Is there any way to know how many Kms I did when I was playing football?

 

While the activity is running in the watch I can see how many Kms I have at the moment, but as soon as the activity end the data disappear.

 

In the dashboard (both web and app) I can see how many steps, calories, etc, but no distance.

 

Fitbit has the information because in the daily dashboard I can see the total kms (including distance I did playing football).

 

Hope someone can help me.

@GianThurber it depends. What type of activity do you use for tracking (what do you select in the Exercise app)? It may be that the one just doesn't have distance as a final metric when viewing afterwards.

 

Edit: I think I understand. You you track Sport you can see distance on the watch but afterwards it's nowhere to be found. That is true. Probably another weird decision by Fitbit. Use different type of activity that does include distance. I believe good old Run should still work without GPS and provide distance.
