This is a great idea! I would recommend making the custom sizes like the iOS app Waterlogged where you can upload pictures with the number of oz or mL of your different sized water bottles and glasses. Then you can quickly scroll trough your list and tap the bottle. The amount would be auto added.
Additionally, it would be great to be able to select an option of "I drank a whole 16.9oz water bottle, "I drank 3/4 of my Nalgene 20oz bottle today", and "I drank 1/2 of my Camelbak 25oz bottle today"; then the app would add 16.9+(.75*20)+(.5*25)=16.9+15+12.5=44.4oz to your log without having to do all the math....it saves time and encourages users to track their water more if they have to do less work to do so. I have several different bottles that are measured in mL and ounces makes more sense to me. So I have to, first, remember that my bottle is 16.9oz, 20oz, 24oz, and 25oz, then figure up how much I drank (1/4, half, 3/4, etc), then calculate how many ounces that equates to, then enter it into my app several time per dayy (which requires getting my phone out of my pocket, unlocking my phone, finding my Fitbit app, wait for the app to open, go the the water tracking section, then enter my water). I believe that just being able to open the app and tap the picture of my specific bottle would help cut down on the time and frustration involved in tracking my water everyday--I drink anywhere from 64 to 190oz of water a day.
Yes, it makes absolute sense to be able to set my own custom glass/bottle sizes for water intake. Currently the glass is 236.6 ml in Windows 10 app, 250 ml in Android app and my own glass has a size of 330 ml. So I have to enter the value 330 ml several times a day manually. It's inconvenient.
This request exists since January 2015... FitBit hasn't done anything since then... same as with all the other bugs and request I'm inetersted in... this voting platform is just to make users feel that they can request features/fixes, but in reality nothing ever changes...
Moderator edit: added tiles and title for clarification
I agree! I've even added apps that claim to integrate with Fitbit (like waterlogged) & I can customize my bottle & amount of fluid. I'd keep using it but it tends to only sync 1 day a week. Fitbit - you are king of the mountain - this seems like something that should have been addressed long ago. You are the fitness tracker. Staying hydrated is a key component.
Not that I think anyone is actually paying attention to this request (it has been here for well over 2 years now) but I'm going throw my opinion in here as well.
Please make the bottle sizes customizable!! I drink a particular brand of bottled water that is 16.9 ounces - not 16.0 and would just like to have the ability to click that bottle and have it register 16.9 ounces.
I would certainly appriciate the ability to add a custom water size. My main bottle of use is 18.5 oz -- not an even number for sure. I would much rather just add a pre-saved item, then input by hand every single time.
Please add something to the settings for users to set the number of ounces in our water bottles. Currently the defaults are 8, 24, 32. Not everyone has those set sizes. If they're drinking from disposable bottles, they're often either 16.9 or 20 ounces. And reusable bottles come in a myriad of options. Since Fitbit can't possible have every conceivable size bottle, it makes sense to allow users to set values that fit the containers they each use.
For health reasons it is important to me to track my water intake. I use a 30 oz. tumbler every day and it would be great to be able to set this as a quick add option. Thanks.
Please add a way to personalze the quick add sizes for tracking water consumption. I use a 20 oz water bottle, so neither the 16 or 24 oz avalable quick add work for me. It's a few extra steps to manually add in 20 oz each time I finish a bottle and I would really appreciate the convenience of being able to customize this setting.
It would be great if we fitbit users had the ability to change/edit the preset quick add water amounts. Everytime I enter water intake I have to do it manually, really irks me. Here in Australia our water bottles are 600ml. So I'd love to be able to change the amount on the "1 bottle 750ml" to 600ml. We have a water fountain with cups at work and those cups are 100ml, not 250ml.
Is it possible in a future app update that fitbit developers add into settings the ability for users to edit the quick add amounts? Please make it happen.
I agree with the OP. I would like to be able to edit the amount of water in the Quick Add feature of the app. Most of our water bottles here are 600ml or 1L or 1.25L and entering it manually everytime is quite annoying and time consuming.
