We really need this feature. And i need to find that watch face until then 😁 

[Llmgtab]

The face I am using is Beacon by BV Design.

[ultra-battery]

Thank you 😁 

[tomcgraves]

It's called Essential Watch by BV Designs. I think it's the best, even
besides this feature.

[BigBowzer]

Which watch face has it???

[tomcgraves]

Essential Watch by BV Designs. It is an awesome clock face - it shows the
temperature and power level along with seconds.

The Clock Face is as it came to me with the time only showing. I tried to
follow the instructions. I was able to download a Versa 2 user manual, but
I found it lacking in clear instructions.
I do have a 2 year old fitbit that came set up.
I guess I need to spend more time to get this set up.

[BigBowzer]

Thank you! I will look for it 🙂

My versa 2 is very helpful at work but I walk around a lot and would love a feature that would notify me when I go out of range. It would also help when I run out the door in the morning and forget my phone. My Fitbit would vibrate so I would be able to run back in the house to get my phone before it's too late to go back and get it.

When linked phone is out of range it should give me short vibration.

I am wondering if I can suggest Fitbit to add an alarm to alert us when we are a certain distance away from our mobile devices.

Introduction of an application that will notify you about a broken connection with the phone when you put it away. It can also be an alarm that someone has stolen our phone.

Have Fitbit notify when get too far from connected phone. So if you too far and it disconnects from Bluetooth you get notification which probably means you’ve left your phone and the notification will notify you and you can retrieve it.

I had a Samsung S2, i decided to go with the fitbit versa 3. The only feature I think it is lacking from my S2 is the ability to notify me when my phone has lost a connection with my watch - meaning it is too far away. This was a great reminder that I didn't have my phone on me as I was leaving the house. It was a single vibrate.

Please implement an alert for when the connection to the smartphone is lost (out of range).
