Naming/Labeling Alarms

[armen]

Hello,

Wouldn't it be nice if you allow us to name the silent alarms? For example: an alarm to wake up, one to drink water, food, one to remind me of something such as an important meeting, etc...

Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Best regards,

That will be helpful and the display may reflect it

Please make this happen soon!  I love the vibrating alert and this feature would make it so much more useful! 

[Rokki]

I would like the option to name my alarms.

[AlexeiZverev]

Good idea, really need it.

[Vonny29]

I'd like to be able to NAME the silent alarm... So it flashes work or doctors or meeting etc... Instead of it just flashing up the time.

[Vonny29]

That's a great idea ... Should be easy enough to do if the iPhone can name an alarm and notify you.

[Jenerative]

This would be a great feature.  I need it to remind me to take my vitamins and other medications eat fruits and Vegitables etc.  Motivate me to get to the Gym.  

[AirWalker]

This would be very helpful for me as well - "pick [person] up" or "leave for meeting".

[AirWalker]

Same here!  Also voted it up in a newer (November 2015) thread that I saw before seeing this one.

Jawbone has this feature, and I really miss it after switching to FitBit. Please can we enable named silent alarms?

@Nick20401 I like this idea. Having the option to set up and alarm with a message or reminder on it is awesome. That way users will be more organized when performing any kind of activities like cooking dinner, going to the grocery shop, picking up the children, taking a pill, walking the dog, etc.  It can be set up to vibrate and at the same time to display the reminder. Hopefully this will be implemented in the nearest future. Let's keep voting for this idea!

Dear community member,
I was thinking about adding an interesting feature on our charge hr. We have alarm and id call. what about notification for reminders? It would be great feel that vibration in order to remeber my meeting or things to do daily.

Able to set reminders for things like meetings or when to go on a run or any other useful things to be reminded of.

To be able to set reminders for meetings and other things would make life much easier!

[RoseMaryT]

This would be so fantastic :double_exclamation_mark:

[Sirr_13]

I think it would be cool if you could put text on the silent alarm and also if there could be text notifications or snapchat notifications

[surfj9009]

 This would be amazing. I currently struggle trying to remember to take all the medications I now need due to my medical contitions. I have to take meds 5 times a day now and I have a hard time remembering which ones to take a t what times. It would be so amazing if I could set reminders through the dashboard or app that would remind me on my Surge at the right time which med to take. 

This is an improvement I rate above all other suggestions for the common sense functionality it would proved each user on a customized basis.

Seconf choice would be to be able to control playback of the Vimeo app on my iPhone similarly to the way music is controlled.

But yes......This should be an essential upgrade, as well as some watch face screen that at least has a seconds indication.

This feature absolutely needs to be added. Here's why:

I sit at a desk all day and forget to drink water. I would love to set alarms every hour or so and have the message "Water?" display on my Charge HR face prompting me to drink water.

Also, if this was added to the API it would open up a ton of useful featers for 3rd party developers.

Let's get more votes on this!!

Hey Fitbit!

There's a feature on my Charge HR I'd really like to see! Can you work on the ability to display words with alarms so we can see the reminder by a label? For example, I have an alarm that goes off to remind me to take my vitamin. So instead of a momentary blank look on my face and a short thought process... it'd be super duper to see "Vitamin" on the screen instead of a flashing bell icon.

Additional examples of things I use the alarm feature for... "workout",  "Medicine", "Walk the Dog", etc.

That would be amazing. Please and thank you!

Have the ability to rename your alarm so that when it goes off, it will tell you what the alarm is for on your Fitbit. The Charge already has the ability to show names when calls come in. Simply have it display the name of the alarm like "Take meds" or "Drink Water" or "Walk Around the Room."

[justinaprice]

Please! All has been said. Please implement this. The device can obviously scroll text, it should be able to tell me why my arm is vibrating.

[HBourque]

I completely agree. I was searching for how to label alarms and was disappointed to see that this can't already be done. Labelling alarms would help customers to make the most of the features. E.g 'drink water'

[Zekiepoo]

Any update on this?

[ilikecats]

I have a new idea for the FitBit devices.

I have a ChargeHR, and I want the alarms for the fitbit to be able to show me words on the screen. When I set an alarm, I like the strong vibrations but could I personalize it to say "Good Morning" across the little screen when the alarm goes off also?

Also, could we set smaller alarms thoughout the day for workout reminders? Like the small vibration we get when we hit our step count goal -- could we set that same vibration to go off with whatever we want to remind ourselves. Such as setting an alarm to say "drink water" 3x a day. 

I feel like the second idea would REALLY help me reach my fitness goals if I could remind myself to do more or eat healthier.
