I would enjoy seeing an update to the Fitbit sense step achievement animation that matches or is similar to the charge 3 and earlier watches. These animations include disco ball, fireworks, bird, etc.
Hi @Hiddensakura, thanks for explaining why you would like to see fireworks/variety goal celebration on Sense. 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.
I would love to Be able to choose what animation happens when I complete my goal and I would love it even more if I could pick multiple ones to play randomly. I also think it would be nice to have multiple goals show up in the watch and pick an animation for each one. Also it would be nice to add your own animation or create your own!

I would also like to chime in on this. One of the main reasons I upgraded my fitbit was for the daily goal achievements. I used to strive to meat my goal, for that small little celebration I'd get. The fireworks were my favorite, but I also lived the rocket ship. I was so excited to meet my goal the first day of use to see some fireworks in color. Then I got some stupid shoe. I made an effort to meet my goal for a couple other days jn hopes of some variation. Nope, dumb shoe.
I completely stopped caring about the screen, and was honestly very disappointed. I know it's a stupid small thing to be upset about, but I get joy in the little things, and that was one of them.
It honestly made me consider returning my fitbit, and just go back to my old charge 2, where I refused to update it, because I knew stupid things like this would happen.
If you guys could honestly fix it in the versa 3, I'll be happy to keep it. I have little hope though, considering this post was made 4 months ago, and you've done nothing.
I have just got the Fitbit sense and very sad the fireworks are no longer on this,the dots and trainer just don’t do it any justice. Please could you add the fireworks too it,this would make it much better.

Thank you again for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Forums.
I would also like to request that the fireworks feature for reaching the daily step goal be added to the Sense. I had it on my Ionic and enjoyed the celebratory moment each day - I regret that it doesn’t seem to be available on the Sense.
Had a Charge2 for years and it was great. Got a Versa4 for Xmas. Not only does it not greet me in the morning when I put it on, it doesn’t give me fireworks when I hit my 10000 steps. Having lots of difficulty getting it to do the things I want … like adding apps, etc. and the Relax app seems unavailable.
I noticed that other Fitbit wearers are missing the fireworks and it seems like this has been a complaint for awhile. Seriously considering returning mine. Honestly don’t see what the price difference yields. Seems to have the same functionality as my Charge 2, albeit with a prettier screen.
Hi fitbit support, I recently (12/02/23) upgraded my fitbit charge with a fitbit sense 2, however there is one feature that I am so surprise that you have not taken on board. The goal celebration is very poor. I noticed on the fitbit community people are raising concerns regarding the lack of celebration once we reach a milestone. Why is this feature lacking? The fitbit charge was amazing in terms of the celebration milestone. The reason I updated to the sense, was because I had to keep replacing the strap. Now I have the fitbit sense I am tempted to back to the charge. I feel under whelmed by the lack of celebration feature which just shows a foot. Are there any plans to update this feature? If not I really do feel that I will be down grading to another model, whether it be a charge or versa?
Part 2
I have noticed that on the community chat that you did have the fireworks celebration on the fitbit sense but you removed it with this silly shoes. This does not motivate anyone. Please can you change this back to the fireworks?

It looks like the community has been requesting the changes to the celebration for a couple of years, it would be really good if you could finally do a product review on the fitbit sense 2, and make the necessary changes. Fireworks are indeed much more of a motivation than a foot!
I am also voicing my support for celebration options on my device. I have recently upgraded from a Versa 2 to a Fitbit Sense. Surely the upgrade would offer an improved user experience, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
I really got a kick out of watching the fireworks come up on my Versa 2 screen. Even my kids used to ask me to tell them when they were coming on. It reminded me of reaching the castle in Super Mario Bros, perhaps. : )
So, how about it? Is it too much to ask? Is there a technical reason that disallows you from implementing this feature? Please let us users know. Thank you.
I upgraded from the Charge HR to the Sense 2. Every time I see that dumb shoe, it's such a disappointment. Please add the option to choose fireworks as a goal celebration.
Looks like this has been a suggestion for about 4 years, but add me to the list of people who are sad to see that my new Sense 2 doesn't have step goal celebrations. My Versa 2 made me smile with the streamers and fireworks. This shoe is doing nothing for me.
