The recent 2.0 OS update changed the functions of the physical buttons of the music controller to be volume up/down instead of skip/pause as they were before.
I realize lots of folks might want volume controls to be what they use the buttons for, but I rarely need to change the volume of the music I'm playing. I mostly want to be to skip forward (to the next song) or back to the previous song. The Pebble Time Steel had the music controls down perfectly. Top right: skip back, middle: pause/play, bottom right: skip forward.
The thing I want to do is be able to press a button--without having to look at my watch--to skip, pause/play, skip back. Not having to look at my watch is what made the Pebble so useful.
It would be nice if the function of the physical buttons was user-selectable to match their usage.

It's great to see you around @RJFB. Thank you so much for posting your comments. Fitbit is always trying to improve the features that are implemented on trackers. I was checking the Feature Suggestion board and I found this idea Customise buttons Ionic, you may want to vote for it as they are reviewed by our engineers and developers.
Thanks for voting!

Customizable buttons to get to the apps I want would be a great feature.
In this case, what I would like is for the physical buttons while in the music controls to be assignable, so that I could assign them to skip/pause/play instead of volume.
Basically, I'm far more likely to want to skip/pause/play/skip back than I'd want to change the volume. Especially where I'm in a scenario where I don't want to have to look at my watch to perform the action.
Thank you for pointing me at the other feature suggestion, I did vote for it. Not quite the same as I'm asking for here.
