Allow More than 8 Alarms

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎09-01-2015 09:41

I was wondering why there is a limit of only 8 silent alarms? I would appreciate if we could have more, 8 just doesn't seem to be enough. I understand that each alarm lowers my battery life, but I am willing to trade some battery life for more available alarms.

 

Thanks.

I bet the Amazon Halo View fitness tracker has more than 8 alarms, while being a LOT cheaper. 

 

Still got time to make more than 8 alarms happen Fitbit..... If you're quick.

8 alarms are not enough. As someone with adhd I have no conception of time and need to stay away from my phone to not be distracted that's why fitbit is great.
BUT I have already 11 daily alarms just for personal tasks, not even including work or anything external. Battery life isn't a priority if I could have the option to have more alarms

i find it totally crazy that I am limited to only 8 alarms. It is so arbitrary. If I want to have 800 alarms why should my device stop me from doing that?

I'd appreciate the ability to set more idle/silent alerts. They'd be very useful for water reminders etc.
