Add ability to set alarms back to the Fitbit App

[rjjohnso]

Re-add the ability to add/update/delete alarms in mobile apps and sync to all fitbit devices. A recent firmware update seems to have removed this capability from mobile apps and it seems it is only possible to do this on the watch itself. I would like to see this functionality added back to the mobile apps.

I am in the exact same position (upgrade from Inspire 2 to Inspire 3) and agree 100%. It is an advantage to have 2 ways to set alarms: both in the app, and on the device. Like many people, I set alarms on my phone all the time, so ideally the phone app for Fitbit would also have a way to set, edit, and remove alarms even if that functionality is included on the device itself.

Can you please enable the smartphone app to set/change alarms for the Charge 5. I need multiple recurring alarms per day and the smartphone app is clear and well arranged for multiple alarms for my Alta HR. Multiple alarms on the device itself is cumbersome as there is no overview for all the alarms.

Forced to buy a new device because original broke and very annoyed to find alarm function so clunky and unwieldy onInspire3. I need multiple alarms - very difficult to set and to confirm until alarm should be happening. These devices are very small to be setting multi functions - please restore alarms to the mobile app NOW!!

Just purchased a Charge 6 after my Charge 2 finally gave out. I am disappointed to find that I can no longer set alarm(s) for my watch from within the Fitbit app, and can only do so from the watch itself. I don’t like cluttering my watch interface or trying to navigate those menus, so I would appreciate being able to do it from my phone again!
