Last week, Fitbit announced two new updates. The first was SmartTrack, an automatic exercise recognition system and the second was Exercise Goals, a new service on the Fitbit app. In addition to these two new features, Fitbit also enhanced its real-time heart rate tracker.
SmartTrack was introduced to two of Fitbit’s devices, the Fitbit Charge HR and the Fitbit Surge. This new service automatically recognizes a wide range of exercises based on your movement and records them in the Fitbit app. This service is aimed at giving users credit for these particularly active exercises and allowing them to more accurately see their athletic progress.
