The vibration for calls and texts is rather weak. Sure would like to be able to strengthen it. Any way?

No there is no fix.   Fitbit is well aware of the problem and continues to ignore it.    It's infuriating.  I've contacted them directly and they failed to respond to my concerns.

Best Answer
No it has not been fixed.

I do hope that being able to adjust the vibration level on the Blaze is something that can be done in the future.

I just bought my blaze today and gave charge HR to a friend. I can't feel a vibration on the Blaze. Very disappointed. Considering returning and getting Apple Watch.

Was this issue ever fixed?  My HR woke me no problem but my charge2 is so weak I miss almost every alarm or alert.

I've stopped wearing mine. I've gone back to the Surge which has a useful
alarm

Solved? Really?

Whilst I like the device I have just recently retuned to fit bit with the Charge HR 2 after using the MS Band and a Garmin Forerunner 235, The silent alarm was one of the key reasons I came back.  I am actually quite disappointed in this, and very disappointed with the device itself as a whole, Fitbit as taken a great basic product tried to jazz it up and come back with a inferior device.

I bought a few days ago. The unit during setup applied the newest firmware version. Still, with the newest firmware update the vibration is easily missed. If you hold the watch in your hand, it vibrates strongly, but not on your wrist.

 

You're right. Fitbit has found no way of fixing it and that makes the watch virtually useless for many people.

I just got my Alta HR and am very disappointed with the vibration. I had a charge and it was stronger. I don't even notice the Alta HR notifications unless I'm watching my device. Just wanted to pass along the issue. My daughter-in-law told me she feels the same way about her Alta HR & her old Alta. Thanks.

I just replaced my Microsoft Band with the Charge 2.  I barely feel the notifications or alarms.

I have been wearing my band along with my Charge to bed so the alarm on the band will wake me up and throughout the morning so I can use the timer while getting ready for work.

Also, not too happy with the length of time the alarm vibrates before turning off.  Snooze is a fantastic function.

My Blaze seems to change its mind about notifications.  

I've turned it on and off loads of times

Hello EmersonFitbit - any status on possibly upgrading the vibration on the silent alarms?  I just downloaded the latest firmware and there is no change to strength of vibration.  As many mentioned, earlier versions of the Charge are much stronger than the Charge 2.  Thanks!

The Blaze is worthless until they fix the vibration issue.
