How many alarms will it support?

I'm looking for a watch to remind my daughter to take potty breaks.  I'd rather it not look like a toilet and mom and dad are pretty vested in the fitbit architecture ( 2 charge2's and an aria). Is this going to have the abilty to set multiple alarms?

@U2ssuck - like @SteveH mentions Ace will support alarms like our other trackers (except for Zip) all trackers can set up to 8 alarms. As @Julia_G mentions it will be a slight buzz, no label currently, but a feature suggestion is a great place to make this idea heard.

I can't find an answer to that in any of the current documentation and the manual hasn't been released yet. There is mention in the marketing documents that the Ace does support alarms but doesn't say how many. Given that every other fitbit that supports alarms supports up to 8 I would say that's a reasonable assumption.

Hi @U2ssuck, it looks like the new Ace is based on the Alta, so I agree with @SteveH that it is likely that alarms will be available (it may be that you as parent will need to set them in the app).  If it works like most Fitbit alarms, unfortunately there won't be a label, so although your daughter may get an alarm, I am guessing (at least at launch stage) it won't be a buzz that adds: Time for Potty!

 

But I think that is a great idea!  Especially important for kids to have alarm labels.  Assuming your child can read, you might want to vote for this feature request.

Just adding in to what @KateFitbit mentioned, at least in the other trackers, you can have the alarms go off on the same day. So in theory, you could have up to eight alarms go off in a day for her.
