Have my Fitbit alert me when the Bluetooth connection to my phone is lost. This would keep me from leaving my phone somewhere accidentally or not realizing it's not with me when I leave work or home.

Fitbit should alert when your phone goes out of range. How does this not exist in the year 2022? I'll be moving to Garmin.

Hello Fitbit Team,

I have Versa 2 and really love new update with find my phone. I would like to ask you add one more feature to that app. An "Out of range" reminder. I would just like a simple reminder on my Versa 2 that
vibrates and displays "PHONE ???" to let me know I've lost contact with my phone. It does not have to happen immediately.

"Bluetooth Disconnection Notice" on Watch and Phone, a setting to enable/disable vibration/sound on BOTH watch and Phone. When phone and watch are too far away and break Bluetooth connection, get notifications, so users don't forget their watch or phone someplace. (Bar/restaurant/gym/car).
