Water reminder on Charge 6

[Dehydrated-Guy]

Hi all, this is for Charge 6 only, not interested in any other model.

I googled a lot but could not find what I was looking for, so I'm trying my luck in this forum. I'd like to get a reliable water reminder on my Charge 6. I installed on my Galaxy S23 the free version of the "Hydro Coach" app, that can pair with Charge 6 and send reminders to drink water. The problem is that it is very temperamental, and more often than not, it doesn't work, so I'd like to ask the community if anyone has a reliable way of getting reminders to DRINK WATER on the Fitbit Charge 6, it can be a paid app or addon, as long as it works I'm fine with that!

Thank you so much for your help, and I'm pretty sure there are others waiting for this kind of support.

At this time, I'm not aware of an option to add a drink reminder.

Hi @Dehydrated-Guy  there really isn't a way, but you could make it work by using the silent alarm. You can set up to 8 alarms per day, so you use them to remind you at specific times to get some water. Another way I'm thinking of would be to send yourself a text. My Samsung Galaxy 8 lets me schedule times for a text to arrive and if sent to yourself, it could tell you to drink. Might either of those ways help you? It's good you're keeping track of your intake.

Thanks @Odyssey13 for taking time writing down your suggestions. Although that could work as a reminder to drink water, I was looking for something more 'native' or less 'hacky', like an addon I could install, or an Android app that could send reminders to my tracker.

As you all pointed out, there's no native way of doing this, which is a shame given that the Charge 6 users would benefit from this - so here goes my suggestion for the developers: can you please, add a 'drink reminder' feature to the Fitbit Charge 6 tracker? or at least, consider the idea?

Thank you all for your help.

@Dehydrated-Guy   Fitbit used to have some Health & Wellness reminders on the app that included a drink water reminder.  They were removed some time ago.  Please vote for and leave a comment on this request in the Product Feedback forum.  The Product Feedback forum is monitored by the developers and is the best way to make or support a feature request.

Hi @LZeeW , thanks for the tip. I voted and left a comment. Just wondering why did they remove it in first place? Anyway, let's hope it leads somewhere, thanks
