Set Alarms From Mobile App Dashboard

The feature to set or change an alarm is three levels deep in the iOS app. I'd like to see a tile on the dashboard or an icon on the lower tab/toolbar to quickly set silent alarms.

If possible allow to set alarms on the tracker itself? Cat Embarassed

It took me a few days to fall in love with my new Alta but fall in love I have. "But" I'd love to see a few enhancements. The reminders to move are nice but what would be much more useful to me is a custom reminder. I can think of two ways that could work, there may be more,
First, is I could edit the text of the reminder to something like "I'm thirsty, Lets drink some water." That wouldn't work so well for what I really need, though, even though I also need to remember to stay hydrated.
Second, since my Alta can display the beginning of a text message and can "alarm" I'm hoping it would be possible to add a label feature to the silent alarms. Right now I have an alarm set for noon. Why? I have been known to become so engrossed in a project I forget to eat. So, at noon, my tracker buzzes and displays "12:00PM". I'd like to be able to enter text when I set the alarm that will display instead of the time. Something like "lunch time" or "getting late" or "pick up grandkids". A limited number of characters is fine. I have a reminder app now that texts reminders but all I get on my Alta is the number and sender then the first character or two of the reminder text. This one feature would help me so very much.
It would also be helpful to be able to change the frequency of the automatic reminder.

It really annoys me everyday that I have to go 3 levels deep to set/unset the alarms. It would be great to have an option on the dashboard to go directly to the alarms.

I cannot find alarms on iOS and total pain trying to remove or setup an alarm on the watch not impressed at all everything else on the Fitbit is great

Sorry @Total-sence but many users where upset that Fitbit, unlike a regular watch has no way of setting an alarm from the wrist. Instead Fitbit required the app and an Internet connection. Let's say the user has no Internet, it will be impossible to set an alarm.
