Make a new Fitbit device without display

[texasprescott]

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.

I agree 100%. I actually still wear a Flex 2 for this reason. Please design a new minimalist style with a thin band, which is designed to be worn with a real watch and or stacked with bracelets. I wear a watch and Yurman cable bracelet daily and I want to wear my Fitbit with them,

I like the colored dots showing my progress and the notification alarms, that is all I need. Maybe use the lighted dots more like decoration or small stones? I don’t want watch features or any kind of large face. Just a thin band. I‘d also like to see something more fashionable too that looks like a bracelet. Please look at cable bracelet styles by companies like Charriol, ALOR or Yurman for inspiration. 

Please make it soon, before my 3rd Flex 2 dies!

Yes!! I would die for another flex. Thin, no screen, very no frills but blends in. With Jawbone now shutdown there’s a huge gap in the market. I’m a millennial who likes jewelry and lives in a city. Wearing a fitness tracker (that looks like a fitness tracker) is not for me or my lifestyle. I remember the first Flex, I never took that thing off and it would blend in with my bracelets. Pleeaaase bring it back.

I would a screenless, streamlined device that still has HR tracking. Something that looks like a simple and sleek bracelet.

Edit: Some of my info was in the lower section of the form. Just want to see back some info.

I have two reasons I want this.

1. As other people have mentioned, I like to wear a mechanical watch.

2. I work as a carpenter and my month old Inspire HR is already pretty scratched.

Hi @Droddy, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about developing a screenless device, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here to keep this board organized.

I'm also looking for a screenless and slim fitness tracker with HR. I'm using a watch daily on my left hand, and because of this I would use a tracker on my right hand; I would not need another screen and it needs to be a slim model (looks more like a wrist band/"bracelet")

I would like to have a device that is not a watch, but just a band with a device so I can wear a regular watch on one arm and this device on the other (or same whatever). I hate to compare to competitors, or other companies, but something like the device whoop offers is what I am looking for, but continue to use it with the fitbit app.

Yes!!! They used to have several versions without display, but now they are all discontinued. I would gladly pay just as much for the discontinued Flex 2 as I would for one of their current models that I have no interest in buying.

I wear analog watches and jewelry on my arm and I don't care for smart watches.... I have my phone for that. Everything doesn't need to have a digital display and sometimes less is more! 

[jessiejames180]

I am also looking for a screenless tracker. I have my normal watch that I wear daily. And do not need another screen. 

[Deko1]

Google, are you listening? We’ve been telling first Fitbit and now you about a missing device in your lineup. There is demand for a screenless tracker, like the Flex.

Please make one that is stylish, simple and slim...no screen. Unisex or 2 sizes. I personally like the lights, too. The new Luxe is good but still too much for someone who wears a watch and other bracelets or someone who works with their hands and might damage the screen. Make it, we’ll buy it.

I very rarely look at my Fitbit screen. I actually have a very expensive watch which I wear on one wrist, and a Charge 4 on the other wrist. Looks a bit weird and unnecessary. I was looking at the Oura Ring. No display but high functionality. What I would love from Fitbit is a fitness band or bracelet, with no display, Smartphone readout only.

Fully agreed.  And the band could be constructed from carbon fibre, rubber, or some other interesting material.

I am very much in favour of this as well! I used to wear my Flex2 on a daily basis (until it died on me last week with no similar alternatives from fitbit) because of the ease to wear it with my accessories and watches. I do not need a tracker that mimics a smartwatch. What I need and want is a tracker with the ability to track the essential health information accurately and yet isn't bulky or an eyesore on my wrist, especially when I'm wearing a dress watch and bracelets/bangles. A tracker with NO screen is what we need.

[SunsetRunner]

A Fitbit that looks like a Whoop or even the Amazon Halo would be a huge win in my book. It's exactly what I want.

I am not going to give up my Apple Watch. But I'm also not going to wear a second fitness tracker on the other hand.

[ajkrouse]

A lot of people prefer fitness trackers without a display and want the tracker to look like a simple, elegant wristband that you can wear in your daily life without other people even noticing you're wearing a fitness tracker. I currently wear a nice wristwatch and my Flex on the other wrist but would love an updated Flex w/out a screen to distract.

[YojanaFitbit]

Hi @ajkrouse, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to get fitness trackers without a display. I've moved it into a similar request. I think that a lot of users would like to have this option on their Fitbit devices. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

I too would love a tracker without a display. I have worn the Flex tracker and all of the Charge trackers. The Charge 4 is so impractical to use as a watch and as a mechanism for seeing my stats, since the display does not always behave the same. 

I would prefer to have a tracker that is a very streamlined band (very similar to a certain competitor's tracker - but was discontinued). I will review my stats on the Fitbit app (which I like) on my smartphone. 

I like how the battery technology has improved by the way. I only need to charge my Charge about once a week.

If there had to be a small display, like on the Flex, for example, I would like it to be easily set to show one reading. Heart rate, steps or time.

I would like a waterproof Fitbit with HRM which looks like a bracelet without a screen. 

[sorin7486]

I would love a fitbit without a display that looks more like a bracelet. I want to wear a mechanical watch as well sometimes and it's rather strange to wear two  watches at the same time.

[ionutRa]

I like my simple quartz watches and I want to wear them. I used to have a Flex that i wore until it's battery was depleted. Then I bought a Charge 4. I never liked that I can't use my wratch anymore. Now I lost the charger, and I started wearing my watch, and I am thinking about giving up my tracker for good. Any plan to remake the Flex series?

When will you bring out a new flex? With no face, just a simple band.
