Fitbit sense: please show calendar notification even if the watch is disconnected from the phone

[sliu2005]

I have the fitbit sense and I found the Agenda app quite useful. It syncs with google calendar and pops up notifications at specified time. However, if the sense is disconnected from the phone, the notifications are no longer shown. I don't understand the logic behind this behavior, since the calendar data is stored locally after sync. Is it possible to add a setting "Show Notification even disconnected" in Agenda app?

HI, agreed, it is odd that the Agenda app does not try to retain the calendar Alarms to work autonomously.

However it would still require a sync at some point to get the current data to the watch.

If the user failed to sync after modifying his calendar [eg. making an appointment] the watch wouldn't know about it.

Though it would be a great way to have Alarms with texts.

But as you say, currently the watch only gets the phone's calender App notifications when its connected and all is working as it should. So it cannot be relied on for sure.

As in your other post, having a specific App on the watch where you can enter the timed events with descriptions would be the reliable way. You aren't the only one suggesting this.

For some reason I can't even get my watch to sync with my Google calendar. I have reminders set up in my Google calendar. They're all set up as events. Is that what I'm doing wrong? Because when I tap on my agenda on my phone there's nothing listed there. But when I go to my Google calendar or there's a bunch of stuff there and it's not showing up on my phone. I need it to show up on my phone because I can't be sitting here pulling my phone out every hour on the hour. It's for work that's why I'm doing this.

Hi, @JenniferHS  - did you attach all the calendars correctly in your phone calendar app? Or apps?

Depending on the phone there are different settings, suffice to say, if you are not getting the event notifications on your phone, there is an issue there. 

Also an alarm needs to be set for the event in the Google calendar, otherwise it will be silent, without a notification.

The watch will only pick up those notifications if it's syncing ok.

You can use the SimpleCheckUp app from the gallery to see how well your watch is connecting at anytime.

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what happened but now the ones I need there are there. Lol. Thanks for answering! Much appreciated!
