Longer vibration for reminders to move

Reminder to Move needs option to vibrate like an alarm! Especially when I am typing on keyboard, I cannot even feel a single quick vibration. Too easy to miss! (Yes, my vibration is already set to strong.)

@LizzyFitbit I am not looking for stronger vibration, I'm looking for longer. My Charge 3 is already set to the strong vibration, so stronger is not possible for my current device. But you can certainly update the firmware or app to allow me specify the type of notification I get for Reminders to Move. I need to have a series of long vibrations, and even better, I would like to have to manually dismiss it to make it stop, like an alarm.

@LizzyFitbit  Please Change the title back to what it was originally, since I want longer, not stronger.

Hi @JoeSchmoe2. Thanks for clarifying that you'd like to have a longer vibration for the reminders to move. I've edited the title so it can reflect the correct idea. Thanks again for participating in Feature Suggestions board and keep adding your suggestions!

I'd like a longer/ stronger one.  The vibration on the Charge 5 isn't nearly as strong as the one on the Charge 4...

 

Also, I'd like a repeat alarm after 5 minutes if you haven't moved.  Sometimes when the 10 minute buzz comes I'm in the middle of typing something, and I completely forget about it.  If another buzz came, I'd probably move.

I agree.

I would like that as well. I want a longer & stronger vibration on my Charge 4.
