Customize Reminder to Move Time of Frequency

[tiggerulz]

it would be nice to have a Hourly Activity tile on the dashboard that would readily give the steps taken in the hour and how many more you have to go... and including that information in the Hourly Activity section of the app.

would also be nice to have the ability to edit the amount of steps.  Have the minimum as 250 but give the user the ability to increade that if needed.

and the ability to change the time that you get the reminder to move, sometimes 10 mins to the top of the hour doesn't give enough time to work in the remainder of the steps needed.

I work from home and it's easy to lose track of time. Before I know it, I'm 10 minutes to the hour and my Charge 3 has just informed me that I haven't moved for the last 50 minutes and I need to go walk 250 steps, which really isn't doable unless I leave the house. It would be much, much more helpful to get a reminder every 15 minutes to to walk, say, 50 steps, or to at least get the reminder earlier than 10 minutes. So it would be great if we could customise both when we get the reminder to move and how many steps that reminder is counting for. And also, perhaps being able to manually check that you moved in the hour, just for your own records (I'm still laughing that I spent four hours yesterday going up and down a 10-foot ladder and my Charge 3 told me I didn't do any exercise all day ).

Hello @TravellingRae  ! Thanks for sharing this suggestion, I moved it to this similar post so you can add your vote to it. Please keep sharing your ideas with us

[Jleys]

I have searched the suggestions and didn't find anything that was exactly what I was looking for. 

I would like the ability to set custom reminder to move intervals. Currently, we only have the option to monitor an hour for activity, between two times of day. I would specifically like to be able to monitor movement or activity in 20 or 30 minute blocks during certain times of a given day.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi @Jleys, thanks for adding your suggestion! I appreciate that you've checked other ideas to find a similar one. Hope you get a lot of votes!

[Keffria]

This desire has been logged many times since reminders were added as a feature, sadly there doesn’t seem to be enough votes so unlikely to happen 😕

[Bethp1017]

I would really like to adjust reminder to move notification to 15 minutes. Sometimes 10 minutes is not enough time to reach a stopping point in a task AND still get 250 steps in.

Please increase the time to move notification from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.  Sometimes I am working on a task and it takes a few minutes to get to a point where I can stop and then I do not have time to get my steps in.  Also my 89 year old mother moves a bit slow and has given up trying to get hourly steps because by the time she gets up and gets moving she does not have enough time to get in 250 steps.  

[EdsonFitbit]

@Bethp1017 Thanks for your suggestion about having 15 minute time to move notification.

I moved it to this thread because it is the same idea.

[DIBW]

The reminder to move notification is currently set to 10 min before the hour.  The issue is that most Outlook meeting invites are also set to this time.  So the meeting invites AND the reminder to move notifications come in at the same time but only the meeting invite is visible unless I scroll.  I know, I can scroll...  but if I have to remember to do that, I would just remember to move in the first place!

I would like to request that the reminder to move notifications come in at any other time besides exactly 10 min before the top of the hour.  Thank you!!!

When purchasing the Versa 2, I was really hoping to be able to personalize my reminders; specifically the reminders to move.  It says on the web page for the Fitbit Versa 2 product the following:

Under Features>Personalized Reminders> "Stay on track toward your goals with personalized reminders that remind you to stay active, get hydrated, stick to a sleep schedule and more."

Under Features>Reminders to Move> "Know how long you've been active or inactive throughout the day and get personalized reminders to fit in a few extra steps if you've been sitting a bit too long." 

The wording is vague and misleading, as I cannot personalize my reminders.  I think it would be beneficial to be able to customize these reminders, as I was hoping to be able to when I purchased the Fitbit Versa 2.  Make the reminder to move based on activity level (steps, movement, etc) and be able to pick a time limit for yourself (10, 20, 30, etc. minutes).  This would allow people to set and reach personal goals easier and be more user-helpful, in my opinion.

I too was misled by this, thinking that I would be able to set a reminder to move based on inactivity, not on counted steps.

[DLThune]

I would really like to be able to personalize my "get off my butt" reminders so I get more than one in an hour.  My personal ideal would be to be able to set one to go off at 15 minutes to the hour, and a 2nd reminder at 10 or 5 minutes to the hour, since it only takes me 2 minutes to walk 250 steps.  

When I'm particularly busy with work, I don't even notice the vibration.  I recently had a 90+ day streak going, walking at least once an hour, 9 hours each day.  An impromptu meeting in my office killed it.  A double notification could have saved that for me.  

So if I could personalize the notifications to suit my schedule better, it would be WONDERFUL.  

Please give this feature request some consideration. 

[Pippin147]

is it possible to have a 5 minute alert for the active hour as well as the 10 minute alert? Keep missing the odd hour by forgetting!

[YojanaFitbit]

Hi @Pippin147, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the edit customize Reminder to Move Time of Frequency. 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.

[JDA2020]

I would love to see customizable Reminders to Move. Currently, i can only be reminded to move 250 steps. It would be great to be able to set the hourly goal higher so that I can keep a good pace throughout the day to meet my daily goals.

[EdsonFitbit]

Hi @JDA2020, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about being able to customize Reminders to Move, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is not currently planned.

[gkbdvm]

allow user to suggest a time for a "reminder to move" hour begins IE xx:10, xx:20 etc. This would allow folks in the same environment to stagger the start times for their "reminder to move" exercise

[LizzyFitbit]

Hi @gkbdvm. Thanks for explaining why you'd like to be able to customize the time to get the reminder to move on your Fitbit device. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. That way we can keep this board organized, in addition to clearly understanding which idea other members are voting for. Don’t forget to click on the thumbs-up to show your support.

[grtruck]

The 'nudge' to get up and move within the hour is good - but it would be good also for the overall steps goal target. I've just missed these by between 500 and 6 steps - a 'nudge' when close to the goal would get my up and at 'em. Is it possible to get a reminder on the fitbit to do this? Would be good.
