It is fairly to common to explore a device by following a tutorial. Hopefully in the previous post I gave a good basic summary of how you can interact with the Fitbit without having to dive into the details of all of the possible options. By understanding the basics of interactions and the general rules around these interactions, you should be able to explore the device on your own.

Less common would be to understand a device by tracking what every single option does. The last Fitbit that I had was simple. You tap once to see how many dots there are. You can tap twice to cancel a notification (it vibrates based on certain notifications). That’s basically it. You can understand the action and result at once. I wanted to know – what would it look like to track EVERY (or almost every) action and the result with the new Fitbit. I also had to consider how to show this. I attempted below to create a somewhat interactive diagram that demonstrates some of the functionality (there was too much to track all of it).

The following diagram shows some of the functionality of the Fitbit. (Hover over image to activate options and zoom in). Starting at the HOME screen you can see how different interactions bring you to different screens. The complexity of the diagram highlights how extensive the navigation options are.

Reminder, the actions are:

Press – the back button
Swipe – up/down/left/right
Tap – icon/scroll

The diagram above was made using draw.io and is hosted in my Google Drive. It could be set up to be ‘shared’ so that others could extend the diagram by tracking further navigation.
