I have a Garmin cycle computer which I use to record my rides, these automatically get synced to Strava. I also have a Pixel Watch 2 and have enabled Strava Fitbit integration so that the rides will also appear in the Fitbit app and web. Trouble is that the integration only brings across to Fitbit the elapsed time (duration) rather moving time. So my average might be shown in Fitbit as 20 km/hr when in fact it was 30 km/hr as I had a coffee stop part way thru the ride, and paused the ride and resumed it after the coffee stop . Can this be fixed so that moving time is sent from Strava to Fitbit. My Garmin and Strava are correct but the  Fitbit app ( and web) incorrectly show the ride data.

@Davidc00 Fitbit doesn't know a concept of "moving time". The same problem appears for swimming. Pace is based on elapsed time not moving time. It's one of "take it or leave it" things as that I'm almost certain won't change.

Thanks, that's a little annoying. Guess I'll have to live with it.
