How to turn off the "Daily Goal Progress" notification?

[YSu]

Hi, 

Is there a way to turn of the notification for daily goal? It's kind of a waste of battery to me.

Thanks!

In what way is it terrible? 

Have you thought about letting the developers know your opinion by adding a suggestion to the feature request board? 

No one else has thought of this yet.

In what way is not setting your goals accurately because you don’t randomly want your watch to start buzzing while you sleep kind of annoying?

 I didn’t think that really needed to be explained.

 I would like accurate goals set in the program.

 I would like to not randomly be woken up.

 The fact that i have to trick my watch instead of just turning that’s “feature” off is terrible.

 Whenever I am interested, i can check my goal progress. I know how. 

 Thank you for the suggestion box link though, I didn’t know it’s it existed and suggested this “feature”.

My primary goal is set high enough that they don't get hit until after I wake up. 

If I haven't hit my goal before going to bed I have never reached the goal once asleep. .

You could set the goal high enough that it is unreachable .

That’s what I do now, but it’s silly.

Why not just give me the ability to turn that feature off if I don’t want it?

Something as intrusive as a vibrating watch should come with the ability to stop it vibrating when I don’t want it to, without having to trick it into thinking I’m not meeting my goals, wouldn’t you agree?

The reason it used to vibrate was because my primary goal was burning calories and I work split shifts so I sleep in the afternoon.

You’re right, I tricked it by setting my primary goal to flights of stairs and set it for 100 flights, but that is just such an **ahem**-backwards way of doing it, when the software should have a “daily goal notification - on / off” setting.”

Hello,

I have the same problem, but for me the notification and fireworks typically occur when I'm about to fall asleep. It wakes me up. So, are you saying I have to set my goal higher? There is no way of turning this "end of day" notification off? If this is the solution, is Fitbit considering this on other models?

@mpacer Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well! As you said this can't be turned off but you can vote for the idea in our Feature suggestions board. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it. Additionally you can change your goal to floors or calories or increase your step gaol so you don't get the notification at the end of the day.

Let me know how it goes!

I want to turn off vibration on goals alert!

Don't think it would be such a great effort implementing this feature!

Please remember that we are in the Fitbit user community and the best that your fellow Fitbit users will be able to do is give a workaround. Yes putting in an of switch might be easy, but since it might not be something your fellow Fitbit user will be able to do for you. 

I hope you all have added your vote to the suggestion @AlvaroFitbit pointed to above.

It is one of my biggest hates about fitbit. I love having my concentration at work broken by a stupid vibration to tell me to go have a walk.

[Julia_G]

@Fedupwithnonsen , the vibration telling you to go take a walk is something you can definitely turn off!  It’s called Reminders to Move.  Many people like this feature that suggests taking at least 250 steps every hour, but if you don’t want to receive these reminders, on your app click on your Fitbit tracker icon and find “Reminders to Move” on the next screen.  You can set the hours when you receive these reminders, or turn them off altogether.

I hope this helps.  Welcome to the forums!

Several times these notifications have almost caused me to crash my bike. Please make a way to disable these! It is a serious safety issue to be distracted when we are moving.

[Mike10012]

It is not clear in the app how to adjust the target. I only see a setting for what it recognizes as an activity.

[ulan-yisaev]

Perhaps already irrelevant, but for my Charge 5 I enabled "Do not disturb" and disabled "AZM notifications".
