How to see average sleep hours and not sleep score

[MarkFletch]

Does anyone know how can I  get the average sleep Hours back where it was I find the fitbit sleep score totally  useless. I had 5 hours 40 min sleep got a sleep score of 82 rated good "what the ?" How could that possibly be a good nights sleep!!!.  I just want to know my average hours for the week back where it was instead of the useless sleep score.

I can't stand these stupid arbitrary sleep scores!!!

I'm currently in my third trimester of pregnancy, and use my Fitbit to help track my sleep. The last few weeks I have been difficult for sleep because of pregnancy insomnia, and having hip and back pain while sleeping. 

One night I finally had a *great* night sleep of 7 hours and 15 min (I try to get 7 hours), with minimal and very short wake ups, and zero pain. This ridiculous sleep score gave me a 69. 

BRING BACK SLEEP HOUR AVERAGES AT A GLANCE.

Sleep score is totally worthless - means nothing - I can have a night of 5 hours of sleep, which is terrible for me regardless, and another night of 7 hours of sleep - but FitBit scores both nights of sleep as the same "sleep score"!  No, that's ridiculous!  Give me back sleep hours/minutes, and lose the sleep score!

I'm sorry, they won't listen to us!

Goodbye Fitbit community, I'm glad that I'm not the only one that has these frustrations with Fitbit (amongst other issues that Fitbit won't solve like needing to restart my watch in order to clear out messages that have been sent to it).

Have switched over to a competitor's product and I couldn't be happier as it does exactly what I want it to do!

We are all heading that way.
They simply won't listen to us.
Ignorant company!

I’m so sorry we no longer get what worked for us. I can appreciate your need, with being pregnant. Congratulations on that!! I have been challenged with (ah … maybe ‘old age’?) insomnia for about 5 years, necessitating daily naps, thereby losing productive time to get things done. It’s been a total nightmare. I am recently getting a good handle on the insomnia, and do so wish FitBit would revert to hours, as I have relied heavily on it.

Blessings,

If they don't fix this, after ten years of niggling stupid stuff with the app and trackers (changing chargers EVERY SINGLE TIME, anyone ???), my family will vote with our dollars to replace four fitbits with some other brand . We're Android . Any ideas for us? I'm tired of this crap. 

[Linjo]

I found tons of devices. Just go on the net and look for devices to track whatever it is you want your device to do. They’ve gone down a lot in price too. I paid over $200 for my Alta HR, and have found devices that do what I want for a lot less. A word of caution. When I checked out a Samsung for about $70, I phoned to ensure it can be read outside. Yes, it could.

Blessings,
Lin

Here's a decent comparison of some of the fitness trackers out there:

How do you do this

[LostEchoes]

@Mefive , @Vindo 
Hey there.
What exactly has changed / been added with the latest version of the app ?

[Linjo]

No idea. It wasn’t me who posted. I did an update and the whole thing looks different. I really liked it better before, but we can’t stop them from constantly changing things.

The average weekly hours of sleep is back in its old spot. If you click on today's sleep on your dashboard, you can see this week's average, and when you scroll down on the same page, you can see the previous weeks'. So you're able to compare the history of your average hours per week at a glance. The complaint that they had removed that capability is what started this thread in the first place. (Android phone, Flex 2)

Not working for me and I just updated this morning.

[lifebmad]

@Vindo - I don't think this is true.  I tried the latest version and it does not have weekly averages for each week.  Are you sure you're on the latest version?

I personally had to revert to version 3.2 to get this functionality back.

[Vindo]

@lifebmad All I know is I still have my app set to auto-update, and suddenly as of yesterday the old missing feature is back. It says I'm now on Version: 3.7 (20243436). It might have something to do with what kind of Fitbit device you have, and whether it has heart rate monitoring. Mine does not (the Flex 2). 

Maybe I'd better turn off auto-update now! 

[Budnjessie]

I had it for about a day....no longer. Can't figure out what game fitbit is
playing.

[Vindo]

@Budnjessie It was probably a programming error then, lol. I've turned off auto-update. Hopefully it won't disappear again on my phone. We'll see.....
