Longer call alarm/vibration options for Charge 3

[ggamdong]

When I got a phone call, charge 3 vibrate twice only.

It is too short for me to notice the call.

Even the vibration of charge 3 is much weaker than my old charge HR.

I suggest fitbit provide more options such as

1. Twice

2. 5 times

3. Continuous alarm with silence option by pushing the button on charge 3

And it will be better if I can set the level of vibration.

I seem to be in the minority regarding the strength of the vibration on the Charge 3. I have mine set on the strongest setting and still can miss the hourly reminder to move. It either needs to be stronger or possibly a longer vibration. I do love the new Charge 3.

@Karen999 Thanks for taking the time to share your idea with us. This could be helpful for some users. Keen to hear what others think?

[mtneedle]

Agree. I would like it to be stronger. I, too, miss the notice, and have my Charge3 set on strong.

[ggamdong]

I found that I can change the level of vibration.

But it is still weak.
Anyway longer notification is essential.

Hey @ggamdong! Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think about having longer call alarm/vibration options for Charge 3.

I agree, the vibration strength is not enough to alert me most times. I was hoping the Charge 3 vibration, at least on “strong”, would equal the strength of my old Charge HR, which was great and very noticeable. I’m totally disappointed with my Charge 3 as I also was with my Charge 2. I also see no difference in the “normal” and “strong” settings as both are very weak.

I’d like a longer vibrate on the charge 3. I use it swimming and have missed a call, easily done unfortunately. Love the watch but please extend the vibrate for calls. Thank you

Thank you for submitting this suggestion. I wish too, that the vibration was stronger on the Charge 3 particularly, for the silent alarm. Even set on strong, the alarm is too faint to wake me up. I had a Charge HR and the alarm was perfect. It always woke me up. Please Fitbit, would it be possible to increase the strength/length of the vibration/alarm?

Good idea that could be useful, thanks for taking the time to share it with us @Rachscotty!  We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

It’d be useful for me 👍
Thank you for responding.

I completely agree.  Extra vibrate strength or settings would be great.    I have vibrate set to strong and all I get is a short single gentle buzz.  I barely notice it.  A higher setting, or multiple vibrates, or a second reminder vibrate if I ignore the first one.  Right now one short soft buzz isn't helping me wake up or get up from my desk.    I need a bit more annoyance to get me moving.

Yes, I was just writing up one to suggest this.  I use the alarm to get up for the gym in the morning so I don't wake my partner.  I don't feel it.  I sleep right through it.  I've actually been late for work one day as a result of not feeling the silent alarm.  I love the idea of being able to set the intensity and length of the alarms!

It would be nice if the call notification would vibrate continuously until it's either answered or goes to voicemail instead of vibrating only twice. This would permit the user of not missing a call. This is a feature commonly fond on other smart watches like the Samsung Galaxy watch. It could be nice as well if we could adjust these settings in the app as well. Would this be possible to have in a future update?

Working at night on call with my wife everytime I get a call I need to put the phone on "ringing". If I could put the charge 3 on continous vibration (I know it would drain battery faster, but I would consider charging it more if I had this feature) I would not wake her up every time I get a call.

[Ivanchan]

This option is very useful 

[LinseNL]

I would also love it if the charge would be able to vibrate more and longer .

[Amsp]

Please add this! 

[toysoldier]

 This would be a very useful feature. Very much in favour of this.

Please deliver this feature Fitbit... 🙂

I would like to have an option to extend the duration of Versa 2 notifications of calls and text messages.  1, 5 , 10, 20 seconds or until dismissed, etc, would be very helpful. Currently the time is too short. I am not concerned with battery use since I would have the ability to control the option.

[Lunar_Jetman]

I would like to be able to customize vibrations on my Versa 3 to give wider options for alerting other than just light and strong.

Hi @Karen99, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to set stronger and longer vibration on Charge 3. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Hi,

My request is for the Versa 3 not the Charge 3.

Kind regards,

Hello guys,

I also need this feature, Versa 3 and Charge3/4.

@YojanaFitbit what is the status on this feature ?

[SunsetRunner]

I also need this on Charge 3/4 for my work and oncall shifts.

@MarcelBK any updates ?
