Title: Fitbit adds automatic exercise tracking for Surge and Charge HR Post by: HCK on November 25, 2015, 03:00:15 am Fitbit adds automatic exercise tracking for Surge and Charge HR
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Fitbit Charge HR and Surge users no longer need to worry about whether they’ve remembered to log a workout beforehand.</p><p>With a new software update, both fitness wearables can record exercises automatically. The so-called SmartTrack feature can discern some specific activities such as biking, running, and the elliptical without any input. Other activities are filed into broader categories such as sports (covering basketball and tennis, for instance) and aerobics (for cardio-kickboxing, Zumba, and dance classes).</p><p>Users can set up SmartTrack through Fitbit’s companion app, defining the type of activities they want to track automatically, and how much active time it should take before Fitbit starts counting. By default, Fitbit triggers exercise mode after 15 minutes.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3007801/gadgets/fitbit-adds-automatic-exercise-tracking-for-surge-and-charge-hr.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Fitbit adds automatic exercise tracking for Surge and Charge HR (http://www.macworld.com/article/3007801/gadgets/fitbit-adds-automatic-exercise-tracking-for-surge-and-charge-hr.html#tk.rss_all) |
