Sleep mode / DND mode

[Overdrive38]

When I activate sleep mode or dnd mode charge 5 does not vibrate even though I have activated the always vibrate option.

What is the purpose of that option if it does not vibrate always?

Everything else works fine, except vibrations on this modes.

Any thougts on this?

Where did you find "always vibrate" option?

In the Fitbit app -> charge 5 -> notifications.. Picture

I had never noticed that setting before.

That "always vibrate" setting looks like it refers to the phone sending the vibration signal to the tracker, even when the phone is in DND mode.  But despite the phone sending the signal, the Fitbit settings such as DND and sleep mode will override that.  I guess the reason that option is there could be if you have the phone set to silent or dnd so you won't be interrupted by a loud ringer, but you still might want the vibration on your wrist.

If you are in a meeting, you might want phone on silent or DND, but still want wrist to vibrate, but if sleeping, might not even want wrist vibration.

Does that make sense?

I see, and yes I aggree now, because it does send vibration to band when phone is on silent. Thanks!
