Set alarms on Charge 3

[traveler81]

How do I set the alarms on the charge 3?

In a way it does, sort of. If you scroll down after the alarm is set ie 8
am alarm on, it gives you 2 options. Smart wake and repeats. You can choose
"every day and it will repeat on a particular day. You then scroll down
further and it lists the days you want it to repeat by tapping.

Hello @kober7. Welcome to the community forums! @Clubmeder It's nice to see you around and thanks for your input! 

@jmiles Glad to hear that the instructions provided by @Clubmeder, helped. @kober7 I also noticed that some instructions for your situation were provided and I hope those can help.  

On a side note, @jmiles If you weren't able to open the manual of the Charge 3 device, please try to find it in this link. 

See you around.

 It's not there any more. Where has it gone? I can set an alarm directly on the device but can't see any repeat info there. My issue is I set an alarm for 6.20 on Friday 2 weeks ago, then it went off the following Thursday and again today (Tuesday). I'd like to stop this randomness but can't see how to. Maybe I should ask a separate question for this specific matter, but wanted to point out the silent alarms setting has moved/gone.

I think I can walk you through it. Wake up your Fitbit and swipe your
finger across the screen horizontally until you see "Alarms" and select
that by tapping it. On mine, I have to swipe left-to-right three times to
get the Alarm settings.

Once there, you can tap any of the ones you want to change. Tapping the
numbers lets you change the hour and minutes. You can (should) scroll down,
too, because the option to set them to repeat is there. It can be on or
off. The entire alarm can be turned on or off, and lastly at the bottom,
you'll see "Delete". That's the one I think you to find the most.

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks

After I posted I did think to just delete the 6.20 one as you described.
Fingers crossed no more random alarms. Although, if you switch it on once,
don't select any repeats, it really shouldn't go off more than once.

[Clubmeder]

So, go to where you want to set the alarm to repeat. Hit the + sign. Set
alarm for the time you want. Hit alarm on. Scroll up (there's a little
inverted v or arrow at the bottom of the screen).
Next you'll see "smart wake" I hardly ever use this. Keep scrolling and
you'll see "repeats" It starts with Sunday and you can turn on or leave
off. Keep scrolling and more days of the week appear with a choice of on or
off.

To delete any other alarms, tap the alarm you don't want, scroll up as far
as you can go and you'll see a garbage can. Tap it, then hit the check mark.

Hope this helps.

[Nikki_B1010]

Thanks.

I checked before deleting and repeats were off for that alarm. I hadn't
set any repeats when I first set it as I only wanted it once. There
doesn't seem to be a setting "for tomorrow, next Thursday and the following
Tuesday" though, which is how it went off😁
There are many random things with fitbit. Like how do not disturb turns on
by itself (so reminders to remove stop), how the fitness score has
disappeared, how my tracker syncs without any device showing in blue tooth
on my phone.

Hello @Nikki_B1010. It's great to see you around. @Clubmeder Nice to see you around and thanks for your great input. 

@Nikki_B1010 I was able to see that you received assistance for the alarms on the previous posts. If you still have questions about how to manage alarms, please check here. 

On a side note, your Charge 3 should not turn DND mode by itself unless the button is pressed and you swipe left on your tracker to access certain settings. If DND is turned on by itself, I'd recommend restarting your tracker by following the instructions here. 

For the syncing process, if your Charge 3 doesn't appear as connected to your phone's Bluetooth, it should actually not sync. For more information about syncing, I recommend checking here: How do Fitbit devices sync their data? 

For cardio fitness score, check: What is my cardio fitness score?

Also, if you require further assistance, you can contact our Support Team through chat or over the phone. Note that phone wait times have been longer than normal, so I recommend initiating a chat. Click here to get connected. 

Hope this helps.

I'm having the Do Not Disturb setting turning on randomly also. Like twice in the last 2 weeks. I believe that it has to do with my work which is pretty physical (nursery for plants). Like moving, dragging, lifting stuff a lot that can sometimes make the Charge being pressed by random because of that. It's not felt like a big problem though, simply set DND setting off when that happens.

[Nikki_B1010]

Thanks for contacting me. My understanding is the only way to switch it
on/off is when it's on the charger, so it's weird how it switches on by
itself. And annoying that you can't switch it off on your wrist.

Thank you for contacting me.

Yeah I realise all those things shouldn't happen but they do 🤷🏻‍:female_sign: and
I've found ways to work around it, which have been quicker/easier than
trying to perform some of the guides from fitbit

Thanks for responding.
I'm not having those problems but maybe the last person I answered may.

Hello @jfe. Nice to see you around. @Nikki_B1010, @Clubmeder Thank you for your reply. 

@jfe Thank you for the detailed information. Sometimes contact with water can behave as a button press or wear long sleeves might unintentionally press the button. Nevertheless, if you continue experiencing this inconvenience it might be worthy that you let our Support Team know about it. Note that you can contact them through chat or over the phone, but phone wait times have been longer than normal, so I recommend initiating a chat. 

@Nikki_B1010 I also appreciate your input and thanks for letting me know that you have found a workaround for the inconvenience that your Charge 3 experiences. If you still need further assistance, take into consideration that you can also get in touch with our Support Team and they will be glad to provide assistance and look a prompt resolution. 

@Clubmeder Thank you so much for your reply. Your help and input are very appreciated. 

See you around. 

[Clubmeder]

Thanks Wilson. Really appreciate the feedback!

@Clubmeder Thank you for your reply. 

It's been a pleasure. If you have any different inquiry or question in the future, please post them in a new thread. 

See you around.

I can set the alarm. But how do you stop it when it activates. The only option seems to be snooze....I want to know how t turn it off once it gives me the alarm.

[jfe]

Press the button on the Charge 3 @hcavezrey to turn off the alarm.

[Clubmeder]

I usually squeeze both sides of the Fit bit to stop the alarm
Then go to alarms, by swiping left, and tapping the alarm you've set, turn
off. If you will not be using it in the immediate future, swipe up till
you see repeats off then the garbage can. Tap the can, then the check mark
to delete.

[Nikki_B1010]

On a Charge 3 simply squeeze the sides of the tracker in the same way you
do to activate the display.

Anything current for 2021? Pretty sure it’s not in the app as much as I look
