How to Turn Off Bluetooth on Inspire HR?

[HuddlePapa]

Is there a way to turn off the Inspire HR watch internal Bluetooth? If not, I would love to see this added in a later update! Is it possible to put in a request for this added capability? I think this would give it an even better battery life as I only Sync with my phone at certain times (to save phone battery) and the watch seems to continuously keep its Bluetooth on. It would be a simple add to the Quick Settings screen below Notifications and just tap to turn on when I need it and tap again to turn off when I don't need it to save battery and reduce potential interference issues.

It's not possible to turn off bluetooth at the moment.

There is a feature suggestion for this which you might like to vote for. You can find it at https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Ability-to-disable-Bluetooth-in-restricted-areas...

Note, though, the comment from fitbit that they don't currently have any plans to implement this change.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have added my vote for this feature. With nearly 1000 votes and tons of comments do you know why Fitbit wouldn’t consider implementing this change in the next update?

I've no way of knowing fitbit's thoughts on this but they have no obligation to accept our feature suggestions. Perhaps they just don't want to.

This is really too bad. It just tipped my buying decision to the Garmin Vivosmart 4, which does have the ability to disable bluetooth.
