Gentle Setting for Vibration on Charge 3

[wekebu]

It's a convenient feature having the Charge 3 vibrate when there's a notification.  However, could there be a Gentle setting for the Vibrations?  I have mine set to Normal and it feels like an electrical shock everytime I get a notification. Or turn off option.

Hello @SunsetRunner,  thanks for sharing this idea regarding the option to have a "Light" vibration, in addition to the Strong and Normal vibration settings. 

I want to inform you that this feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve proceeded to move your idea here as it is Not currently planned. However, keep in mind that this idea is still open to votes, so the team can continue to track popularity and demand over time.

Thank you again your participation in the Community forums.

The vibrations are very upsetting for some people when you are not interacting with the device. It is very startling.

Hello, it's been at least two years this feature has been suggested. When will Fitbit implement it?

The Normal vibration mode is too strong. A Light mode would great in order to have a real personalised alarm if you want to wake up earlier than the person lying next to you. At the moment the softest mode is so strong that everybody wakes up!

Hi! Once again when will Fitbit implement this feature? Could you tell us because of which point of "10. How does Fitbit decide what Feature Suggestions are released?" from the Feature Suggestion FAQ this feature isn't possible to implement?

A Light mode would great in order to have a real personalised alarm if you want to wake up earlier than the person lying next to you. At the moment the softest mode is so strong that everybody wakes up! That's why I'am actually now thinking of buying the BOSE Sleepbuds II: https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/wellness/noise_masking_sleepbuds/noise-masking-sleepbuds-ii.html

Please give us more information about why setting a softer mode is so difficult (or expensive) to implement (even in the event thousands of people would have voted for this feature) and please also consider letting this post open to new comments (or re-open the first one about this subject).

Kind regards.
