How do you set a silent alarm in Fitbit on the Pixel? I don't see the option on the fitbit webpage or app. I had a fitbit that broke in February so it has been awhile since I have done it.
Also, when I open fitbit today on the watch, I see different options like steps, floors, distance, calories. How do I remove some of these options? These aren't tiles because I don't see the floors option.
Thanks,
Karen

Hi, @Roses1007 welcome, this video at 1:56 demonstrates the process of having a vibration alarm only. You may have to go into the Watch app & turn off "Sync across watch & phone" if the watch is silenced but the phone sounds off.
I don't think you can change these cards. I've tried deleting "Floors" from my App Today screen & syncing the watch but Floors remain in the display. I'm relatively new to the PW, perhaps another community member can advise.
Cheers

Thanks for the quick response. However, this is the way that I've been doing it - on the watch itself. There used to be a way to do it within the app, but I guess that they've removed it.
So since I have to set it on the watch, is there any way to REMOVE the STUPID REMINDER that I get 30 minutes before the alarm goes off? Again this isn't on the phone, it's on the watch. I'm trying to use this as an alarm clock since my husband is retired, but I don't want to be awakened 30 minutes early!! Plus ironically, the beep is enough to wake me up 30 minutes early, but not always loud enough to wake me on time (my trick is to set the alarm 30 minutes later).
Finally, any other suggestions to improve battery life? My first week, it would last about 38ish hours, so I changed settings to improve life. Now, I'm having to charge every ~24 hours and I haven't made any changes. Location is off and so is touch to wake. I've reduced the screen time. I have not changed tilt to wake, but that has been on since the beginning.
Is there anyway to turn off the music controls? I play music on my phone when I'm working and I know that drains the life (again, was doing this the first week).
I really don't like this watch.

Spent time with someone on chat. He basically told me everything that I've already tried, plus things that wouldn't help at all. He was able to help with the reminder for the alarm settings, sound, alarm sound (but it can't be muted)- it is better.
I've realized that the recently added appointments with reminders is draining battery life. I will be changing. But the tech started to just repeat what's posted on the site about battery life.
