Is there a list of the activities that you can track with the FitBit sense anywhere?  "20 different activities" ins't enough of a description for my to hit that buy button.

 

I currently have a FitBit Versa (the original) and a competitor's tracker.  The main thing I like about the "other" tracker has a much longer list of activities compared to FitBit. I do find FitBit's step count and heart rate to be more accurate though.

See Which workouts can I track in the Exercise app on my Fitbit device? 

Or you can see then right on your Versa.  Scroll right to 'Exercise'; tap, and scroll down and tap 'More' to see all.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

I would also like to know can it count reps of pushups, pullups... things like that? My husbands garmin does this and its a nice feature to have.

Fitbit does not do that.

Thanks so much. That looks like the same activities my Versa tracks. I was hoping the new Fitbit’s would have additional options.

 

I use an indoor rowing machine daily - that’s the activity I’m waiting for. Several other trackers have that in their list.

The Exercise Shortcut List options for the Exercise App are the same for all Fitbit trackers.  For rowing, I use "Workout" as suggested for workout types not listed.  But the exercise type chosen really makes little difference.  I see it has having 2 purposes;  (1) as a historical record to help you remember what you did each day,  (2) it somewhat affects which stats are displayed in the workout summary.  But I don't think it makes any difference in calorie burn or in daily totals.

I do the exact same thing...or I have used "interval" if I'm doing an HIIT "class".  I like on my Garmin that it shows my stroke rate, but the Fitbit is much more accurate when it comes to Heart Rate which is probably the most important measurement.
