Customize Fitbit Inspire Long Press feature

I noticed that dnd mode activates itself when wearing the fitbit... A "long press" on the sides while just bending de wrist makes pop the dnd function... then an unwanted smooth touch (clothes or...) activates DND mode !!
If we can choose what the "long press" does, we can avoid that problem !
I'd like to start a stopwatch with the long press
This is needed because:
dnd or sleep mode can be enabled unwillingly, this is VERY annoying !
I'd use this: Daily

I am about to return the second of 2 fitbit inspire 2s for the DND problem.  1/2 time when I turn my wrist rather than the click/data looking back at me all I see is DND.  It renders the otherwise lovely item totally useless

Change the long sides press input to some other pattern OR turn it off as an input and navigate to that menu a different way. Fitbit Inspire.

Hi @bakumshakum, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to customize Fitbit Inspire Long Press feature. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Hello,

 

Having this issue as well. The #1 reason for me to have a fitbit fir the past 6 years was to be alerted of messages and calls... now that DND seems to randomly turn on by accidental clicks of the buttons, it has become nearly useless to me. We should be able to enable and disable what settings are on the fitbit just as we can enable and disable certain activities or reminders. Without this change I look at my fitbit more to make sure DND and sleep are off that I do to see notifications I actually want to see. Please bring this up to the team as it's clearly a large issue and it's very frustrating to customers.

It would be great if the app had a feature to disable the long tap of the button. This would avoid this issue which is very frustrating.
