Smart alarm (only goes off if fitbit is being worn)

I have an alarm to wake me up in the morning. But if I wake up before the alarm goes off and take off the fitbit to take a shower, the alarm goes off several times when I am not wearing it. Could you add a feature to detect the band id not being worn (because the heart rate tracking goes flat, and it stops moving) and then silence the alarm? It should help the devices battery last longer and be less anoying when it goes off and I am not wearing it. Thanks

Fitbit is intelligent enough to know if we are awake or asleep.

So, incase we are fully awake, the silent alarm should not go off.

There could be two types of alarms. One called Wakeup alarms that will only go off when asleep.

The other, reminder type of alarms can go off irrespective of if we are asleep or awake.

I dont have a Fitbit One and have no comment. But my suggestion can be implemented in any device.

Ahh! I see. A section to add reminders and a section to set up alarms to wake you up in the morning. Good thinking. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a charge HR, a surge, and a flex. It would be nice to have this feature instead of having to turn on (and off) vibration alarms when it is not in use. Thank you!

I totally love the idea to silence the alarm when I am not wearing my Fitbit tracker, this could help everybody to save battery, as you said!
