Add water intake on Charge 5

The possibility of adding water intake directly on the device.
- I have a Charge 5, but is likely relevant to more devices.

Same options as in app (should never differ) i.e. 250 ml / 500 ml / 750 ml

Would like to be able to log water intake directly on Charge 5. I would also like to see a weather app and more clock faces/apps available.

Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about the possibility of logging water intake directly on the Charge 5. I noticed that a similar feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here, this helps to keeps the boards more organized. Make sure to add your vote as well to support this suggestion, this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time. 

 

In addition, please consider voting for this other suggestion posted in the forums regarding the Weather App on the new Charge 5

 

Thank you again for your participation in the Community!

Please add water intake to Fitbit device instead of just on the app.

 

Also, please make payment feature available to more Canadian institutions. I chose Charge 5 over Luxe specifically for this feature and only one major  financial institution is allowed to be used. I can't add either credit card or bank account so I can't use this feature. I am feeling ripped off honestly.

This was a feature on my last fitbit, why isn't it on this newer one? Seems like a lot of features are missing this watch.

What happened to seeing my water, weight & weather on my Charge 5?  Where did these things go?

Also would like to have water intake on the band itself, adding glasses on the phone is totally impractical.

Another user looking for the ability to add water intake via the Charge 5. Would be a great update to the device.

Being able to track water directly on the watch as suggested under https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Add-water-intake-on-device-Charge-5/idi-p/506157... would be really great.

But I think it would be helpful as well to have a reocurring reminder for drinking water on the watch directly.

I have read probably 6 or 7 requests for this same feature with votes indicating many people want it. They start at 2018.

 

This is so dissapointing. I just got my fitbit, I might return it, feedback isn't valued and water was a key item I wanted to track. I got the fitbit specifically so I wouldn't have to carry my phone everywhere, so it's impractical to require people to use a phone app for a wearable device that they paid for. 

 

Please do better

I'm a new user, so replying late to this survey. But I very much want to see the ability to record water intake directly on the device.

Hey Fitbit team, I just bought my first Fitbit tracker today and can't believe this basic feature is not available on the device while listed in the product's description at your website. My previous super cheap Xiaomi miband 6 had it.

Would like to add water and see weather. Anyone know if other trackers that do both?

I can't believe this is still 'in review' considering how long and how many users have been requesting it.

My old versa is on its way out so will be shopping for another band that can do the basics such as this one.

Please add water tracking to the Fitbit. Not helpful just to have on phone.

Please add a customizable water log on the Fitbit devices similar to the customizable activity tracker.

I also want a water intake feature without wandering off on to the app because that's inconvenient and I'm prone to forgetting.

Yes...! Please add this. I spent >15 minutes looking through the app, on how to enable this feature, because I thought it was obviously there.
