Water Intake Reminder for Charge 2

[lubov.glover]

I was wondering, is there a way to set up a reminder to drink water besides the regular alarm? I already have the alarm going as other reminders, and will be confusing what is the reminder for (since I can't give the alarm a name).

also, if I am eating a home made stew or other casseroles prepared by me... How do I know how many Oz of food and how many calories I'm getting? I love the Barcode option but I seldom eat/drink store bought stuff and I can't figure out how to log my food.

thank you for your help

A warm welcome to the Fitbit Community @lubov.glover! At this moment there is not any option, but using an alarm is wonderful workaround. I think your suggestion is an excellent idea and I would like to encourage you submit it as a suggested idea, where members of the Community can comment and vote for it so it can be implemented in a future update, this is the best way to make your voice heard. 

Actually, I found a suggestion that you might like to check: 

Water reminder

Hope you find this useful, have a lovely day!

Hi I was reading on some of questions for a water reminder for the fitbit app and I haven't seen any recent updates for this function so I was just curious is to why y'all haven't added this function to the app yet?

Thanks for checking our Feature Suggestions board. Implementing enhancements to Fitbit trackers and services take time. It takes time as our devs and engineers have to be double sure that this will properly work. Lots of trial an error on their end to make sure they deliver the best improvements for our wonderful customers!  I appreciate your patience and understanding about it!

Thanks for your understanding.

You can set up to eight alarms on the Fitbit Charge 2, so I set one for every two hours from 7am - 9pm everyday. Now I just have to drink a certain amount by the time the alarm goes off and start over or chug every two hours lol. I do wish you could name the alarms, though.

Having you in the Forums is really a great pleasure @alisonfersure! Indeed, all of us here are very happy to have you. 

I loved your idea, but you're right it'd be better with names! I invite you to vote and comment this request thought: Water reminder (it has a great number of votes now). The more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. Let's keep our finger crossed.

Thanks for posting and I hope to see you chatting around enjoying the Forums!

I see tons of requests for this kind of feature going all the way to 2014.

I wished there was an option. We usually forget drinking water. It's not that we can't

It's 2019 April. Any updates? Are you guys working on it? 

[sirserg]

lol no, adding a water intake reminder which is no more than a labelled alarm with some sort of simple water graphic takes FitBit 5 years to implement!
