for sure, but actually staying healthy is sooo awesome.

Chosen automatic lap setting should stick. The automatic lap setting on my versa defaults to three miles. I prefer my runs to have a 0.5 lap setting and every time I go to start a run I have to manually change the lap setting from 3.0 mi to 0.5 miles. The setting should stick once I make my preference

You changed how the fitbit determine active minutes and Heart Rate Zones. The majority of the population will operate well at the standard zones, especially older people. Many conditions affect older people making these new zones very dangerous. Option to use standards or set your own doctor recommended zones should be included.

The heart rate during exercise is lagging behind vthe reality extremely. I had a medical checkup with the heart rate going up to 190 and the sense recorded 166. It is often reported that the heart rate measurement is quite good over long times, but not for short times. Intervalls etc. are not accurately measureable.

Fitbit sense offers a "6 day plus" battery life, but not if you actually use it for any exercise with the GPS on. Some of your other trackers offer the ability to use the phone's GPS. This feature is needed on the sense as well. I used the sense for a 4 hour hike and a 3 hour bike ride, and it absolutely crushed the battery. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label

There is no way to get a vibration cue during exercise for the mile markers, etc. on the Sense. The Ionic was able to buzz to let you know when you had hit 1/2 mile, mile, etc. The Sense is only enabled with voice cues which is not always practical. Extremely disappointing.

Being able to edit more of the workout details such as duration/end time would be incredibly helpful. This functionality is not that difficult to implement into your system, and it would make a LOT of your end users happier with your product. Moderator edit: Clarified subject and updated label

To me, the biggest difference between walking and hiking, is the weight I carry... On a walk, I usually don't take a lot with me. But on a hike I always carry a bigger backpack (sometimes camping equipment) or my Kid in a carrier.

It's great to use the AHA's reccomendations. But fitbit didnt do it right! The AHA's recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week is only for aerobic activity (e.g., running, walking, biking). This means that any anaerobic activity (e.g., weight lifting) DOES NOT count towards that. It needs to be changed to reflect this!

While exercising outside, wind speed and direction (especially if you’re running against the wind) has a huge physiological impact on your overall workout. I think it would be great if there was an option to input the wind speed and direction when you exercise so you get a more accurate reflection in your calories.

The Outdoor Workout exercise shortcut was released with the Charge 4. It wasn't added to the exercise shortcuts with the Ionic/Versa family firmware update. It is only available on the Charge 4. It is shortsighted to leave this off the Ionic/Versa family. Moderator edit: Clarified subject

I like the new choice of "Outdoor Workout" on the Charge 4. With the regular workout option, GPS is not functional but I like being able to go back and choose the specific activity in the map with the Edit Option at the top. The Outdoor Workout does not offer the edit option to be able to choose other activities like kayaking.

Allow users to revert back to active minutes or be able to customise zone minutes. Preset goals are too high and unreachable for some. For those with health conditions or on medication, pushing themselves enough to increase their pulse to the higher fat burn zone can be either impossible to do or extremely dangerous.

Hi Your intervals features are very poor (there was a previous suggestion which you classified as existing feature which it is not!) 1. intervals require a warm up first - this is not possible to programme atm 2. intervals currently only track CALS - this is literally the most pointless measure. Please offer heart rate, pace or anything not cals

It would be awesome to have the interval workout combined with the data you get from the run workout. That way fitbit would still buzz at your intervals but it would record the workout as a run and show data by the mile instead of showing calories burned in each interval.

The GPS indicator only shows when looking for GPS connection and when it connects/disconnects - it would be great if the GPS indicator could be continuous be visible so we can check GPS is actually connected. Specifically using the Charge 4 built-in GPS there is no other indicator GPS is actually working during the exercise.

Please include a data field for real time active minutes, an essential metric you took away to replace with Active Zone Minutes or be able to choose which I want to see. I had to return my Charge 4 because it was missing this info. I just need a field that tells me how many total real minutes in a day I spent in active heart range. I cannot use active zone minutes in the same way.

My Alta HR is mistakenly tracking active minutes (when I'm sitting at my desk, etc.) We should be able to edit/delete active minutes and I would like to see this feature offered as soon as possible so my device quits recording false activities.

Charge 3/4 exercises need to support the ability to manually trigger a lap or round. I realize screen real estate is minimal on the Charge platform, but surely there is some way to accommodate both the pause button and a manual lap trigger button. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject
