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.

A Fitbit is meant to incentivize increased activity. For those who are at lower fitness levels or in rehabilitation it's discouraging to get zero credit for our short bursts of exercise. Instead of celebrating small successes, we are tempted to say "why bother"? Please lower the threshold to 5 or even 1 minute so we can work at our own pace.

Either a variable frequency setting for reminders to move or a reminder every 30 minutes option

this post is nearly 3 years old. No change in the future... I miss several hours in the day because of this, I'm going to find a way around it but it would be very nice if they would implement this feature...

I read an article. It said, “ if you set more than 90 min and don’t walk, You’ll still have health issues, even if you exercise that. Day.”

In your NEXT FIRMWARE update, You need to program the charge 5 to send a single buzz to reming every 90 min to walk

Hi, @dblanken48! Look at the feature "reminders to move" - it reminds you to take 250 steps every hour. This feature already exists.

I apologize I found that out later on

Thank

Hi @dblanken48, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion. As our friend mentioned, the reminders to move already exist and you can find more about this feature in this help article.

I've also moved your post to this other idea about being able to adjust the time when you receive the reminders to move. This will also help us to make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote. Click on the thumbs-up to show your support and keep adding your suggestions!

The “Reminders to Move” function is hard coded to 10 minutes before the hour when the user has not reached 250 steps.
Please open this function so that users can set a desired reminder time, e.g., at 15 or 20 minutes before the hour.
Fitbit might keep the 10 minute reminder as a default setting but please allow user customization of this

Movement reminders currently only remind you 10 minutes before the hour is up if this could be customizable then you wouldn't have to always have rush getting steps in.

I love my Charge 5, so this is more of a "luxury" than a necessity.

I feel it would be nice to be able to customize when I get my "Reminders To Move" each hour. Right now, I believe they happen 10 minutes before the hour. It would be nice to be able to change them to every half hour or 20 minutes before the hour.
