Ability to customize the stats/apps on Inspire series

There are several functions that I do not need or want and there is currently no way to turn them off. I would normally just ignore them but my FitBit has this annoying habit of just randomly switching to something it thinks I want, when I have done nothing. It's as bad as driving a car and when you stop at a light, the car decides you want to park so it opens the door for you. I want to control my screen, what it shows, and when it shows it. Currently I can do none of this.

Hi Fitbit!

Please update this for us. I use my hourly step goal much more than my heart rate. But every time I want to see or use my hourly step goal I have to scroll forever... and if the hour changes I am then autoscrolled to the top. Please update us! And add this feature which is standard on other models! Thanks!

I do not wish to track water and weight, and while I can remove those tiles from the Fitbit app, I can't remove them from the tracker itself. It would be nice if users could have that ability, for those like me who do not want to track those options.

I just replaced my Alta with a new Inspire and am so disheartened to see I can no longer select the stats I want displayed. Who wants to look at their weight regularly? Ugh. I don’t need my watch to tell me that, and I don’t want anyone else to see it. Also, I don’t track my menstrual cycle in this app, so the dates are inaccurate, but I need it to show me how many days until my period starts? 
I’m going to go try to delete all my data from these two sections of the app, but I doubt that will help the problem. Please let us choose what’s displayed on our wrist and let us go to the app for the rest of it!!

I would like to be able to delete some features (on the mobile app) of my Fitbit Inspire. All I want on my Fitbit is steps and active minutes, and I especially don't want it to track sleep.

Add me to the list. I didn't buy my Inspire HR to see calories, exercise, or many of the other available features. The lack of ability to customize my screen to see only what I care about is why I've told friends not to bother with this one. If I'd known beforehand that I'd have to scroll and scroll every time I want to see how close I am to my hourly goal, I would have bought a different tracker. Couldn't you at least move the hourly goal to the top?

This really needs to be done! My most important stats are Steps, Heart Rate (current), Active Hours (especially if I haven't yet reached the 250) and Active Minutes, in that order. While I like Miles, I don't look at that regularly, unless I am in Walk mode on Exercise. I definitely don't need Calories, and Resting Heart Rate on my Tracker (I will check the app when I want to see those), and it is a pain to scroll through those 3 when I just want to see if I've done my steps for the hour before sitting down at a meeting where getting up in the middle to finish my hour's steps would be distracting to others. Too often, scrolling through, the screen goes black before I get to it. I've had Alta, Alta HR, and Charge 3, which all allowed me to change order of icons.

I've only had the Inspire HR active for a few hours, but it is so annoying that if I can get my brand new Charge 3 to connect to my app (my old Charge 3 has a display issue making many more pixels be "on" than should be, and is now very difficult to read some screens, but the new one needed to update during the connection phase, and disconnected, and now the app only connects to the old one, even if it's at the other end of the house), I'll be returning this or giving it away. I've purchased 5 Fitbits for myself, counting this Inspire HR and the newer Charge 3, plus 2 for family members, but right now, I'm really disappointed in the product.

The clock face should have more options to allow the daily stats to each have their own display screen and tapping the screen will change to the next stat. It would also be extremely beneficial to be able to add the battery level as a clock face stat to easily tell when the fitbit needs to be charged.

I would like to be able to change the order of icons I see on the Inspire HR. Every hour I get a reminder re 250 steps for that hour, but to check it each time, I have to scroll past 4 - 6 icons to see it. I find it amazing that this is not a standard feature.

My fitness goal is ‘active minutes,’ and I have to swipe 6x’s to check my status on this goal. I’d like the ability to re-order the screens on my Fitbit Inspire HR.

I know this has been suggested, by over 1000 different people. You've removed an incredibly basic feature that exists on hardware you're no longer offering on your official store page.
I just got the "Inspire" and found this lack of feature to be incredibly UNinspiring, so how about you get off your butts and START planning to include it again.

I would like to be able to change the order of the swipe screen, so Exercise is before Notifications and Steps and Activities are after the clock. Similar function to changing the order of exercises.

Many have requested the ability to customize which tiles are shown on the device. Everyone has different health needs, keeping the priorities easily available to help us meet our goals should be your 1st priority. Eliminating an unneeded category, should remove the tile as well & all should be optional. Health is personal, help us make it easier.

Allow users the ability to customize the daily stats on their wearable device. One swipe for steps, next swipe for sleep, etc. Currently I have to swipe about 10 times to get to my sleep data, which is time consuming and annoying. "Today" screen is customizable on the connected iPhone, but not on the Fitbit itself.

It would be extremely useful to be able to re-order and remove the pages shown when scrolling up and down on the Inspire 2, in the same way that the Exercise Shortcuts can be edited. E.g. the "Active Zone Minutes", "Steps", "Calories" etc. screens shown when scrolling up.
