Product Feedback

I often miss my notifications because I'm actively concentrating on something.  Even when the vibrations are set to strong.  I am most concerned about reminders to move.   Option to make reminders to move more like an alarm that could be "snoozed" or vibrate longer so it could be noticed when busy (highest priority) I would like the option to add custom vibrate patterns  Set the vibrate patterns to particular apps/alerts    Moderator edit: Clarified subject and updated label ...

I am on day 997 of getting 10,000 or more steps a day in a row. I was looking forward to seeing 1,000 on a few days. I can’t believe you took that feature away. Moderator edit: Clarified subject ... View more

I don't really like any of the watch face combinations to be honest. I like the Asymmetrical the best but wish the date was in place of the heart rate. Why don't they let us customize what is displayed top to bottom. Let us choose what is displayed with every different clock look. This would be brilliant.   Moderator Edition: Updated title for clarity ... View more

With the release of the Flex 2, I was hoping for a display on a waterproof tracker, preferably with heart rate tracking. To my surprise, they actually released one (Ionic). Now, the Ionic's great and all, but I'm not really looking to buy a smartwatch as an upgrade to a Flex 2. Therefore, I started brainstorming, and came up with these ideas:   A "reboot" of the Force, but with the Flex 2 material so that you won't have to issue a total recall of the product (again). A waterproof tracker that somewhat resembles the Charge 2. I'd also recommend clock faces with all basic stats (Steps, Calories Burned, Heart Rate) on a single screen. I don't know how you'll do that, but if you can, then by all means, go ahead. These are the two that came to me. If anyone has any more ideas, there's a comment section below this post. You guys can come up with your own, or add to mine.    Moderator Edit: Title for Clarity ... View more

It would be great if it would be possible to get navigation instructions on the smartwatch. Maybe as a notification from the Google Maps App. ... View more

My biggest frustration is forgetting I took my Fitbit off and forgetting to put it back on. I can go all day without it on and not realize it.    Fitbit is already paired with my phone - I'd like a notification on my phone if the range of of my Fitbit exceeds a certain distance and the Fitbit has not logged any activity for a period of time.    I believe this would set the product apart from everyone else - the benefits of the product type are pointless if I don't even get to use them.    Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated labels ...

Dear Fitbit,   I have Fitbit Surge and the option for notification works pretty poor as the messages in Cyryllic are not shown as they should be, they are show in squares.   Moderator edit: updated subject for clarity and labels. ... View more

I had a nasty cold all week so of course I am only at about 50% on most goals, and it brings my average way down. I wish there was a way to hit "Pause" on your counting so you can focus on getting healthy and continue on your goals when you are better.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels/Title for Clarity ...

I think a welcomed addition to the friends profile across all apps would be the ability to see a friend's daily step count.  This would be useful when "chasing" a friend down.     Other user data such as, distance, active minutes, pictures and other information that person has set to share with friends would be nice as well.   Idealy the user would be able to slide through previous days like you can on your personal dashboard view   Moderator Edit: Updated Subject for Clarity/ Edited Labels ...

I've seen similar ideas/feedback noted for the Surge/Blaze and I'd love to see the same sort of thing for the Ionic, I also saw an idea to change the 'stop exercise' button to the (left) hand button on the Ionic which would too be good but would very much prefer a lock screen if possible 🙂   When I'm sometimes performing pushups, boxing, burpees or anything that causes my hand to bend, I've sometimes ended up pushing the bottom right hand button to 'pause' the workout and then sometimes ended up pushing multiple buttons during workouts to end it prematurely.   I'd love it if it were possible to disable the buttons during certain workouts or have some kind of lock screen, maybe even a long-button push option to only unlock the screen when holding one of the buttons for a few seconds etc. At the moment, it's just far too easy to accidentally click the right hand buttons which are tied to pausing/ending workouts.   An idea which would be great would be that my old android watch had, I could turn the screen on with a button although in order to interact any further, I would need to manually swipe away a lock screen (or you could set it up with a PIN each time) and then you'd be able to start/end/pause the workout.   Thanks a lot for reading, really hope this could be considered for a future firmware update    Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ...

The Fitbit has, from I can tell, the best hardware when compared to other watches and "Superwatches", but there software leaves something to be desired when compared to competitors like Garmin Vivoactive, Basis Peak, Pebble Time and the new Apple Sport Watch.  Improvements: Notifications: The first improvement that should be made is the intergration of other apps for notifications. Not many people use messages as their main form of texting anymore and leaving this out limits Fitbit compared to other brands. Adding notificaations support can be achieved as it is with all of the competeitors. Use the https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreBluetooth/Reference/AppleNotificationCenterServiceSpecification/Specification/Specification.html. Although it should also be noted that there are some notifications you don't want to recieve on your watch which is why a switch should be made in the app to say which apps are allowed, something like this.  Stronger Alarm: The second improvement has to do with the alarm. I think it should be stronger or at least repeat itself untill stopped. Usually the vibrations do no wake me up forcing me to return to a tradtional alarm instead.   New Features: (Endless Opportunities) SDK - Clock Faces: A new feature that should be introduced is the watch faces customisation. Competitors allow the watch face to be created and be customised, for exmaple pebble and Garmin. The watch face should be personalised and allow people to get what they want on the watch screen. For example the seconds and the date on the Flare clock face. Allow a community to be created where people can share their clock faces with eachother, similar to other brands. SDK - Apps: The other feature is the introduction of apps. This is a major part of the new fitness trackers and smartwatches, with things like Garmin's ConnectIQ and Pebble Time's app. Allow people to create third party apps for the Surge and make it a proper competitor in today's market. Open a community of developers to Fitbit and make it a competiative brand. It is endless what things could be done if the watch could be used with a simple app like a compass or stopwatch like these. (The stopwatch wouldn't include the GPS or the distant) Or could go to something complex as with Garmin, Apple and Pebble's apps.   Links of Ideas: https://www.reddit.com/r/fitbit/comments/2uf6ql/hackjailbreakroot_fitbit_charge/ https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/3rd-Party-apps-that-can-be-developed-by-anyone/idi-p/657779 https://developer.getpebble.com/ https://developer.getpebble.com/smartstraps/ http://www.wareable.com/apps/the-best-apps-for-pebble-and-pebble-steel http://help.getpebble.com/customer/portal/articles/1701779-pebble-appstore https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/   Moderator Edit: Added Labels/Title for Clarity ...

The clock faces on the Charge 5 are in color, but I can't select the colors. So a clock face can look good in form, but nog in color. Would be nice if I could selectd a color for a face. Moderator edit: Clarified subject ... View more

Create a team option for challenges such as the Workweek Hustle.  The team with the highest average wins.  Suppose you want to set up three teams such as: (You) Captain Kirk, Bones, Spock Captain Stubing, Julie, Gopher Captain Dallas, Ripley, Kane First, you invite the other captains (as captains), then you (and the other captains) invite your teammates (as teammates) like such:   Once everyone has been added, the leaderboard will sort the rank of teams first, then within teams, shows the rank among the teammates like this: The chatter can be designated within the team or for the entire challenge.  The limits can be expanded to say 3 teams and 10 members within each team.   Moderator Edit: Added Labels ...

Some obvious ones I don’t feel are listed in the conditions, things I like to note during my cycle.  A big one which a lot of women suffer with like Bloating and sleep deprivation.    Some ideas that could be listed in conditions    bloated (RELEASED!) sleep deprivation (vote here!) gassy/windy back pain (vote here!) increased appetite (vote here!) high stress (RELEASED!) high energy (RELEASED!) dizziness (vote here!) decrease appetite (vote here!) clotting constipation / diarrhea (vote here!) PMS (vote here!) cravings (vote here!) HCG levels anxiety (RELEASED!)   the list im sure goes on..   maybe there could be a bit that allows you to write in a notes on whichever days the individual needs. Every woman cycle changes and being able to write a note when those changes happened would be good.      I think a pregnancy mode is definitely needed also where women can log stages in their pregnancy and also make notes where needed.  And then I think maybe something for after pregnancy breastfeeding etc.    Moderator Edit: Title for Clarity  Moderator edit: Updated released symptoms and links to individual symptom suggestions. ...

The SpO2 clock face has to be selected during sleep to view actual SpO2 % range and avg value in morning. Devices that support SpO2 DO collect the data since it shows up on a sleep graph. It's just the value doesn't appear. This is such a silly implementation. Just show the value in the app and clock face regardless of the clock face during sleep. ... View more

I'm guessing I mis-read the features for the Charge 3, but I thought music control was among the upgrades from the Charge 2.  Is this something that is or will be added as an App or feature in the NEAR future?  I was holding off on the purchase strictly for music control feature.   I actually purchased a $30 non-brand name fitness tracker while waiting for the release of the Charge 3 and even that had the music control feature.  It makes changing songs while running so much easier! Please tell me I'm wrong and there is a way of controlling music from the tracker!   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and updated label ... View more

I think it would have extra value to see your pace from walks/runs in Kilometers per hour (or miles per hour for that matter). At the moment you can only see your pace,which for a lot of people is an unknown/underused metric.    Moderator Edit: Added Labels ... View more
