How do I manage alarms on my Fitbit device?

Alarms on your Fitbit device vibrate to gently awake or alert you at a set time.

Note that alarms you set in the Alarms app on Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Versa 2, and Fitbit Versa 3 are separate from alarms you set with your voice assistant. For more information on using your voice assistant to set alarms, see How do I use a voice assistant on my Fitbit smartwatch?

ClosedHow do I set an alarm on my Fitbit device?

For Fitbit Charge 3, Fitbit Charge 4, Fitbit Charge 5, Fitbit Luxe, Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Ionic, and Fitbit Versa series, set alarms on your device. For instructions, see On-device.

For all other Fitbit devices, set alarms in the Fitbit app. For instructions, see Fitbit app.

ClosedOn-device

  1. On your device, open the Alarms app. You see your next scheduled alarms and the option to set a new alarm.
  2. Tap + New Alarm. Swipe up to see this option if you already created multiple alarms.
  3. Set the alarm:
    • Sense and Versa 3—Swipe up and down to set the alarm time. Tap am or pm. When you're done, tap the time to set it.
    • Charge 3, Charge 4, Ionic, Versa, Versa Lite Edition, and Versa 2—Tap the time, and swipe to set the alarm time. Be sure to set am or pm. Press the back button on your device.
    • Charge 5 and Luxe—Swipe up and down to choose the time, and tap to select it. Tap am or pm.
  4. Choose to turn on Smart Wake. When enabled, Smart Wake attempts to find the best time to wake you starting 30 minutes before the alarm time you set. It avoids waking you during deep sleep so you're more likely to wake up feeling refreshed. If Smart Wake can't find the best time to wake you, your alarm alerts you at the set time.
  5. Choose the days you want to be alerted.

    • Charge 5, Luxe, Sense, and Versa 3—Swipe right to see your alarms.
