Alarm vibration

[MJP11]

I use the alarm occasionally on my Fitbit ionic. I could have sworn it vibrated until you hit snooze or turned it off. I set it this morning and I didn’t wake up to the alarm. I then tried to set it for a new time to see and it only vibrates about 3-4 times before the screen just stays lit up which is worthless. I have only used the alarm a few times since I have had it. I also wore my ionic in the pool for the first time so I am not sure if the function was affected or if the alarm just doesn’t work as well as my old surge. Can I change the vibration duration so it doesn’t turn off until I stop the alarm? Is my Fitbit ionic malfunctioning?

No, your Ionic is functioning correctly. It only vibrates for a short time. If you dont turn it off though, it will repeat in 9 minutes. You can change the vibration strength if that helps you to feel it (Settngs App on the watch). I find mine very effective, but I guess differsnt people need different strengths of wake up alarms.

I think with the most recent update the alarm finally does just keep buzzing until you dismiss it. Hopefully they keep this feature.

I'm pretty sure it should keep vibrating until you hit snooze. Mine has recently malfunctioned and no vibration is felt at all on any strength
