Allow night shift reminders to move (or customized hours)

Please allow night shift hours to be selected for reminders to move. I work 7p to 7a at the hospital and the current feature only allows half of my shift to be selected. It doesn't recognize those 12 hours as consecutive hours. It would also be helpful to select different time frames for different days. I work nights 3 days a week, but the rest of the week I am awake and active during the day. I'd like to customize the reminders for certain hours on specified days.

Being able to set my hours of activity, my shifts are 9pm-8am so my activity is split between two days on the fitbit app. I'll get 3 miles on Monday and 7 miles on Tuesday even though for me that 10 miles was in one waking period. The hourly activity goal won't even allow me to set time frames for when I'm active at work.

It would be more helpful if I could set the times for activity. As I work nights, my Fitbit resets after midnight; breaking my one shift into two days (1800 to 2359 and 0000 to 0715) and combining consecutive days. It's very annoying.

Not everyone wakes at 6am and is thinking the thoughts that broccoli think by 10pm. Some are natural night owls or work swing shift. The hourly activity counter is locked into ONE span inside 24 hours. It won't even let me count steps till midnight; I have to end at 11pm. PLEASE FIX. Permit users to *split* the 14 hours if they wish, inside the 24

Hi @Mathetria - In case you have a smartwatch have a look at SimpleClockPro which handles well night shift workers. The Active hours can be set on the watch face itself, and steps to do [or done] for this hour are shown on the watch face, along with the number of active hours, and a full day hourly step history is available along with multiple reminders to move.

The data is stored in the Fitbit App but it will be spread over 2 days so to see it it will still be necessary to change the Move settings to get a view of the 2 different sections of the 24 hours.

Hi there. Thanks. I have the Fitbit Versa. It has a watch aspect, of course, but I don't believe it allows the function you mention.

@Mathetria- you are right it is only available on a Versa 2 or later.

Well, at least I know it exists.
