I have a standing desk and it important to me very much as my fitbit charge 2 currently has no differentiation between me standing and sitting, which seems bizarre. I used to have xiaomi 2 and all of the functions are the same, it will be interesting in terms of accuracy if this is the case.

The differentiating factor is the standinve vs sitting which xiaomi doesn't have but apple watch does. I stand almost 8 hours a day at my desk which is why I dropped the Xiaomi for fitbit. It is my problem I know as should have read the directions more clearly. Tech wise is this something you can add? Or would you recommend another model if I need this service please?

Some of us still want something very small that we can wear all the time and only charge every five days for so. I don't need another screen.  I had the FitBit Flex 2 and never took it off.  Same with my husband. We need the step tracking for our health insurance and so I don't want to have to take something off and charge all the time. Plus is lasts longer and is just no fuss.  I can EASILY layer with jewelry and I just need something simple.

I like the vibrate when you reach your goal feature, but would like to see it go a little further. I don't run with headphones so it would be nice to have a setting option for it to vibrate at miles or minutes chosen rather than a voice que.

It would be great if the bezels on the smartwatches could be smaller (totally removed!).  Instead of needing room for the "Fitbit" on the screen of the ionic it could be moved down to either the metal part on the top or bottom. 

Larger screens would be helpful for:

A) fitting more on the screen for apps

B) putting a bigger font for those with bad eyes or if one is exercising

As far as idea/suggestions go how about this:

an ambient temperature sensor.

rationale being the outside temperature when it gets very cold will cause a higher caloric burn.

Being a gym go’er/weightlifter, I never bought a Fitbit because it never really seemed useful to me. I want something that can automatically track not only my reps but the weight that I am lifting. Gym equipment manufacturers have yet to solve this problem and I would like to see Fitbit do it. I know its possible because I almost came  up with the solution but lack the necessary skill set to perfect it, so I’m sure Fitbit can think of something!!

Please make a luxe 2. I love the beautiful classy watch type look of it and it performs much better than when I had the inspire models. I think the charge and inspire models look ugly and too sporty.

I would like to see real time steps per minute.

It would be particularly useful for my favorite activity, outdoor stair climbing, but would also be of interest to speed walkers and joggers.

I'd pay for an Android Wear app to run a Fitbit Tracker on my Android Wear watch.  Fitbit leads the way when it comes to fitness and sleep tracking, but falls short on phone interaction. I would like to participate in the challenges between my family members, but I'm not purchasing and wearing an additional device to do so. I would, however, pay for an app to install on my watch to allow this. I have 2 Android Wear watches I'd install this on to become a fitness tracker, since Android Wear falls short in that realm.

At a high level, I'd like a Fitbit app that runs on my Android Wear watch and syncs to the Fitbit app on my phone. The watch app itself could be a watch face with similar behavior to those of Charge HR.

Pebble devices are still more functional than Fitbit activity trackers. I was hoping you'd continue development of that platform, it's superior to any of your watches today and I have 2 Pebble watches I still wear. You own Pebble, so it'd be nice if there was some integration there, too

I love my Blaze but sometimes miss wearing a classic looking circular, analog watch with physical hands. Hybrid smartwatches appear to be becoming more common among other brands such as Garmin, Misfit, Nokia/Withings and Fossil (a noteworthy one is the Garmin Vivomove HR). 

I think an analog watch perhaps with a small touchscreen panel for quickly viewing stats (such as steps, calories, active minutes, stand hours, sleep, stairs climbed) would make for a great device. I imagine that the touchscreen doesn't need to be big - perhaps even a size similar to the original Fitbit Charge/Charge HR screen is big enough.

A hybrid smartwatch may also appeal to those who aren't particularly fond of smartwatches/fitness trackers as they prefer something more traditional - potentially bringing more people into the Fitbit community. I am aware that this would likely require a reasonable amount of R&D (particularly to get a good watch design) but just wanted to pitch the suggestion nonetheless.

I wish it was possible to use PAI score in the Fitbit equipment/app.  The teory behind is interesting and it works. Easy, visual and scientific proven by the University in Trondheim, Norway (NTNU).    https://www.ntnu.edu/cerg/personal-activity-intelligence

A cooperation, open up Fitbit pulse watches for the PAI app and integrate the PAI algoritm in Fitbit App.  Win-win solution.
