Increase or customize hourly activity goal from 250 steps/hour

[cookiem66]

It would be really cool to have the option to increase the reminder to move minimum count.  Currently, the reminder to move is set to 250 and I would really like the option of raising that number as my activity increases.

Yes I want this too!! Please make the fix via software!!!!

I have the Charge 2. Is there a way to increase /decrease the amount of steps taken per hour from 250? Having an adjustable amount of steps reminder for the hour would be very helpful for those of us trying to make sure we are getting more than 3,500 steps during the 14 hour time span. Or have a setting in the app so you can breakdown and see how many steps you have taken each hour. I am currently carrying a sticky note with me and writing down the beginning step count each hour to make sure I reach my 500 step goal per hour.

Hello,

may any I suggest the device have the capability to change the hourly step goal from 250 to another amount, for example, to 500 or 1000. I find 250 steps too low for my goals.

@TOstepper @adsf   Thanks for your suggestions. I moved your posts here, so that it gets the desire attention. Please do not forget to leave your votes

I’ve been asking for this for over 2 years. Seems like it would be an easy fix😊

You're not the only one. It has been commented on, added to, voted for, merged with similar request, etc. for years!

Fitbit has chosen not to include it in any firmware updates for reasons unknown! It is very frustrating!

[AndrewJolly]

It appears Fitbit pay no attention to any of the requests raised on this
forum. They seem to be more responsive on Twitter but still show no
interest in changing the software - so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting
for a change.

There are issues that were raised 5+ years ago on here and the only action
Fitbit have taken is to refer people back to this forum!

[SunsetRunner]

Please make this happen. For every person voting here you most likely have at least 500 people who aren't the forum who would want the same thing.  This is how you stay ahead of Garmin, apple, etc.  Make it happen or I'm changing in one year to a new one.

[AndrewJolly]

I think they don't care - they seem to sell to people who just want to get
their steps up - people starting out getting active, just walking and
challenging their friends on steps only.

They seem happy to concede the serious fitness tracker market to others
like Garmin.

Also they show no interest whatsoever in customer engagement - and seem to
have created these forums purely as a place for people to keep their
complaints about their project away from social media.

nearly 3 years since this was posted and still under consideration!  come on fit bit, must try harder!

[rsandberg]

Would be nice to be able to modify the 250 step reminder value

This way you could keep on track with step goals easier

Example: for 10k step goal over 12 hour period, Fitbit would remind you over those 12 hours if you haven't taken 833 steps per hour

[LuciaFitbit]

Hi @rsandberg, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. Don't forget to add your vote!

[AndrewJolly]

Hi @LuciaFitbit - please could you outline for the other members of this
forum how many (if any) feature requests have been actioned by FitBit.
Thanks.

[SINTAL18]

Seriously FitBit! It has been YEARS that users have been asking for this
update! The total lack of response is not "customer service," and frankly,
I am not recommending a Fit Bit device to anyone because of this farce of a
community request page.

I need a reminder to move if I have been sitting for more than XX minutes.

For example, if I want a reminder every 35 minutes and I have been sitting since 11:37 then I expect a reminder at 12:12.

This would be a super useful feature to help me understand when I should stand up or move!

I had this feature with my Jawbone fitness tracker.. and I can't believe I can't find this anywhere!

[MTurlo]

I would love to be able to increase the hourly step requirement! Maybe 250 could be the minimum (you can’t select below 250), but allow for personal configuration. I try to do roughly 1k steps/hour, which makes it easier to hit my goal, and I’d love to be able to have this as an option!

[mollyo24]

Would like to decrease it, as I'm very busy during the day and want to just be reminded to get up, walk over to get a drink and sit back down.

[Violetblues1]

Yes please. This should be a given. It should be customizable, up or down.

[Life4me]

I agree, customizing would be great.  I want to know when I have walked X number of steps instead of always looking down at my Fitbit.

[MrsKatG]

I was looking for this setting also.  Disappointed that it doesn't exist.

[Glaaron]

This change is increasingly important with all the information lately about movement throughout the day being so important - 250 an hour at 10 minutes before the hour is really not good nor acceptable.

[Radcliff17]

We would love this feature!

[Rivergoddess]

Yes, I would also like the option to increase my hourly step goal. I vote "Yes" on this too. 

Looks like this has been an ongoing request for 2 years now. I would venture a guess that there are countless others who feel this way but haven't taken the step to request it in the community.

I am suprised they haven't made this change a long time ago.

This has been a hot request for a very long time.  Do you have an update when this functionality will be available? A 10K step per day goal isn't achievable with 250 steps per hour.
