Add custom size in water consumption “Quick Add” field

[BennMcNally]

I like to keep track of my water intake using the “Water” tile on the dashboard of my app.

However the “quick add” quantities are 1 Glass, 1 Bottle and 1 Large Bottle. Unfortunately the container I drink from is 600ml - which doesn’t match any of the quick add sizes. 

I’d love to be able to create a custom “quick add” size so I can just tap that instead of having to type 600 every time I want to add my water intake.

Thank you for any consideration you give my suggestion.

Hi @BennMcNally, welcome to the community.

Have you tried using the water tile in the "Today" screen? This allows you to enter any value you want using a small number pad.

You can access the Today screen by swiping from the bottom up whilst on your clock face. Once on the today screen you might need to scroll to the bottom and tap setting to add (tick) water. Once you have done that you should now see a water tile in your today screen, just tap on it to add any amount of water you want.

Thanks for the reply N8te.

As I mentioned in my post - I am already adding it via the number pad in the water tile. 

What I want is to be able to customise the ‘Quick Add’ field. That way I can add my regularly used quantity of 600ml and then I only have to hit that button once, instead of having to go into the number pad every time and type 600 then hit save. 

I know it’s only a tiny time saver I’m requesting, but I think a lot of people would make good use of being able to customise their ‘Quick Add’

Hello @BennMcNally , it's good to see you around in the Community forums. Thank you for your inquiry. 

As @N8teGee  mentioned earlier, you can enter the desired amount of water directly from the "Today" screen on the Ionic's display (and it's possible to customize the amount and add it through a number pad). However, it could also be useful to add your regularly used quantity of 600ml just by pressing or tapping the button once, instead of having to go into the number pad. 

If you have a specific idea for this, it'd be great if you could post it in the Feature Suggestion board of the Community, since this section is constantly reviewed by the team of developers for possible implementations in the future. 

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks @DavideFitbit 

As I stated to  @N8teGee and as I also stated in my original post - I am already adding the 600ml using the number pad - I’ve been doing that since day one of owning a Fitbit. With all respect, it’s odd that you both thought I hadn’t found how to enter my own water quantities - did you think I’ve just been using the Quick Add the whole time? No... To clarify - What I am suggesting is to have the ability to customise the ‘Quick Add’ buttons (the buttons that say Cup, bottle, large bottle) - It would make it easier if I could replace one of those with my own custom option (I.e - 600ml bottle).

Excellent, thank you for the clarification @BennMcNally, it could certainly be a helpful implementation to customize the ‘Quick Add’ buttons. I do recommend that you post your idea as detailed as possible in this board, so we can add our votes.

It’s like they didn’t read your question.

What's more is, in the Fitbit mobile app (iOS version) when I enter my water consumption through Today screen, it shows how much I consumed accurately on Today screen only. When I tap and go to Water screen, it does NOT show my water consumption that I just logged for Today...

Incredible how support staff doesn't even bother to read either the top post or your replies... it's like they don't want to tell you: "It's currently not possible, so submit a feature request that won't ever be seen"

I've been directed from Google Search to this site when I was looking for customizing the bottle sizes in the FitBit app. The text of the hyperlink on Google says: "Solved: Add custom size in water consumption “Quick Add” field". Can you please change it? This issue is SO NOT SOLVED!!!!

Same thing just happened to me
