Turning on an alarm on your Fitbit typically involves navigating to the Alarms app on your device and setting your desired time and recurrence. Fitbit alarms utilize a silent vibration, gently waking you without disturbing others.
Setting an Alarm Directly on Your Fitbit Device
The process for setting the alarm time varies slightly depending on your Fitbit model. Here's a general guide followed by model-specific instructions for setting the time:
- Access Alarms: From your Fitbit's clock face, swipe or tap to find the Alarms app. It often looks like a clock icon.
- Add New Alarm: Tap + New Alarm (or a similar option) to create a new alarm.
- Set Time: Use the specific interaction method for your device model to set the hour and minute.
- Configure Recurrence: Choose the days you want the alarm to repeat (e.g., weekdays, every day, specific days).
- Save/Turn On: Confirm your settings and save the alarm. It will automatically be turned on once saved.
Setting the Alarm Time by Fitbit Model
The method for adjusting the hour and minute varies across different Fitbit devices:
| Fitbit Model(s) | How to Set the Alarm Time |
|---|---|
| Sense 2, Versa 4 | Swipe up and down on the screen to set the hour and minute. |
| Sense, Versa 3 | Swipe up and down on the screen to set the hour and minute. |
| Charge 3, Charge 4 | Tap the time display, then swipe to adjust the hour and minute. |
| Versa, Versa Lite Edition, Versa 2 | Tap the time display, then swipe to adjust the hour and minute. |
Managing Your Fitbit Alarms from the Fitbit App
For added convenience, you can also manage your alarms directly from the Fitbit app on your smartphone:

Additional Alarm Settings and Tips:
- Turn On/Off: You can easily toggle alarms on or off directly from the Alarms app on your Fitbit or within the smartphone app without deleting them.
- Delete Alarms: To remove an alarm, tap on it in the Alarms app on your Fitbit or in the smartphone app and look for a "Delete" or trash can icon.
- Silent Vibration: All Fitbit alarms provide a silent vibration to wake you up gently. There is no audible alarm sound.
- Syncing: Ensure your Fitbit is synced with the app to keep your alarm settings consistent across both platforms.
