Is there anyway the Fitbit can warn you if your phone is not nearby? I'd like for the Fitbit to vibrate if it loses Bluetooth connectivity to my phone. This would let me know if I am leaving it behind. 

Another option would be it warned me when it was more than X feet away from the Fitibt.

Actually Sense and Versa 3 I believe are the only 2 models that do notify you, though not with vibration but with Status Indicator.

You have to make sure it is turned on in Settings.  You might have even seen these at top of screen for a few seconds without realizing what they are.  The phone icon with a line through it shows you are out of bluetooth range.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

That would not help. If I remembered to look at the status indicator on the Fitbit to see if my phone is out of range, then I would have already remembered to check if my phone is near me. 

I need an audible sound or a vibration that would be different than a normal notification vibration.
