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,

Update software to include ability to name alarms. My sons generics cheapo time sucker does it. Apple does it. Community boards have been mentioning it for several years. @ Fitbitsupport redirected back here. I would love to upgrade my son to a Fitbit. But this is a MUST have feature. How are u suppose to know what the alarm is for. If it’s not named?

I would like to see the Alarm app have labels similar to my Android phone. I take medications several times a day. I would like to see the medicine name along with the alarm...

Thanks,

Dan Ellis

Wouldn't it be nice we could customize or name the silent alarms? The usability will increase tremendously and water/medication reminders could also be incorporated easily. Please look into it.

There are 2 features that I think are quite essential to the alarms app:

1.  The vibrations during an alarm and the use of an automatic "snooze" function should be customizable, it should not stop after only a few vibrations.  

2.  There should be an option to have the alarm turn off only after a certain number of steps have been taken, to ensure you're getting up to turn off your alarm.

Please add an option to have a tweet length line of text display on screen with the 8 silent alarms so you have a text reminder of what each alarm is for.

The vibration feature when the alarm time comes is really amazing. And the ability to create several alarms is also great. However, would it be possible to add the option to name the alarm and the name shows up on the band when it rings. For example, I need to take some medicine at a fixed time every day. It would be great if I could name that alarm « take medicine ». Thank you

Hello @momali, thanks for taking the time to share your idea with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your idea into this one. Even the current status is in "currently not planned", you can give kudos by clicking on the thumbs up button.

Just received my long awaited Charge 3.  Getting familiar with setting and using the silent alarms.  Besides the glitch you guys are already aware of and working (alarms not going off as set), it would be GREAT to be able to give the alarm a short name.

Hey @AlisaHD I also merged your suggestion with this one. Thank you for sharing your idea.

My child has ADHD which leads to poor organisational skills and a lack of awareness of the passing of time. A Fitbit would be great as it can be set to buzz when there are periods of inactivity, but I also need alarms. Currently we set alarms on her iPhone eg to remember to attend her music lesson in school or take her meds but I would like to get her a Fitbit or similar product that would scroll a message rather than just alarm as she cannot always have her phone on her.

I want a reminder app that will vibrate to remind me when to do something. I want to be able to name each reminder alarm so I know what each is for

Please let us name silent alarms, just 1 or 2 words for reminder!

No need to create new app,  easy modification, 20$ Xiaomi Band has this feature.

Please consider an update to the Versa watch that would allow us to name the alarms we set. It would be helpful to have the name of the alarm when it goes off. When I am at work I would benefit from having the name as a reminder.

Hello @Salentine! Thanks for sharing this suggestion, I moved it to this similar post so you can add your vote to it. Please keep sharing your ideas with us!

I recently purchased a blood pressure wrist cuff. Can something similar be developed for fitbit where you rotate the fitbit face from sitting on the outside of your wrist to the inside of your wrist and the watch band is also a cuff?

Since the alarms on my phone can't sync with my Versa, it would at least be nice to be able to name the alarms, so that they don't all say 'look alive'......

On setting alarm give the option to name to the alarm which will serve as a reminder.

I have scheduled alarm in my Fitbit charge 3 but i don't know for what reason i have kept it . If it display  type or name of alarm that would help people to catch it easily.
