Timer while on Workout mode

[mlgsilva]

Will the Sense model allow you to set a timer while in workout mode? I currently have a Versa and if there's a need to do a timed cardio activity or something similar when on a weightlifting workout, there's no way besides keeping an eye on the watch, which is not great if you actually need to use your arms..... So I always have to keep my phone around for that. Would be great to be able to leave the workout screen and use the other apps, like timer and music control.

Not sure if other models already have this.

@mlgsilva Hello! The timer is a separate app and across all Fitbit devices, you’re not able to switch between apps. I even tried setting the Timer as the long press shortcut for the left button and I got a warning that said opening Timer would end my workout (see screenshot). 

However, you can control music with the workout screen performing in the background. Just not other apps.

@mlgsilva Have you checked out the interval workouts?  

There is a section where you can adjust the time.  

The default setting is 30 seconds rest and 10 seconds rest and repeat 14x.  

To adjust these times:

-Go to exercise

-Interval workout

-Scroll up from bottom ( there's an up arrow)

-Select interval 

+to add - you can also adjust this is be an always on display during the workout.
