Make a new Fitbit device without display

Some of us still want something very small that we can wear all the time and only charge every five days for so. I don't need another screen.  I had the FitBit Flex 2 and never took it off.  Same with my husband. We need the step tracking for our health insurance and so I don't want to have to take something off and charge all the time. Plus is lasts longer and is just no fuss.  I can EASILY layer with jewelry and I just need something simple.

Yes, I agree. I still wear my Fitbit Flex 2 but I know it’s just a matter of time before it dies. I like that it’s small and has no screen to light up when I sleep. I do not want to wear a full watch to bed. I don’t like anything on my arms when sleeping but the Flex 2 is small enough that it doesn’t bother me. I don’t have to charge it as often as other devices would need to be charged. Please make a new small option like the Flex 2, just a straight up tracker not a watch.

I fully support the suggestions here. A minimalist band with no face, but use of the app to track.

Hello

Looks like their is demand for this feature. I'd certainly still buy a watch-less fitbit - are there any plans to develop this?

Thanks!

Another vote for a Flex with HR tracking. I don't want a smart watch; I have a normal watch for seeing the time. And my phone is never far away, so if I need to check anything else, I can just look at that.

Even better would be a tracker that doesn't need to be on my wrist, but can still track heart rate.

Another vote for a screen less tracker. Like a lot of the other commenters I enjoy wearing watches and feel a bit silly then wearing my Fitbit on the other wrist. 

With no jawbone or Amazon option it really only leaves a whoop or an oura. Would be great to see a Fitbit alternative.

Yes please, another vote for screen less, hopefully thin as a flex 2 with all the other features thank you.

I was considering going from my Fitbit Inspire to a Fitbit Flex 2 until I realised it looks to be no longer supported on the app.
So what choices do I have for a 'no screen' tracker?
A ring, not great when weight training, or a £220+ band and then £30(ish) PM?!
Some people want simple, no screen, accurate trackers, you used to do them......

the amount of people who have been asking for a flex 3 recently is crazy, I wish they would make it! I’m on the same boat as you, I just want a thin screenless band

I 100% agree with this I love the way FitBit does your stats, tried an Apple Watch and came back to FitBit but I really don’t want a screen. How about a survey where we can all vote?  I am searching regularly for a screen less tracker and I have come across a lot of people looking for one  FitBit would so corner the market as there isn’t anything available like it.

Well it looks like my inspire is on its way out. My next tracker will be one without a screen, so let's see if Fitbit listen to these comments and release one!

I can't charge my Inspire HR anymore. It was already for a long time, that it had a defective contact. Sometimes it directly worked to charge it, sometimes it took forever to get a connection to the charger. But now it’s done! It was a good product, that ran longer than I would have expected it to run (almost 5 years) but now I decided that I don't want to wait any longer and backed the RingConn Gen 2 at kickstarter which I'll hopefully get in October.

Good luck to you guys, but I honestly don't think they will come up with a screenless tracker anymore...

Just received a Flex 2 that hubby bought off of Amazon. After trying multiple times to update and sync the device, I did some digging online and found that it is obsolete. No idea how Amazon is still selling these things! And why is Flex 2 still listed in the app when no one can use them now 😆?? Hopefully I can return it and get our money back.

I was really wanting a fitness tracker without a screen to wear with my watches and jewelry! I am not interested in purchasing a smartwatch and prefer classic analog watches. Please bring back a tracker without a display!

@emilyh_Fit_Bit  Amazon acts as a marketplace for many third party retailers. The simplest of Fitbit devices now would be the Inspire 2, which I have. You can have a plain face on it.

I fully agree.

Imagine a sleek, screenless tracker, similar to Whoop, designed for 24/7 wear and continuous health monitoring. Combined with Fitbit Premium, which provides in-depth insights into sleep, stress, and recovery, this could be a powerful tool for users who prefer comfort over screens but still want advanced health data.

Fitbits affordable subscription model gives it a strong competitive edge over brands like Whoop and Oura, which charge higher monthly fees. This idea could position Fitbit as a market leader in this growing segment, offering a product that combines comfort with advanced analytics.

I believe this product has great potential.

Why did you guys stop with the flex 2? There is so much demand for a screenless tracker
