Hi there @K-got. Welcome to the Community! 🙂

Currently, the "Reminders to Move" feature is only available for the Fitbit Alta, however, Fitbit Blaze does have an option for keeping track of your hourly step goal. Hopefully Reminders To Move for Blaze will be added in the future as @Rich_Laue said so it would be very appreciated if you could vote for the feature request. You may see it by clicking here.

Anythine else, I'm here to help!

I have been reading that Fitbit blaze is going to have get up and move update for months. Is there any updated information?

Hi there @Kjones1969. Good to see you in the Fitbit Community! 🙂

I'm not really sure what you mean with "update for months". Currently, we don't have any information on the release date for this but it's for sure being worked on and hopefully we can see it implemented soon!

Thanks for participating in the Community!

Oh I was just reading other comments, just miss that. Had the Alta

I think the "remind me to move" would be a great feature and I was disappointed that this was not included as an alarm setting on my Blaze.  The current alarm feature is disappointing in that all it does is remind me to go to bed (isn't this supposed to be a fitness watch?  Sleep is not the only component to fitness).  I would also like to see similar alarms like "remind me to drink water" or "remind me to eat" if I haven't done either every 2-3 hours or if I've forgotten to log it.  Please consider adding these simple programmable alarms to a Blaze update ASAP.  Thank you.

@SunsetRunner I'm not sure how long you have been with fitbit. Here are some suggestions, off the top of my head, that where requested and implemented.

• Quick  view
• Multiple tracker a on a single account
• Auto sleep detection
• Stop watch and countdown timer
• The request to have the tracker turn on with the last screen viewed, now dislicked but was a feature very much wanted. 
• Seconds added to a face on the Charge and HR
• Auto detection of exercises
• The ability to turn the alarm off/on on the tracker
• Auto stride calculation, currently limited to Blaze and connected GPS in run tracking mode. 
• interchangable bands in future trackers, Alta and Blaze. 

If iI do a little bit of research in sure I'll find more.

Here are 20+ pages discussing this issue, don't expect it to happen.....but at the same time, don't buy something with the expectation that something will be "added to it" in the future.

Since 2013 and I'm in agreement, Fitbit product management marches to its own beat.

My own personal opinion is that the feature request forum is a great way to make frustrated folks feel better. Something bugging you? Go vote for it. I wish moderators and others would please stop saying 'the more votes, the more likely it will be implemented' as a) its not a democracy, b) the top vote getters languish for months or years, c) highest vote count is 3149 (iOS HealthKit) and nothing has been done in the 2+ years its been receiving votes, and d) second highest vote count is for Idle Alert, that request was made in December 2013 back when Flex and Force were the top models. Now we see the Idle Alert is marked "Implemented" even though it only exists on Alta which starting shipping 2+ years after people starting voting for the feature. If Fitbit were being on the up-and-up, Idle Alert wouldn't be marked Implemented until it was available on Zip, One, and Flex - the trackers shipping when the Idle Alert feature request was originally posted.

[Rich_Laue]

The zip would first need to be remanufactured so that an alarm may be added.

Don't wait for it, it won't be implented.

Really sucks that they keep up with this charade. It only makes Fitbit look unprofessional.

Hi everyone! Good to see you around!

When it comes to the way feature requests are chosen to be implemented, there's several factors that the developers need to look before releasing a new feature which can take quite a while. That's why some features might be there in the feature request board for a while before they get implemented.

As @Rich_Laue said, not all features can be implemented in ALL trackers because of their hardware capabilities. That's why Fitbit has come up with new trackers that implement new features that otherwise, it would be impossible to add to older trackers.

Thank you all for your feedback about this.

[SunsetRunner]

Sounds like some new stuff coming out this year then!

[FerdinandFitbit]

Can't say much but Fitbit will be giving some surprises soon! 😄

Good to see you around @SunsetRunner!

Hints are nice, but actions are the only thing that matter.

To be honest, your track record is quite dented. I would like to believe your words. But you must understand that from our position, it's not possible. We—the users—have been lied to repeatedly, and many are very disappointed. I do of course wish for an update, but at the same time, I don't have my hopes up. I don't want to be betrayed and let down again.

@Pruttinyllet Hey, see the post I made over here. 🙂
