I just posted this feature request.  I would appreciate it if you would consider voting for it.

I know others agree, but let me explain why I do not.

From your explanation in the suggestion, it sounds like you want to use this as an aid in reaching your daily step goal.  But the "reminder to move" is for a different purpose.  Its purpose is to prevent long periods of sitting, which are also a health risk in addition to not enough daily activity.  Its purpose is to help you remember to get up and walk around for at least a few minutes every hour.  Even if you reach your daily step goal in the first 2 hours of your day, sitting still for the rest of the day would still be a separate health risk.

It sounds like what you want would be a totally different reminder based on your daily step goal and the time left in the day.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

That's fine but my suggestion wouldn't prevent anyone from using it as it exists today. That could even be the default.
