First fitbit (Charge 5) lasted just over a year, then developed the fitbit logo error, could not work around, fix or update. Fitbit #2 (Charge 6) died suddenly and without warning after 4 months. Tried all the recommended fixes. No joy. I'm done with fitbit. There are other options for less money.

The Fitbit Charge 6 already supports media controls (play/pause/skip) over Bluetooth. I’m requesting an official Camera Remote + Presets feature that allows users to trigger the Pixel camera with quick-launch buttons and optionally set custom photo/video presets (ISO, resolution, focus, zoom ratio). This would bring big convenience for creators,

The battery icon is small and the percentage written in tiny grey text (unreadable to me). Please make this bold and white to consider the visually impaired. Thank you.

Fitbit products have never been the most durable but their support and warranty were phenomenal. Since Google bought the company, the support is terrible. I logged a case about my fitbit not syncing. After spending an hour with the support tech, the device was non-functional. Since, I get no help and no commitment as to when I might get help.

Please add an option for longer or repeated call vibrations on the Charge 6. Right now, it only vibrates twice, making it easy to miss calls. A simple setting to extend or repeat vibrations would be very helpful. Thanks!

I need quick access to countdown on my charge 6, and ability to reset the timer during the alarm, as I want to time my stretches during a warmup without a long time spent finding and then resetting the countdown every time. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label

It would be very nice to have a setting on the watch that allows us to disable it to notify us when the phone is unlocked/being actively used.

Google has released the new "Find my Device" dashboard, but Fitbit Charge devices are not supported. Now, if even a Bluetooth speaker like JBL Flip 6 can make it, I believe time has come for Fitbit devices (starting with Charge 5 and 6) to be tracked for safety / retrieval purposes.

Make a setting to depict the time without having to hit a button.. great for battery but its not practical if you have both hands occupied and need to know the time. Thanks Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

If a kid puts their watch on DND, they won't receive any calls or texts from their parent until they manually turn it off. Moderator Edit: Updated label

The Versa 4 allows a long press / press and hold functionality using the side button Would be great if the Charge 6 could allow this It would be great to activate the water lock? Press and hold side button for 3 seconds to activate / deactivate water lock. Moderator edit: Clarified subject

Please give the option to remove "View your daily readiness score on your tracker" from the watch. If we are not a premium subscriber, we have no need for this spam on the watch. Moderator edit: Clarified subject and updated label

To prevent any unwanted damage to the battery of the Charge 6: provide an option to turn off the Charge 6 e.g. via menu option or key (combination).

mikey_pdx · ‎11-15-2023

On the Charge 6, and I think this was the same on the 5, you cannot enable "Exercise Focus" to turn off notifications during exercise unless you enable Do Not Disturb. The Exercise Focus setting should not require DND to be enabled, since it should be conditional on using the Exercise app on the device. Moderator edit: Clarified subject

tr3c00l · ‎10-17-2023

I am just testing out the Charge 6 and I am missing a feature that every smartwatch had so far: Logging my water intake. Why can I only do that in the app and not on the Charge 6? I've read that this was a feature in older Charge generations - why was that taken out?

daveh82 · ‎04-17-2023

It should be possible to turn off the Bluetooth function of the Charge 5 when traveling by plane. See e.g. British Airways: https://www.britishairways.com/cms/global/pdfs/handheld-devices-used-onboard_Dec14.pdf "All Bluetooth accessories [...] must remain switched off for taxi, take-off and landing" Currently, it is not possible to be compliant.

BelleFace · ‎04-08-2023

Emojis in the emoji/quick reply menu are tiny on Charge 5.

coder82 · ‎02-26-2023

I am aware of the night mode feature that disables the auto-wake of the screen upon turning the wrist. However, I am suggesting another option to allow the auto-wake to stay enabled, but automatically turn down the brightness to the lowest setting for nighttime scenarios ideally based on sunset/sunrise times or by manually setting the time.

Please include a cadence calculator to add to a run session - and to be able to see it while running to keep cadence up and reduce heel strike running and injuries etc..

anhickey · ‎01-26-2023

I want to use my Google Wallet on Charge 5 because my bank is not supported with Fitbit Pay. Also, I already use Google Wallet.

Schultza · ‎01-22-2023

Please do not discontinue bands for older models! I have had a Charge 4 for 2 years that works perfectly, but the band broke, and bands from Amazon fell apart in less than a month.

wildjuly · ‎11-11-2022

I'm sorry to bring this up, but the Apple Watch Ultra has the "action button," where you can press it and it starts a preselected exercise shortcut. I'm thinking you could hold the sides of your Charge 5 for about 5 seconds, and it would start an exercise (Like a run or bike), that you set in the Fitbit App.

Go back to allowing quick-view to be disabled. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

Manneman · ‎08-05-2022

It Fitbit got back to basic. We want great GPS accuracy, great battery life, great heart rate readings, great connectivity with our devices. And no more cool hip usless features. Moderator edit: Clarified subject and updated label

mohd16 · ‎05-29-2022

All the other clock faces can be displayed in the 24 hour format, but as soon as I switch to the retro clock face it displays in the 12 hour format, even though the 24 hour option is selected in settings... Could an update to fix this issue be implemented?

Mahoo1960 · ‎05-18-2022

Provide the ability to SHUT DOWN Charge 5 when not in use.

moonchicago · ‎04-28-2022

Can you please have an audible alarm beep or a bell sound to the watch for alarms and or notifications? Now, I cant use the AMAZING 8 alarm feature without being buzzed all the time. Cellphones do that already. I need an audible alarm! Ideally, we could choose sound or vibration for any activity, notifications... Moderator Edit: Clarified subject

Altimeter to the next charge version Moderator edit: Clarified subject and updated label

stevefal · ‎03-29-2022

1. In standby mode where 1-tap is valid for display, ignore any tap within N milliseconds of actuation by one tap. A proposed value for N might be 2X the 2-tap timeout. 2. In clock mode, disable 2-tap detection. Moderator Edit: Clarified subject
