This is my second message relating to the very annoying vibrations from my Inspire 3. I have followed the instructions in the response from the previous post and have turned off every setting that I can find. See list below.
But I am still getting vibrations that show an icon like a sergeants stripes and then it says "Well Done". I do not want this. How can I turn this off?
On the Inspire 3 turned off -
Heart Zone Notifications
AZM Notifications
DND Mode (on)
On the application turned off -
Notifications
Calls
Text Messages
Calendar Events
Emails
Application Notifications

Hi @Seeser, thanks for stopping by, I hope you're doing well.
Let me help you with the constant vibration you are getting on your Inspire 3. I appreciate all the troubleshooting you have already tried.
The sergeants stripes like icon, i suspect you are referring to active zone minutes. However, if you have already turned off this and you are still getting the vibration let's check your daily goals. See How do I track my health and fitness goals with Fitbit?
If you get the vibrations constantly during the day maybe those are related to the reminders to move. See What are the reminders I see on my Fitbit device?
If none of the above helps you get rid of this constant vibration, please share a picture of the sergeant strips like icon in order to investigate further.

Thank you for your response. I had already turned off the active zone minutes, but what I did find is that I had set some of the goals with low thresholds. I could not find a way to turn them off or delete them, so I set then really high so that they could not be accomplished. Hopefully that will stop the "reward" vibrations.
To provide some feedback to Fitbit - It is a shame that I had to work so hard to stop unwanted vibrations/notifications on my Fitbit device. To further compound the frustrations, could not delete the goals once they were set. I would have to assume that people buy Fitbit devices for many different reasons. Of course I had particular reasons to make my recent purchase. I am retired, after 50-years of being on-call in IT, and do not want constant intrusions during my day. It has taken me a week to get them stopped. Maybe younger folks want this type of interchange. Bottom line is there should be one central place to turn off all notifications.
Thanks again for your assistance.
