Is there any way that we could add/delete alarms from the actual watch?

Thanks for your suggestion @RyanDharwadker. It would be a good addition for Fitbit Inspire, I hope it gets many votes.

It would be nice if you could set silent alarms from the Inspire HR Tracker.

Hi @JoChris05! This is a great idea and thanks for sharing that you'd like to set alarms directly from your Inspire HR. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. Don’t forget to click on the thumbs-up to show your support!

I think it would be extremely useful to be able to set simple, one-time (non-repeating) alarms directly on the Inspire / Inspire HR / Inspire 2. The UI for selecting a time could be similar to the UI for selecting a time in the sleep mode interval settings.

Hi @tomfhowe , thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to set alarms from Fitbit Inspire series. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

@YojanaFitbitThank you! I did search before posting, but I didn't find this one. I think it would be a very useful feature which might not be too hard to implement, since a lot of parts of it already exist in the featureset / UI of the device.

I also would love this feature!  Unfortunately my account can't vote on anything.

The ability to schedule and set reminders on the fly simply from my fitbit would be a game changer for me! It's quite frustrating to alway have to open up the app on my phone and wait for the alarms to sync to my fitbit. Would be super stoked if this feature was added! 😁

I have just purchased an Inspire 2. I previously had an original Inspire and I was able to set a new silent alarm on the original Inspire WITHOUT going to the app.

 

Why did I lose that ability with the Inspire 2? Shouldn't they be adding features without removing other important features?

I have voted for this Feature Suggestion!

I want to be able to set a daily alarm up on my watch. I need to take medication at the same time every day. I just assumed this Inspire had that ability. Very disappointed.

Hi @basteper, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about the possibility of setting up recurring alarms directly from the Inspire 2 watch. This option is currently available only from the Fitbit app, but it'd be great to be able to do it from the scree of the Inspire 2. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here, this helps to keeps the boards more organized. Make sure to add your vote as well to support this suggestion, this helps the team of developers to keep track of popularity and demand over time.

 

Thank you again for your participation in the Community!

It sure would be nice of Fitbit to add this option.
