Save previous countdown timer on Charge 5

In the Charge 3, you swipe left, click timer, it shows the previous timer you had set and a start button. You click the previous timer to edit the time, or you can immediately start the existing timer.

In the Charge 5, you swipe around, click timer, it asks how many minutes you want starting on last, then seconds, then you can start, every time.

The Charge 4 would also save the timer value until changed. Seems like a step backwards to lose that functionality

Yes same with me. It saved in charge 2. I did a 2 minute countdown during exercise sessions at gym. It was a really handy function. Why does it reset in charge 5 so that you have to set timer interval each time. Even at the end of the timer it resets. Annoying. looks like it's across the range of fitbits. Seems like a function that was missed when the hardware/software/firmware/owner was changed and all the old team gone.

I've also noticed that when you try and go back to the home screen it pauses the timer. Sure this didn't happen with the charge 2.

Agree, I used the saved countdown timer almost daily.  Would be even better if you could save multiple timers.
