Add hour setting into countdown feature (in addition of min and sec) for Charge 5

[Zicinparis]

In the countdown feature (on Charge 5), only 'minutes' and 'secondes' can be set, which is limiting any countdown to 1 hour max.

I would really use this countdown more if I could set also a 'hour' setting, to extend this function to 24 hours (or even more).

And rather easy to implement I suppose.

I would likewise use this feature on a daily basis. At the moment, I don't really have a use for the countdown function. It would also be nice to have multiple timers/stopwatches going simultaneously. Thanks for reading!

I would really like this feature, I have a Fitbit Inspire HR and used this regularly. I find it quite disappointing that a simple feature like this would.be missing from the Charge 5. It's one of my only dislikes about the device.

Please add this, seems silly that a premium fitness tracker can’t count down in hours

I have the same problem with my brand new Inspire 3 ... only one hour! My Inspire HR permits several hours. I am disappointed!

[Jfloo]

Yes, yes, yes! Very disappointed with the lack of hour option on the Luxe. I used it daily on inspire.

Absolutely need this, I recently upgraded from inspire 1, and it had hours and used it very regularly.

I’d like to add my vote for this please. I’ve just upgraded from HR Sense which had hours and minutes to Charge 5 which does minutes and seconds. A countdown timer with hours and minutes is much more useful.

Can I also ask if any of these requests actually make a difference? I’ve seen threads going back over several years asking for what seem to be simple things or asking for features that older models have and yet no change.

Just updated my Inspire HR and I'm really disappointed that the Timer Countdown feature has been changed with this new Inspire 3. Need the Hours back! Seconds are useless in a Countdown. I used the Timer feature with the Hours and Minutes settings daily. It was very handy. Makes no sense to change this feature in the first place. Please change it back how it was before. Make everyone much more happy.

Please add hour capability to the timer. I now need to become a grazer (eat every 3-4 hrs) after decades of not eating this way. All for my health and medical needs. Having the Fitbit able to do this would be a tremendous aid too me. Thanks.
