Customizable vibrations pattern for Silent Alarms

[bigAPE]

Could we please have an option to select from a list of possible vibration patterns for our Silent Alarms.

Selectable Vibration Patterns

• Flex Default (3 long, pause, repeat 3 long pattern until stopped)
• Charge Default (3 long, pause, 3 long, snooze for 9 minutes, 3 long, pause, 3 long)
• [NEW] Rapid (3 quick, pause, repeat 3 quick pattern until stopped)
• [NEW] Rising Scale (1 quick, pause, 2 quick, pause, 3 quick, pause, 3 long, pause,repeat 3 long until stopped)

The patterns and repititions seem to differ between the Flex and Charge without any ability to change them back. I found the Flex vibrations to be a little too harsh and I felt they had the potential to wake up my wife.

I would personally be happy if the setting was per configured alarm or globally for the tracker. Either way, having a few selectable options for the vibration would mean that users could choose how they are woken up!

If you feel this is a useful suggestion please vote for it

Cheers

My blaze vibration is weak, too.

Alarm is week on charge 2, need adjustable settings

[Cincinnati45244]

Can an update be done to increase the vibration?

Can not feel the vibration from my Fitbit Charge 2 at all when using the alarm mode.  The intensity which is much softer than my old Fitbit, needs to be increased or adjustable to ones individual preference.

[Weezlady]

I'd love stronger vibration. Charge 2 often isn't felt

[Cincinnati45244]

I don't see an option to choose vibration level. Can you give a step by step instruction?

Thanks

Agreed too weak.  Also would like to have at the very least a few different patterns choose from.  Or a build your own pattern: "1111001111010101" with each  '1' digit being X milliseconds long  and '0' would be off for X milliseconds.

I wish. I don't think there are any.

Having the same issue with Flex 2. The alarm duration is so low that I can't wake up.

[RynJaneway]

Yes Make the vibrations stronger...Also work with more then one messanger app

This is definitely a must have. If this isn't resolved, I'll be done with Fitbit for the foreseeable future. My older flex was great, and when it finally stopped holding a charge, I replaced it with a flex 2. I used the original primarily for the silent alarm feature, and with the vibration pattern now so unobtrusive, it has become useless to me. If this isn't addressed (doubtful after 3 years of feature request for it), then I definitely wasted money and will be looking elsewhere to fill this need. Disappointing, to say the least.

I left FitBit long ago. They don't listen to their customers.

While I just love the silent alarm option, 9 minutes isn't my snooze time - it's 5. Could we please get an option to customise it?

[Bushless]

Really would like a heavier vibration on Charge 2. Or as an option the ability to have vibration last longer...ex: 2 sec: 10 sec: 30 sec:

The way it is seems much too light and too short.

Thanks for listening

Hi everyone, thanks for this suggestion. Whilst there are no plans to change vibration strength for Flex or Charge, your feedback about variable vibration strength has been implemented on Blaze and Ionic ('strong' and 'normal'), as well as gradually increasing vibration on the alarm to wake up on Ionic. Whilst this isn't a customizable pattern for alarms, it addresses the issues of vibrations being too soft or too strong. If you still want customizable alarm patterns specifically, I recommend creating a new Feature Suggestion to accurately capture what you want. Thanks for sharing your feedback with us.

The silent alarm for Fitbit Blaze buzzes 3 times and then automatically snoozes.  3 snoozes and it stops the alarm.  Please make these two numbers customizable, specifically:

1)  Allow the number of "buzzes" before an automatic snooze to be selectable ("never automatically snooze" would be a nice option, but I think 99 or 999 is probably sufficient if that is simpler to implement).

2)  Allow the number of snoozes before the alarm is canceled to be selectable. (Similarly, it would be nice to be able to disable automatic cancellation, but a large enough number would solve the same problem)

700 people requested customizable vibration patterns in a previous thread, which was closed because "vibration strength has been implemented on Blaze and Ionic", even though this did not address the request. 

(The increased strength is appreciated, and I will be configuring that, but it is a different issue)

This is an attempt to create "a new Feature Suggestion to accurately capture what you want," as suggested by the person who closed the prior suggestion, titled, Customizable vibrations pattern for Silent Alarms

For the Charge 2

* Number of buzz

* Snooze interval
* Should it silent after X series of buzz

[Rich_Laue]

By adding a known duplicate request your watering down the votes. This makes it less likely to get the attention of the developers. 

By adding 3 suggestions in one post it makes it hard to know which suggestion is wanted and impossible to merge. 

[Fawar]

Well guess what im reiterating a thread with the same suggestion and simply asking those already made suggestion to be apply to the charge 2. Maybe you should of read the full thread before acting up like you are so much better?

[SunsetRunner]

This is a great idea. I set alarms to drink water and sometimes I forget what my alarm is for. Would be great if I could name them water, maybe even set an icon, and have them vibrate for only a few seconds instead!

[Onealkasi]

Please create an option to silence the vibration for notifications for the Blaze.  I was jolted out of bed and it startles me every time it happens because it’s so strong.   PLEASE!!!!!

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing this suggestion. We're always striving to enhance Fitbit products and services, and we appreciate all of the input we receive from our customers. We do not currently have plans to release this feature. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. For now, we will leave this suggestion open for votes (and closed to comments) so that we can continue to track community demand over time. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us and we will let you know if anything changes.

I, like many people have trouble getting up in the morning, but it is just too easy to tap off the Fitbit alarm and fall back asleep. I would love an optional alarm setting that would only stop vibrating after you walked a certain number of steps. This feels like a missed opportunity with wearable trackers

[Rosenkild]

Fitbit, 

Please add an option in Fitbit settings, to allow a user to change the silent alarm intensity according to personal preference.
