Floors Climbed - Intensity Minutes - HR New Features in Garmin Connect are Not an Option For Fenix 3 Data Tracking- Will this option be added in the near future for those of us who are Loyal Fenix 3 users and lovers. Just bought my wife the new Vivosmart HR Activity with Optical HR and built in atmospheric Barometer that links and enables the device to along with the accelerometer to track flights of stairs climbed and number of "Intensity Minutes" and 24hr HR tracking. Wondering since the Fenix 3 has these features already resident in the hardware and sensor array profile of the device (except the Optical HR Sensor Option unless paired with additional separate ANT+ Optical HR device) if there will soon be firmware or software updated on the back end that will allow Fenix 3 user to track these metrics from an activity tracker standpoint like with the new VivoSmart HR Activity with Optical HR similar to how they fixed the need for Manually activating Sleep Tracking on the Fenix 3. I know that the Fenix 3 is accessing the barometer for Storm alert, and constant real time readings as well as historical tracking on the watch itself as well as elevation changes and vertical climbs/descents based on both the GPS and the Barometer so this may be redundant and certainly not necessary when I am tracking a hike or trail run or bike ride but from an activity tracker stand point the daily "Floors Climbed" would be a nice additional metric to have as well as possibly the 'Intensity mins" and HR if you were to wear an additional separate optical HR sensor that would track data in the activity tracker mode without having to actually initiate a "activity" session.
