Able to set own reminders on Fitbit devices

I suggest adding in a silent alarm type feature that users can set to go off every X minutes during a set period of time. I would like to use this as an eye break reminder. When the timer limit is reached my watch will vibrate once to let me know it’s time for an eye break.

Have you looked at Clock faces in the Gallery that do this already.

 

SimpleClockPro has a drink reminder that can possibly be used for eye reminders, and/or has SimpleTimer that is an addon which will remind at whatever time frequency you set, on repeat.

@Guy_ Is that only an option for the smart watch versions of the Fitbit?  That sounds like it would work well for what I want to do, even if I need to manually start and stop the timer each day.  I'm not seeing it with my app/clock faces though,  I do have an older model (AltaHR) that might not have this as an option since it's not one of the smartwatches/is older.

Unfortunately only for smart watches. Shame.
