How do I see the time on Sense during exercise?

[mxalex]

I've already searched and found no solution for this problem, so this post is meant as constructive criticism in the hopes that Fitbit will choose to resolve these issues in an update, or in the next generation of watches.

When the Fitbit Sense is in exercise mode, you can't see what time it is. This is kind of a big problem because it IS a Smart WATCH. So while I'm exercising, the only way to check what time it is is to turn on the screen and then scroll all the way to the bottom.

My other criticism is that the timer function only allows you to set up a timer for no more than 1 hour and 39 minutes. Seems like it should be able to set a longer timer than that!

You can set the Sense to show time of day during workout.  After selecting the workout type, swipe up from the small arrow at bottom of screen to see more options.  Under 'Show Stats" you get to select which stat(s) to show at top, middle, and bottom screen.  One of the options is "Time of Day".

Hi @mxalex. Welcome on board.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thorough feedback about the Sense. If you haven't done so, please follow the steps described by @JohnnyRow to select the stats that you want to see during your exercise tracking.

In regards to your other question, I understand how helpful it'd be to set a longer timer on your watch and I'm sorry for this inconvenience. While this isn't yet possible, I'd recommend voting for this request which was already posted in the Feature Suggestions board. The more votes an idea receives, the better chance it has of getting the attention of the developers.

But what if you would like time to always display at the top? And then maybe you want distance and heart rate? Can't have all 3 showing at once?

Just how I explained in my first post in this thread, how you can select your choices for 3 positions in the display.

Not meaning to be rude, just don't know how to explain it any better than I did above.

I tried that and it wouldn't do that. Would not let me keep my choices

Hello. I have a Sense 2 and can't see a way of customising the stats I'd like to see during exercise. I have followed your steps, but there is no option for 'show stats'. I too, would like to be able to see the time when running. Any clues?

All's good. I've sussed it out 🙂
