How to set alarms on Charge 2?

[utuzoo]

New device.  I cannot locate how to set an alarm.  Does this device have that function?  I had the Charge HR in the past, and it had this function.

From the phone dashboard, click the + in the blue circle.  Choose Set Alarm.

How you doing @utuzoo? Thanks for joining this family, hope you like what find here! Thanks for the great help @JohnnyRow! 

Congrats on your new device!   As @JohnnyRow mentioned you can set new alarms from the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the + icon > Set Alarm > Set a New Alarm. If you're using a computer check the steps here. Remember to sync your Charge 2 after you've finished settings alarms.

In case that you need more information about your new Charge 2 here you will find the manual.

Have a happy day!

I went to the manual & it told me to go to help????  My screen says "silent" alarms.  What if I want sound?

[JohnnyRow]

@nannyroo238   "Silent" alarms are the only alarms available.

Hi @nannyroo238, welcome aboard new buddy! Thanks for jumping in @JohnnyRow. 

Thanks for posting your inquiry here. Are you having issues with your alarms? As our good friend @JohnnyRow mentioned, we don't have alarms with sound.

I also found this suggestion that you might be interested in: Alarm Sound for Use in Emergency. If it is not specifically what you're asking for, feel free to post your own suggestion in our Feature Suggestions board where our developers can check what our Fitbitters need and take this in consideration for the next updates for future products. 

See you around.

Help!  Trying to set an alarm on my Charge 2.  Folks have said to go to the "+" sign on the app.  I don't even see a "+" sign on the app & cannot find how to do it directly on the device?  TIA for your help!

[JohnnyRow]

@Dwheaton  For the Charge 2, alarm has to set from the app, not on the tracker itself.

Which app are you using: Android, iPhone, Windows 10 app?

On Android phone and I expect on iPhone,  on the app main dashboard when viewing the top, there is a blue circle with a white + in it near bottom right of screen.

See How do I set an alarm on my Fitbit device?

Thank you SO much! I had been looking at the top rather than the bottom!
Thx again!!

I am struggling, here.

I pick up my android phone and try the fitbit app. I cannot see how to set an alarm.

So I go to www.fitbit.com and log in. There is no "+" but there is a gear-wheel at the top right (So far to the right that it is hard to find).

I press the plus-in-a-circle. Now I get a screen with:

"Food Activities Weight Sleep"

I giving up and going for breakfast instead. Hope one of you guys can help!

You need to use the app to set up alarms for the Charge 2 but this thread is dated before the latest app design started to roll out. If you are on the old app design and there is a "+" on the dashboard then that's where you find the alarms. But, if you have no "+" then you may be on the new app, in which case:

On the main "today" tab of the dashboard, select your profile image at the top left of the screen, then select your fitbit. You will then be on the device settings where you'll find the alarms

Thank you!

Yes, click "Silent Alarms" after clicking "Charge 2" on your profile page.

Fitbit staff: please update this post to reflect the new mobile app!

[SunsetRunner]

Thank you. That is a relief! It seems to work.

[lovenlogicmom]

Thank you!  I rely on my Fitbit for my alarm and updated the app....could not find it to save my life.  Would have thought it would have been on the dashboard.  Thank you for helping me find it!:-)

[SunsetRunner]

It is not obvious, is it? I'll find out if it works properly tomorrow morning!

Hi @SunsetRunner @medelste and @SteveH thanks a million for sharing how to add silent alarms on Charge 2 after the latest update for the Fitbit app. Welcome @lovenlogicmom nice to see you here.

I'll be more than glad to update the thread with the most recent information on how to add or edit a silent alarm:

1. Open the the Fitbit app dashboard, tap on "Account" > Tap on Charge 2 > Set Alarm > Set a New Alarm.
2. Select the alarm time and frequency, and save. 
3. Sync your Fitbit Charge 2

If you're using the Fitbit.com Dashboard you can check the steps here.

I was also making some research and was able to find this idea:
