Fitbit Badge for Goal Streaks

[Matthew24]

I think a badge should be awarded for continuously achieving your daily step goal. For example: Reach your daily step goal every day for an entire week, and receive a badge for your efforts. Increments could be week, month (30 days), and so on. I think this would be a great motivator for those of us who relax on the weekends and can never seem to reach our step goals on Saturday and/or Sunday. This would encourage steppers to keep their step streaks going! Therefore using their fitbit every day and getting as many steps as possible!

I'm now approaching 1,000 consecutive days of 10,000+ steps. Fitbit should definitely have a consecutive days badge. I feel like badges in 5 day or 1 week increments would help a lot of people reach their daily goal ... and the company sell more Fitbits!

Hi @margaretrice56! Great suggestion, thanks for sharing. I've moved it into a similar request. Hopefully we will have support from other users since more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains.

A friend who uses a different fitness tracker posted in Facebook a badge that he had completed 522 days with at least one exercise activity. Why doesn’t Fitbit provide a badge like that? Even a way of figuring out how many days since you last failed to complete an exercise activity would be great. I take a walk every day without fail and it would be great if I could see what kind of a streak I’ve run up,

It would be really fun if you earned badges for completing your main goal consecutively, I think that it would encourage lots of FitBit users to reach their goals more often and to be proud of it. It would also give users another reason to put on their FitBit each day. I had a streak of 86 days, and the longer it grew the more motivated I was to keep it going. I developed a healthy habit of taking long walks and watching T.V. while walking on the treadmill. I think other users will enjoy this greatly.

Hey there,

Totally agree about this feature. It's similar to something that Garmin has, and it works great there in my opinion.

Btw, me and my team have developed a Machine Learning chatbot that does the analysis of your health data to find insights in it (itslili.com). One of the features in the future is also the "badge" one, as you described above.

It's currently in public beta and I would love if you would be interested to try it out. Let me know if you are interested and let's get in touch.

Have a good day!

Hi @Kennilp, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to earn badges when you hit your goals. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". You can learn more about it here. Keep adding these suggestions.

If Garmin can do it, Fitbit can do it too!

It's a very motivational feature, it makes you squeeze out those extra steps at the end of the day.

I have made 10,000 every day for over 5 years.  Now I am getting a message that pops up that says congrats on making your goal for 15 days (or whatever). This message is the opposite of reinforcing.  There should definitely be a badge for making your step goal commulative days.

I would love to have badges for consecutive days of reaching 10k steps (or maybe just hitting your goal). Streaks keep me motivated to do something, as I lose interest if I miss a day. I have a streak of 962 days straight of hitting 10k steps and know that earlier on, having badges to help hit some goals would've been helpful to stay at it.

I like how my fitbit celebrates when i close my goal each day but i struggle to find motivation to close it for weeks and months. Why not introduce something like ”streaks” where i get a medal if i close my goal 7 days in a row or monthly challenges based on last months data.

Hi @Hugo1, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to get a  Fitbit Badge for Goal Streaks. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". I hope to see you around

[theonlystiz]

I agree that this is a very important aspect to maintaining and motivating. When is Fitbit going to add Streaks as a feature and in addition to that when will they add badges for streaks? 30 days, 60 days, 1 year, etc. This is a necessity and the community has spoken. Is this in the works with Fitbit software? If not, moving to another platform may be necessary. 

Convince me to stay with Fitbit.

Create a way to register the day step streak achievements Create a way to register the day step streaks so one can follow the progress on increasing the day step streaks

[Sharonalondon]

Great idea. This would be so motivating. Could also be an idea for a challenge

[Aaronhs]

I recommend a badge for the number of months in a row of achieving you goal

[TurtleMum2007]

A badge for streak options; for completing all goals for so many days, consecutively.

Thanks! Is the ere a timeframe to when we will have or not the trophy or badge for goal step streaks?

[Darwinsail]

I don't understand why the developers didn't implement this so easy task. It will be a cool addition to stimulate to continue using Fitbit

[Darwinsail]

add day step streak as one badge or trophy
