Do Outlook notifications and alarms show immediatly?

[hollond35]

Hi,

I am considering an Inspire 3 or Charge 6, (i've never own a band or smart watch before) . I like the idea of a simple fitness band (don't need a smart watch) but the alarm and notification feature is something i'm particularly interested in.

My question to owners and Outlook users (i use Outlook on an iphone) is:

When Outlook sends the notification of an upcoming appointment, does the name and time of the appointment show immediatly on the fitbit?

I mean: can i just glance at the screen, when it activates, and see what the notification is for, or do i always need to interact with the screen somehow?

I was unable to find any images or videos where this is clearly shown.

Also, how is the vibration on the notifications? This, combined with being able see the contents of the alert at a glance is the deal maker or break for me. (Because reasons)

Cheers.

@hollond35 , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

 iOS users need to connect Outlook with the native mail app of your iPhone. 
You'll have the option to select what is going to be synchronized and shown on the tracker. 

The Charge 6 and the Inspire 3 have very different screens. Depending on it and the length of the message, you might see a part of the message (first lines) or the whole message. 

I personally find the strength of the vibration very good, but have read from other users that they wish to have it a bit stronger. 

Hoping this helps you on your decision .
