I’ve updated the app (and my phone-an iPhone) multiple times over the past few months and CANNOT find where to set vibrate alarms through the app itself—I can suddenly (as of a few months ago) only do it through the watch itself (Fitbit charge 3). 

it USED to be that I would open the app, click the top left icon (my photo) and then select my device (charge 3) an the option to set an alarm was there. Well, it hasn’t been for months, I’ve searched the app countless times and have consulted google AND this forum on multiple occasions and there have been NO answers.

 

I don’t WANT to be forced to set an alarm through my smart watch itself, I set all other alarms via my iPhone (11) and don’t want the inconvenience of having to use my actual Fitbit to set one.

As you have discovered, alarms for Charge 3 must now be set on the watch, not in the app.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Oof, I was really hoping I just couldn’t find it. It just seems goofy to make setting alarms harder/less accessible than easier/more accessible.

@Brookeeellis Welcome to the Fitbit Community!

 

Thank you for your feedback regarding the new alarms . As @JohnnyRow mentioned this option was changed from the app to the tracker itself but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exists so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it. 

 

Let me know how it goes.

Well, except for the fact that this topic, with 466 upvotes, has been set to "Status: Not currently planned" and the thread locked.
