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

I really wish this would be released already, I'm not sure what is taking so long for this simple function to be added! 9/10 times i dont feel my activity alert going off to get my steps.

II I agree, vibration/buzz too weak on my Fitbit charge 2.

Same with the Charge 2. Do not purchase if you expect the alarm vibration to wake you up. I have to go back to my alarm clock now and live with a wife that is not happy with that solution!!!! My original charge worked great but there appear to be 10 pages of complaints about this 'new' feature on the Charge 2.

Hi I am hard of hearing and loved my Charge and the alarm. It literally fell apart and I just bought the Charge 2. No way will the alarm wake me up. I was awake before my alarm went off today and I barely felt the vibration. I am going to return it and try to find a Charge on eBay or somewhere.

Does it have a strong vibrating alarm? I’m hard of hearing and that would be the most important feature for me. My Charge alarm was perfect.

Hello TinaHL - I had two Charge Fitbits prior to upgrading to the Charge 2 and the vibration is very weak. Two friends also have the Charge 2 and are experiencing the same issue. I use the hourly reminders and occasionally set an alarm and about the only time I fell it is if is very quiet and I am not active. Very disappointing and apparently many others are having the same issue.
Can someone from Fitbit please comment on whether or not an improved (stronger) vibration is being considered? My wife is considering an Alta, but is now looking at a Garmin model as she too would like the stronger vibration. Thank you.

Hey Amatta, could you mention what Garmin model they're considering?
I just purchased a Fitbit Charge 2 and the vibration is so weak it can't wake me up. That's the PRIMARY reason for my purchase. I NEED A SILENT ALARM. I thought I bought one. The Charge 2 Alarm can only be snoozed *once* for 9 minutes [the only snooze option].
I'd love to get a silent alarm, but from what I read Fitbit seems to have gotten out of the business.

Looked at the Garmin Vivosmart HR & GPS, but ended up with the Alta due to the style.

I just got my Blaze and found the alarm is hardly able to be felt, but after the 4 vibrations it goes off, never got time to see if it had a option for snooze. I understand that it will go for 9 minutes longer, but what is really need is to have it to continue to vibrate until you put it to snooze or wake up. PLEASE fix this, all it would be is a software upgrade, easy peezie.

It's not getting fixed. There was a feature suggestion for this same thing. The issue was marked solved. The solution was there was no fix coming and to "upgrade" to the most expensive FitBit. Which has no better silent notifications than the Blaze.

When I hit 10,000 steps, or get 9 out of 9 straight hours with 250 steps, the vibration is always noticeable (and exciting, right?!! I need a life). So it seems like the vibration function has different settings already on the Blaze. It's the hourly prompt that I often miss (and then I miss that exciting 9 out of 9 buzz!!!)
Please fix this FitBit!

I am a fan of Fitbit but I received the Blaze for Christmas and am very disappointed. The reason I asked for this one was so that I could get notifications for text, calls, calendar alerts etc. the vibration is so week I can’t feel it. So sadly if there is no fix it will be returned.

Just return it while you can. We're quickly coming up to two years since the release of the Blaze and this has been a request since the beginning.
