Link Fitbit Silent Alert to Android alarms

I use the Clock app on my Android device to set alarms. What would be mega is if the Fitbit app was able to read alarms set in the Android clock app and sync so that when an alarm is configured in the Clock app, that automatically produces a silent alarm in Fitbit.

Add the option for the Charge 3 to vibrate when an iphone alarm is triggered. Having the ability to have a silent (vibrating) alarm is great but the features available with phone alarms are much greater than the built-in alarms on Fitbit devices. It would be great to be able to set, manage and use alarms in the iPhone alarm clock app and have them notify you by vibrating the Fitbit!

Good idea, thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Which features available with phone alarms would you like to vibrate on the Fitbit device? Keen to hear what others think?

Yes, this is exactly what I need. I have multiple alarms set on my iPhone each day for school pick up, drop off, etc and would love if my Charge 3 would vibrate when the alarm goes off and also be able to stop the alarm on the phone by pressing the Fitbit. Right now, I have to take my phone out of my pocket to stop the alarm. I know I can set alarms on the watch but some days I forget to put it on and then I’d be without my reminders but I always have my phone on me. This function would help me out so much. Thanks!

I totally agree with the silent alarm notifications and alarm dismal being needed. This is my ONLY complaint. I previously had the Alta HR and just received the new Charge 4. I was SO hoping this latest version would allow a link from my Samsung S9+ to turn off alarms when not near my phone. I realize the Charge isn't a smart watch, but convenience wise, similar to phone call notifications and text messages, alarms should be linked as well.

Having this Fitbit to System Alarms would be great!

Commenting here because I literally wanted to set this up.
