Add an option to turn on/off the Reminders to Move

Too often when reading or using my tablet, my left arm is idle too long, and the Reminder doesn't happen, as it it thinks I am in a sleeping mode. I'd like to have Reminders to Move to have ON, Auto, and Off/Quiet/Sleep options so I don't miss hours due to relying on the device to do what it ought to do - REMIND ME TO MOVE every Active hour!
This is needed because:
This is when I MOST need it to go off! If during active hours I DON"T want the reminder, I can remove the Fitbit or turn on Quiet Mode, but if I get reading/gaming hold my tablet (so left wrist/hand is upside down and idle) it must think I'm asleep. I'd complained years ago it doesn't go off when I fell asleep. I was told that was by design - ARGH!
I'd use this: Daily

Hi @JeanMT - normally reminders to move are specified for a range of hours and will go off during those hours as you require them so something is possibly not working as it should.

Make sure you haven't put the watch into Sleep or Do not disturb mode and don't have a scheduled quiet mode in watch settings which may influence it.

Some watches have a weak vibrate, especially at lower battery levels, that you may cause you to miss the reminder.

On Versas and Sense you may find clock faces in the Gallery that do their own reminders to move, such as SimpleClockPro, which also gives you multiple reminders in case you miss one.

Hi @JeanMT, thanks for participating in the Product Feedback board. We’re happy to inform you that this already exists on our Fitbit devices. You can receive reminders to move for the time of period of your choice as long as this function is turned on, and the DND or Sleep Mode are disabled on your device. For more details, see this help article. We hope you enjoy this feature!
