offer a vegan leather style strap (perhaps PU leather) so that people who don't want to wear animal products get to still enjoy smart style. With the Fitibit vegetarian community sitting at approx 500k this would be a smart idea, with lots of people eyeing up the leather alternative. I've just bought one off ebay but would love for Fitbit to look into the needs of the fasting growing community on earth - vegans (and vegetarians)!  It's more environmentally friendly too 🙂   Moderator edit: Labels ...

I'll have to repeat my suggestion: I'm astonished not to find a request for this already. I don't always want to, or can, switch on wifi. My fitbit charges through a usb cable. Why is it not possible to sync data the same way? This would be a very useful feature if (safe) wifi is not available.   Someone from fitbit posted already exists in that I can buy a dongle but I strongly disagree and that is not what I meant. I mean syncing through the usb cable without a dongle and without a wireless connection of any kind and without having to buy more 'clutter'/a dongle. Other devices can and that's what usb was meant for and initially conceived for - data connections.The fact that it charges devices as well is secondary. Also, and linked to this, why do I need to switch on a computer every time I have to charge my fitbit. And yes I know... I can buy a charger... but my response to that is included above I think. To AlexandraFitbit, thank you for your response, though..   Moderator Edition: Updated title for clarity and labels ... View more

I would like to see an option to control the music track selection (forward and back) using the physical side buttons instead of the touch screen. This is especially handy for snowboarding/skiing because your gloves do not allow you to use touch screen functions. Since this product is a fitness watch, maybe call is "Winter Sport" or "Snow Sport" mode.    Moderator Edit: Added Labels/Title for Clarity ... View more

It would be great once you sign up for a program if you could see your upcoming workouts that week so you could plan when to do them depending on duration etc. It would also be useful if you could plan what day/time to do your work out and you could set reminders/ get notifications e.g night before to bring kit to work next day, or notification if you didn’t complete a planned work out and opportunity to reschedule...       Moderator edit: Clarified subject and labels ...

It would be great if we could set up groups of friends vs picking each friend individually for challenges.   Moderator Edit: Clarified subject ... View more

I have just found out that I have earned the last distance badge "Pole to Pole" after three years and seven months of walking.   You need to offer a challenge to your avid walkers.  "The Circumference Badge" would do the trick.  Also, I wish you kept statistics of how many people have achieved the Pole to Pole badge.  I don't care about names for privacy--just numbers.  I think I am in a fairly select group but the customer service representative said this is not counted.     Moderator Edit: Labels ...

The current​ zones are set as: Fat Burn 50%-69% Cardio 70%-84% Peak 85% All based on, 220 - age (unless you set a custom max heart rate).   And let's be honest, these numbers are so generic that the end result is horribly inaccurate for most people. It would be better to replace it with something that takes the resting heart rate into account, the Karvonen formula for example.   The Karvonen formula is: Max HR - Rest HR = HR Reserve ((Max HR - Rest HR) * %HR Reserve) + Rest HR = Target   This could be calculated for the same zones, but would provide a much more accurate gauge of the level of exertion. Ideally the resting heart rate would also be able to be set manually, for the plethora of possible reasons that people would want to do this. ... View more

The Adventure feature is a great idea and tool that has a very limited impact due to the minimal adventures you can take. I would like to suggest a few additions or changes 1- Make Adventures for the entire globe, there are hiking maps and trails for most all hiking areas along with detailed geographic data. PCT, Grand Canyon, Appalacian trail along with trails that or near your local vicinity. 2- Use your location to suggest different adventures to try locally, this way you can see if you are up to a hike before actually going out to the trail! 3-add data points for elevation along with distance so you can see if what you are hiking resembles the actual hike for training.   This can be an excellent feature for training and motivation. SImilar things are on stationary bikes and treadmills. This could utilize hiking data for the world and makre more of a universal impact... you could see who hiked what trails and find similar trails based on user likes and dislikes etc... you could like fitbit gps to an actual hike to get even more impactful data... actual hike vs mapped hike... so many amazing things that could be added to this feature... just look at how something Like PokeMonGo has given people extra incentive to move... and that isnt even real! ...

You know what woukd be a great addition to your firbit app...     The ability to cheer everyone all at one time.  Also the ability to group your friends accordingly.  Such as family, Co-workers, challenge teams, and runners and walkers.     It would also be nice if we could message everyone at the same time as well.  Once a week or so I try to message all of my friends. I like to send them an encouraging message.  The more groups I belong to, the larger my friends list grows.     Everyday without fail everyone in my friends lists gets a cheer from me.  Every little bit helps when you are trying to meet a specific goal.     It  is quite time consuming to idividually message and or cheer each one.     Moderator Edit: Added Labels ...
