Change hourly step goal

[pookieee1]

I enjoy my fitbit  telling me my steps, but can I increase the numbers from 250+  to higher hourly number.

Unfortunately, you cannot change the hourly number of steps. The Fitbit app keeps it at this number, and it isn't able to be changed at all. The number of hours, like when you want the reminders to walk, can indeed be changed, but the number of steps per hour cannot.

Fitbit needs to change that.  I would find it easier to meet my daily goals if I were able to break them up evenly during the day, and an hourly reminder would be extremely helpful with that.

This is one of the things I hate about Fitbit.   It lacks the flexibility to allow me to set my own goals per hour.   250 steps is nothing...

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @rgonvsh. Thank you for your feedback. 

We do not currently have plans to release this feature. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. For now, you can vote for the Suggestion: Increase or customize hourly activity goal from 250 steps/hour.

Have a nice day.

That does suck because I’m on my feet in my shop and for safety reasons I can’t always walk away from a piece of machinery and leave it unattended. Wish they could change it.
