Use the Fitbit app to set alarms
You’ll need to go through the Fitbit app to manage alarms if you own an older or simpler Fitbit device. This includes the Inspire 2 and Inspire HR.
- Open the Fitbit app and tap your profile picture in the top left corner.
- Tap your device name.

Turn off alarms on your Fitbit device
To ignore an alarm, you can tap the button that appears on the screen for most Fitbit smartwatches. You have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the close dialog if you own a Fitbit Charge 5 or a Luxe. For Inspire 2 and Ace 3 users, tap both buttons on the device at the same time to silence an alarm. Oh, and another tip: turn down the brightness of your Fitbit so you can avoid burning your eyes when you wake up to the alarm!
