Fitbit Screen Lock for non Special Edition Versa versions

I would like it if we had the option of Fitbit Lock even if you don't have a special edition because I don't want people scrolling through my notifications or my apps and messing with my settings or even a factory reset (if someone stole it-yikes it's theirs now!) or any of that sort. I saw on the manual and a Fitbit article that there is an option to enable it if you don't have a special edition but that doesn't exist on my Versa. I was really looking forward to it!

That’s an interesting idea and could be useful, thanks for sharing this suggestion.

When I had a Garmin tracker it had a auto lock feature that had an easy way to unlock the screen (button push for a set amount of time). 

 

Please add this auto lock feature because my shower head water pressure is able to activate programs on my Versa when I am in the shower - I need it as a watch while I'm in the shower.... That and auto lock would keep annoying family members/people from getting access to my fitbit and changing settings on me.

I would love this feature! Between the shower and my 15 mos old daughter messing with the display... I really need this!

I think that you should be able to add a code to The Fitbit Versa’s without Fitbit pay built in I hate when people get on my watch and start playing games. Also while I am away I don’t like people look at my watch. Also just privacy if you have notes on you watch or apps that have barcodes for cards. This isn’t likely but could happen some one could grab your watch and look at you messages while you phone is in your pocket. I don’t think I should have to play extra money for Fitbit pay if I don’t even have any cards to put on there just to get the code feature
