is there any way to get my countdown timer to go longer? i used to have the inspire 2 which could do like an hour and a half and i’m disappointed that my inspire 3 can only set a timer for an hour 😞

I feel the same way! And it's really only 59 minutes and 59 seconds which is so frustrating I can't even do 1 hour. I use 4 hour timers on my inspire 2 all the time.
Yea, they need to keep things like this the same across the models. It doesn't make sense for them to reduce it to minutes and seconds, when it was previously hours and minutes. I used to use the timer to keep better track of when I need to check blood sugar, now I can't.
Agreed, I just got the Inspire 3 to use primarily for drug reminders, really disappointed to see it has less useful functionality than the previous model. I’m tempted to return for the Inspire 2, but the 3 is much more slimline! Would love to see hours/minutes in the timer app.
Please please please! Update the inspire 3 to allow longer than 1 hour using the timer. It helps me remember to return to doing laundry. My washer cycle averages 1 hour 11 minutes. I can start the washer, set my fitbit timer and then do other work. It reminds me when the load is done and can get back to it.
I have also used it to remind me when I can take medication again. I can set it to 3, 4, 6, hours as a reminder to take the next dose.
Need 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 why it was changed! Please change it back how it was before. Make everyone much more happy. Especially those that depend on it. I hope the developers are reading these comments!. Help us out! Bring back the options to choose hours!
As a previous Inspire 2 user, as well as a Premium member, whos upgraded to the Inspire 3, I was surprised that Fitbit had decided to take away the hour option from the timer. I rely on the timer for various things and I often set alarms for 1hr 40, 2hrs and upwards. This is a big step back in funtionality and I dont understand thw reasoning for why they did this. Makes no sense. Would the budget not stretch to include the new O2 measurement as well as the hour time? Seems very daft to me and not at all in the best interest for the user. Please bring it back. Other than that, I love the Inspire range 🙂
I was soo disappointed to find the timer has changed from Hours/Minutes to Minutes /Seconds !! I really used this function a lot in my inspire 2! I d never thought I would lose this by upgrading model. Seconds are useless!!
Also requesting this. Alarms really are not a replacement for hour+ timer - it's so much faster to set a timer for 2 hours (e.g. when laundry is done), than compute the time offset from now and set an alarm.
