Water Tracking on Charge 4

It would really be great if the charge 4 had the option to log my water from the tracker. I know it exists on the versa and other smart watches but it would be a really awesome and helpful feature on the charge 4 tracker as well just like you can track exercise directly from the tracker. Similarly, hydration reminders like reminders to move would be incredibly helpful. The two together would drastically increase reaching hydration goals.

When I click done for a reminder to drink water on my Charge 4, I would like it to add an 8-oz glass of water to my hydration in the Fitbit app on Android.

Provide an app/feature on the Charge 4 to add an 8 oz glass of water to the Android Fitbit app count without having to get my phone to do it.

I would also love an option to log water from the tracker, as well as hydration reminders (similar to the hourly reminders to move during the day). This would be really helpful and make tracking water and staying hydrated that much easier 🙂

Log your calories and water from your Fitbit watch. When you scroll downwards (on charge 4, not sure for other models) and see your stats for each of them, you can tap them and then log. The water numbers can be like when adding an alarm or timer etc and for the calories it would just be the “quick calories” function, with the same number system.

Hi @Jessica.rose, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to tracking water on Charge 4. 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. You can also vote for this other suggestion: Able to log food from the Charge series.

Please add a drink water alert.

Please add the ability to update water intake using the Fitbit Charge 4 itself (in addition to being able to enter on the Fitbit app).

Would it be possible to have the option to quick log water intake directly from the fitbit Charge 4 device?

It could still have the 3 options of 250ml, 500ml and 750ml available from the phone app but you would be able to access the chosen amount by swiping and selecting the volume consumed.

This feature request has been on your board for longer than 1 year, what's the expected delivery date, why does it take so long?  After a year of telling us it's on the pipeline, some of us will get feed-up of waiting and move to a competitors device.

I am also dismayed at the continuing absence of this extremely obvious and simple to implement feature. You have a touch screen, you have apps, you have it on the Versa, what holds you back???? I was super surprised when the recent firmware update didn't include that.

100% agree. Please have an "add water" feature on the tracker.

Hello I have created an account just to comment and vote on this issue. I also purchased the 4 on the assumption that this action was accessible from the tracker. It makes much more sense to be an action to track from the wrist interface especially as you track water intake during exercise while your phone is inaccessible. 
This is a Kay feature that should be developed sooner rather than later. Thank you

I'm adding my name to the list of people who want a water tracker and reminder. Seems like a no brainer!

Please please add this feature! I'd like to add water directly from my Charge 4

I'd like to see this on the Charge 4 and (as mentioned in other places) be able to change the quick action volumes from the current multiples of 250ml.

I would like to log my water intake from my wrist, it seems intuitive that I should be able to log this since I am wearing the device 24/7

Hi @CraigS., thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to log water intake from Charge 4. I've moved it into a similar request. I think that a lot of users would like to have this option on their Fitbit devices. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

100% Agree it's ridiculous to have to get my phone out any time I drink. Fitbit really dropped the ball on us here. I should be able to swipe and tap to log instantly.

I just wanted to bump this. I actually don't care about the tracking of the water quantity but would like to be able to set a reminder like every 30 mins saying take a sip the same way we would get popups at :50 saying how about a few more steps.

desperately need to have water reminder and consumption on charge 4.

I have stage 4 cancer and need reminding about water or my kidneys are going to stop functioning.  I’m not very active and I just forget to drink water during the day but this is impacting on my health hugely.

please can we have the reminder added.  It use to be on my old Fitbit but thinking that can’t of been a charge 4.

I can’t afford a new Fitbit and I can’t afford to not drink enough water during the day.

please add this for me.
