It would be great to be able to set mulpitple goals and get a buzz when you hit different steps 5k, 10k, and 15k!

Hi Guys

 

Hoping this one would be easy to implement as it would be extremely helpful,

 

I would like to be able to set 3 step goals (and obviously be able to change them to suit):

 

1. 10,000 steps - my minimum per day and also the step count needed for Steptember comp

2. 15,000 steps - my current personal goal and stopping point if I’m having a busy or tired day

3. 20,000 steps - my ultimate goal each day - once I reach this anything extra is a bonus

 

To be notified by the buzz rather than having to check the fitbit every 10 mins would be so much easier 🙂

 

Thanks for your consideration 🙂

Hi @cuddlykoala, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us about having multiple goals throughout the day, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is not currently planned. 

 

Keep sharing your ideas with us.

Right now I get a celebration at 12,000 step which I don’t want to change but I would like to get a bonus celebration at 15,000 steps and the ability above that to set recurring celebrations at every 1,000

3,000

or 5,000 steps above that configurable by me

that way I may push myself one day to reach the next goal or two but not every day

It would be nice if you would get a rainbow or fireworks display when you reach 25,000 steps in a day like you get when you reach 10,000 steps in a day.

Yes bring on second goal!

Right now we set up a single goal - steps, heart-rate, calories, etc. Health is meant to be multi-dimensional, so it would be great to see multiple goals available through Fitbit. When we select goals, we should be allowed to set up more than one goal - either the same type with different goal levels or different types of goals.

Hi @thatgirlinjapan, thanks for explaining why you would like to have a secondary daily goal for Fitbit exercises. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Would like to set/track up to 5 different step goals per day. If I meet 10K steps per day, I would then like notification should I hit 12K without having to keep looking at the tracker/watch/app. Then, if I hit 15K, 20K, ...,I want my wrist to buzz me & the tracker to delight me. I think this would be especially helpful for those starting under 10K

I would like my Fitbit to be able to use multiple goals. I would like to be able to change my step goals without that goal being reflected on all of my prior data.

When your step goal is complete for the day and your device (mine is Fitbit versa 2) goes off with the wonderful fireworks. How about for each goal over the amount it goes off again. For example mine is 10,000 a day. At 20,000 steps it would go off again and then for 30,000 go off again and so on.

Love this idea. I came to this forum planning to suggest pretty much the same thing phrased differently - the ability to set both a base goal and stretch goal for steps. 

 

Would be helpful for runners/exercisers who get less steps on their rest days, people who walk a lot at work and less on their off days, and pretty much anyone who has a reason that their activity levels vary from day to day.

 

I'd imagine all they'd have to do is add a second field for step goal then reuse the same software that already sends you the step goal notification, maybe make the app turn a different shade of green if you hit the stretch goal.

I would like to see a second step goal step goal. I’m set for 10,000 steps/day but I try to achieve 15,000. It would be nice to feel the notification when I do reach 15,000. The only way to do that now would be to set a step goal to 5000 for 3 notifications

Hi Fitbit. I have had your products for years and LOVE them!
I was wondering...we focus so much on achieving 10000 steps but I’m realizing that smaller goals are a great motivation during the day. Could you create smaller goals/option to be recognized within the app? For example Goal 1 - 5000 steps then Goal 2 - 7500 steps Goal 3 - 10000 steps.

Ideal to have 2 targets for steps as an ideal target and a secondary target

I have good days and bad days (having an autoimmune disorder). It would be nice to have an easy goal, like 5000 steps, as a min I can get, and on a good day 10k, or a great day 15k. Same with stairs and active minutes. Can we get multiple levels of goals for this?

A lot of us have an absolute minimum amount of steps we need to make each day and then have a higher goal for "rewards" for instance, I need to do 7.5k daily but I get to reward myself if I make 9.2k would it be possible to add an additional daily step goal for those of us that would utilize this option?
