It would be such a small change to just allow us to disable vibrations completely instead of having them on normal/strong. Do not disturb doesn't help me because I already have all notifications off, but the watch still vibrates when I press any app or make any changes on my watch, and I hate it.

Charge 4: Allow user the option to turn off vibration for ALL purposes including notifications, pressing a button, switching screens etc., much like we would with a cell phone. Please update the system for an all silent option, no vibrations for any reason. Add "off" and "low" to vibration setting options.

Yes please, I neeeeed that! It's like the watch is keeping us, slaves, buzzing electric shocks to remind us of things, or congrats us after benchmarks!! Even after shutting off everything in the app, on the DND, it still buzzes me for a batch or because I completed something saying 'well done with a chock!
Just a simple on-off switch for the buzzer on all levels. Buzzer on-off toggle switch. And please, put a bell a ding, or a simple beep for the alarm!! Watches back in the '90s had them, it's not a modern thing. If there's no buzzer, I cant use the AMAZING 8 alarm feature!;((
Yes please let me turn off these vibrations. They are very distracting, provide me zero value, and i absolutely hate them. I have turned on DND, disabled AZM notifications but nothing helps. The buzzing just continues and disturbs me in any task i am doing.
Create a setting that turns of ALL vibration functions. I have been so annoyed by the vibrations that I actively advise people to get other smart watches. I would love this fit bit if not for that one major flaw.
Seems to have deleted my comments regarding how this can actually be a dangerous feature. When you’re active, (for instance, Biking on the street lets say) you’re pretty focused on the task. It’s important to not get distracted as that can be dangerous. So, when your watch starts suddenly spazzing out and vibrating nonstop, it’s distracting. To stop it, you have to either stop and turn it off or reach over with one hand to do so. This can also startle you if you’re not expecting it, and for myself, it just really annoys me to no end. Do me a kindness and make it a one click option in the settings.

I have CRPS and the vibrations are hurting me. They are still on in do not disturb mode and in night timemode. Please turn them off or i will never get another fitbit

Provide a way to turn off vibrations... nor just change "intensity," not just limit it to certain types of notifications... Hundreds, if not thousands, of users have asked for this; those who want to keep the vibrations an do so. Some of us are particularly sensitive to physical stimulation. Stop discriminating against neurodivergent people!

Do not disturb or silent mode still allows vibrations. I have stopped using the watch to track anything, have watch on silent/night mode and the stupid thing still vibrates. Pricing Apple smart watch and will be switching soon since FitBit will not fix. This feature has been requested for years and FitBit will not respond. Maybe loss of customers will finally get their attention
Hi @bittyflea - just a thought, if you are using a smartwatch with loadable clock faces, check that the clock face isn't issuing you a warning vibration that needs to be turned off separately in it's settings.
Not applicable. Do not have a "watch with lockable faces"
I spent many hrs troubleshooting with various FitBit mouthpieces. Pretty much the last word was "sorry, you can't completely turn off vibrations." Why, bc Google wants to keep prodding you to look at or fiddle with your watch... It is no different than the social media algorithms wanting your attention. All I need is to get a device that helps me monitor some health parameters - I do not need a helicopter mother on my wrist. I don't need it (nor have it set to) give me the weather, email and text notifications or any other wasteful cr@p. Not only that, some ppl are neurodivergent and unwanted stimuli is beyond irritating, it is distressing. Google keeps ignoring these users multiple requests to have an off switch for vibrations. FitBit watches weren't like this until taken over by Google.
An implementation of the ability to disable ALL vibrations on a Versa 4, rather than just light vs strong vibration. I am not just referring to notifications, but also button presses, opening an app, etc. Just adding another button with the 2 that already exist would be sufficient in my mind.

I've searched suggestions and the most "recent" was 2 years ago. I don't always want my Sense 2 to send notifications with vibrations. It would be nice if there was an option to turn the vibrate completely off. Some check the notifications often enough we don't need a startling vibration to remind us.
