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

I also am hearing impaired I hear hearing aids I do not sleep with them on so I was relying on my Charge 101 to wake me in the morning never a problem but because of the band issues with it my wife got me a Charge 2 for christmas . what a joke compare to the original charge It doesn't wake me up at all.

FYI
I found when I bought a new band that had a stiff strap to it I could feel it much better. I bought this one but I warn you it took a month for a strong leather chemical smell to go away. I do like the band though.

Yes, the Charge 2 and Blaze vibration is a night and day difference from the Charge HR. I was surprised how faint the vibration on the Blaze was. Went through a few replacements, never fixed the other issues I was having along with the vibration.

Update: I tried setting about four alarms in a row one right after another as someone had suggested and it seems to be working. Also pulled the strap a little tighter. It's softer than what the charger 101 was but now it seems to be waking me up.

Agree with everything said on this thread.
My charger HR woke me every time with the vibration alarm.
Have just changed to Alta HR & the vibration is useless......so quiet it's ridiculous to call it an alarm.
No one here seems to have any answers......over to you Fitbit.

My HR 2 was by far a better vibration silent reminder. I did quite a bit of research & Fitbit is what I needed. I didn’t want a computer on my wrist, I just wanted a fitness watch that does what it says. Other then the vibration I love my Blaze.. Hopefully Fitbit will listen to the consumer and fix this issue. However I will not hold my breat since the Blaze came out in 2016 & the vibration issue remains the same.

I hope this becomes something you are able to fix, or provide a replacement. I just gave up my Garmin VivoSmart and don't want to be sorry that I did.

Might want to go back. FitBit has no intention of fixing this.

Started wearing mine charger 2 one notch tighter and set 3 alarms in a row so far It's been waking me up. It's more of a buzzing rather than an actual shake but I feel it on my wrist

That would work for an alarm, but I'm looking for phone call and text notifications - I can't set it to go off 3 times in a row.

I am not trusting it, it does not work for me - I am returning it.
