Versa Firmware Update Wishlist

Just a wishlist in case some Fitbit engineers are reading..

 

1. Notifications missing: Just have them work in general, all the time! Android seems buggier than iOS. Some are saying they don't get any, in my case I have always connected and keep active widget on and it seems to stop after a while, unless I re-sync...it will work then stop again. My Pebble never had this issue, and since Fitbit bought Pebble I don't think it is too much to ask. 

 

2. Notification dismissal: Being able to dismiss notifications from the watch, which would also dismiss them on the phone, why do I want to dismiss notifications in two places? Again Pebble has this feature.

 

3. Screen on: Don't send notifications to the Versa when the phone's screen is active, or have the option to turn them off if the screen is on, yes from Pebble too. 

 

4. Screen on wrist raise: Mine needs a good flick of the wrist, would be nice to adjust sensitivity.

 

Obviously most have to do with notifications, since that is the main point of any smartwatch. Also some of those features won't be able to work on iOS as they lock down notification interaction (except for the Apple watch). So Fitibit probably made a barebones Android app since they are probably targeting prospective Apple Watch users first and foremost.

Maybe we should make this a sticky and people can add to the wishlist? Not a bad idea.

I own a Pebble round, Fossil Q Venture, and MK access sofie. ALL of them instantly sinc notification dismissal between phone and watch. If I swipe away or reply to a text, it is instantly dismissed on my phone or watch...whichever I'm not touching. This is the MAIN REASON most people buy a smartwatch! I liked the look of the versa, but returned it upon realizing this problem. If they ever fix it, I might buy one again.

Really? I would love to see video of this actually working. I haven't seen a single other post that they've fixed this.

Fixed it for me too.  I can dismiss, Mark as Read, or Reply.  All are reflected on my phone.  Also, Screen On doesn't send text to my phone IF I am currently texting with that individual who just texted me.
