Add more daily goal celebrations on Charge 5

[Lt_Data]

The Charge 3 and Charge 4 had several different animations for step goal completion. I'm especially font of the shiny disco balls animation.

On the Charge 5 I only see one and it's really boring.
Please bring more stepgoal animations to the Charge 5

Yes, it would be nice.  I also miss the bigger celebration in the App on your phone.  It used to change to green or something and was a big deal.  The new one is a really damp squib.  A merest hint of a sparkle, a blink and you miss it. 

It's a shame as most users by definition are motivated by stats and reaching their goals.

The one I really miss is the rocket one that I had on the Charge 2.

I'd love to have that back, in colour.

One of the things I enjoyed on my Charge 3 was the different animations that would pop up when you would reach 10,000 steps. (My favorite was the disco ball!) But now that I've upgraded to a Charge 5, I see that it's just the same foot and circle every time. You've got a color screen now! Use it!

I also really miss the disco ball animation! It was my favorite! 

It was fun to know I'd reached 10,000 steps and I'd look to see which animation came up. But on the Charge 5, who cares?

You have a big, color screen now! Why aren't you using it?

The charge 2 also had a variety of step goal celebrations, I miss the fireworks!

[Wdootsie]

I really miss the spinning Disco ball when reach my step goal. The foot/shoe is VERY BORING . YOU NEED SOMTHING MORE FUN and exciting . I’m also upset the charge 5 does not count stairs 

[kfanfitness]

This new version was an upgrade in most respects, but I miss the disco ball and the variety SOOOOO much!  Daily. It's a huge disappointment.

[GLo007]

Yes!!! I agree that the Charge 5 celebration is boring and I need something more to celebrate when I archieved my goals. The rocket from Charge 2 was awesome and the discoball sounds good as well. Can you make several options available toe users? 

[AED17]

I miss the fireworks!  I usually don't realize I'm about to hit a goal and they would surprise me, perk up my mood, and keep me going!  I was really looking forward to seeing them in color when I upgraded from a charge 3 to a charge 5 and was very disappointed when they were no longer an option.

Please take advantage of the colour screen and add more step animations. I am sad that you took away this feature. I had higher hopes for the Charge5. 

[LotsaSmiles]

Yes!! The rocketship on my Charge 2 was my favorite - so much so that I filmed my wrist every time I hit my 10k for a week until I got it so I could immortalize it, knowing my 2 was dying and that my husband’s 5 no longer had any cool animations.

Here’s an idea: open up the animations to devs to design in a marketplace where we can pick out our own favorites. You could even charge something like $1 per animation. I’d pay it! These fun celebrations keep me motivated!

[HoorayFiasco]

I switched from the Apple watch to the Charge 5 because I missed the rocket celebration and I am so bummed to find there is nothing when I complete my step goal 😭 why even bother stepping now ?!?! Plllleeeaaase give us an animation update Fitbit !!

[Kbollman]

I just upgraded to the charge 5 and really love it so far. I was super disappointed in my first 10,000 step goal to see the shoe- almost demotivating. I love the fireworks and the disco ball. I am disappointed that the color screen didn't have something better than the shoe. Yuck. 

[Flipflop-girl]

Really dissapointed when my old fitbit died and husband replaced it with a charge 5.

I did my first 10,000 steps today with it and was expecting the firworks, vibrations the lot.  Nothing!  thought I had a dud.

Why remove a great feature on a later model!!??!!

Thiking of ditching it and buying an Apple or somthing, it was fun, now its boring.....

Sad.
