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,

This is a great idea.  We should be able to set various goal alarms and alter them.  Why is steps the only thing with an alarm?

[vadhopper]

I so agree!  There are days when I hike when 10,000 steps is a joke (usually hit 30,000), then other days when 10,000 steps is a true goal!  What you can do on any particular day changes - depending on your situation. 

And I also think we should have alarms and changable goals for flights of steps!

I was thinking the same thing the other day. Personalised alarms would make things easier if you have several during the day, so you know which is which. Should be easy enough to develop too.

Any new updates on this? Is this the formal thread for the feature request? If not, where is that thread? This was the thread that kept coming up. A simple customizable note assigned to an alarm would make a huge difference (say a 20 character limit or so). Hugely popular request. Seems like it should be relatively simple to implement (new products have come out in the meantime), and would be enormously helpful for folks who need a reminder of why we set that reminder. Thanks.

Would be great to put a label on the alarms on My Charge, simple things like using the alarm to remind you of things during the day, would be handy to have a label on each alarm.

[Scratz77]

Agree, I think this is a great idea!

[SantiR]

I think this idea is great! It would be really awesome to have personalized messages on the alarms. That way we can see and remember the reason why we set up the alarm or better yet, if it is a wake up alarm we can put motivational messages on them to start the day the best way possible. Of course it will have to have a limited number of characters, but we can manage our messages with that. Let's keep voting for this idea so we can see it implemented in the nearest future!

This is a duplicate Feature request:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/Alarm-Message/idi-p/923962

Can we combine the two to get more votes??

Is there any update on this feature request? I see it was original requested 1 year ago.

I use the alarm function on my Charge HR to remind me of other things and would really love it if there was a way to mKe it so the display could provide a visual/textual reminder when the alarm goes off. Just as the display reports the name of the contact calling; I'd like it to scroll short phrases. Like "eat" or "supplements" "finish water yet?" Ten characters would probably be more than enough.

[PamEnamel]

PLEASE let us label the alarms!  Just having it flash the time at me is not enough.  I have the Charge HR and I know it can do more since it displays who is calling when I get a phone call.   A short text feild when setting alarms should not be a stretch.  It does not need to be very many characters to say things like "Dentist Appt" or "Take Meds"  or whatever.  

[Heavyevy]

one feature i love on the CHARGE HR is that i can set some alarms... if it is to wake me up, then it is clear, i know why it is buzzing, but if it is to remind me of something... only buzzing is not clear at all, since it doens't display why it is buzzing.

So, dear Fitbit, would it be possible to add at least a word in the alarm configuration, so we can  be reminded of what we were supposed to be reminded 🙂

[SunsetRunner]

A short message with the alarm would be helpful. For example, a message to wake up or it is time to take medicine, etc.

[SunsetRunner]

Yes please.

I would like to have custom duration for alarms on the Blaze.  Since I imagine that the vibration strength is a limitation of the hardware, a longer vibration or perhaps a staccato burst of vibration might make it easier to wake up in the morning.  But it would be nice to choose between different vibration types - for example if i set an alarm to remind me to do something and it is not a sleep alarm, I would not need the longer vibration.

Hi Community,

I am not sure if I can request a feature here; however, I would love to be able to add text or notes to my Alarm's. For example, if I set an alarm for 7.30pm everyday, I would love to add a note "Take Tablet" which would show up on the Fitbit Charge HR screen like the caller ID. 

Hope there are others out there that would find this useful!

Thanks

[scifwriter73]

It would really be great to be able to have a label on the alarms. I know I can kind of do this by creating a calendar entry and setting a reminder. But what if I want a time based alert to go off even if my phone isn't around? This would be really helpful!

[Tdd28139]

It's great to have my Fitbit HR buzz my arm when it's time to do something; however I think it would be beneficial to have a small message scroll across the scream to remind you of what you set the alarm for. That'd be pretty handy

[Tdd28139]

Screen* oops. Lol

[Fitkr1st1]

I'd love to be able to edit the message "Look alive" that pops up when the Blaze vibrates. I like that message for waking up, however, I also use my alarm feature to remind me to do things throughout the day. It would be nice to be able to type in an alarm "name" like you can do in the iPhone timer app.

[SunsetRunner]

That be wonderful

[emma19911]

The ability to set a name to an alarm.
Like if someone has to take meds at a certain time they can change it to that (helpful for forgetful people)

[Dybs]

There are comments that are years old regarding this feature suggestion and nothing has been done about it.  The moderator wrote that they shared this with the developers over a year ago and still nothing.  This is an easy addition.  If the developers won't do it, then there should be a response here from them stating why they won't.  My son needs a reminder for when to take his medication and the fitbit is a perfect way for him to receive a reminder, but not effective if there is no readout.

I would like to set reminders in the Fitbit app as the same idea as silent alarms. I would like it so you can change what it says and what time the reminder is set for in the app. I would also love to see silent alarms remind you for something while in the morning.

Thanks.

Custom name alarms - YES PLEASE!
