I purchased the HR2 as soon as it came out specifically for the new notification features - the buzz reminder 10 minutes before the end of the hour and the steps-to-go tally. Brilliant! With my Charge HR I had been setting hourly alarms and tracking steps manually.

 

However, I'm noticing that on several days a week one of the notifications will just randomly fail to go off. Frustrating. Anyone else notice this? Is there a fix? I'd hate to have gone to all this trouble just to have to go back to manual alarms as a backup. Thanks!

@mobaltz  Are you sure you haven't met the 250 steps per hour on the times it didn't remind you?  If you have already walked 250 steps or more, it will not notify you.

It's failing to buzz me when I still have steps to make.

I thought I was the only one! It is very frustrating when I try my best to get in my 250+ steps every hour, but my Fitbit doesn't always buzz to remind me that I haven't hit it yet. Most of the time when I don't hit my 250 in an hour, it is because the dang thing failed to buzz to remind me!
