There is a closed request that you can still vote for in product feedback but I find it WORSE that there is a default alarm reminder to "wake up". Maybe just Inspire3 but how would I know? Seriously,  I think MANY ppl use alarms as reminders. I use it to make sure I take important medications at the proper time.

An alarm without a name is like tying a string on your finger and then forgetting why.  Or like Neville getting a Remembrall that turns red and he doesn't know why.

C'mon man! Seems like a simple fix. And in the meantime, STOP telling me to wake up PLEASE.

Hi, @Feetonground, welcome, an alternative that works is to set a calendar event with time and ensure you've set up the notification in your Fitbit app. From the today screen touch your icon in the top left corner>Inspire 3>notifications>calendar events>ensure the slider is on and the calendar is selected.

How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device? provides advice & guidance.

 

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Haha Grandpa. Sounds like you agree the alarm feature is useless. Furthermore, it sounds like if I have a smartphone, then there is no need for the Fitbit. I'll take that under advisement. Maybe your calendar is not already jampacked with actual appointments so this works for you. 

Look, I'm not looking for a workaround; it would just be nice if Fitbit took requests seriously and provided useful features. That's all.
