Receive notifications whilst asleep when unable to hear

Rendog said:
I have this problem due to being deaf in my right ear and so when I sleep on my left ear I don't hear a thing when sleeping. As my work requires my team to be on-call (we rotate shifts) I had a lot of trouble acknowledging and hearing alerts over night, even when the alert called my phone I would often miss it.

My solution was to use my Fitbit which allowed me to send certain app alerts to my Fitbit which would then vibrate enough to wake me up. Now I capture alerts quick enough so they don't get escalated to my boss and wake them up!

Good to know thanks, which Fitbit please?

I currently use a Fitbit Sense but before that I used a Fitbit Versa 2 (I believe there is now a Versa 3 model).

All of these models have strong enough vibration to wake you up and receive app notifications?

Aren't most of Fitbits features behind a pay wall?

If so I might just settle for one of these as they look comfortable to wear while sleeping

The vibration for both models has been strong enough for me and I'd say I'm a heavy sleeper.

I wouldn't say most of Fitbits features are behind a pay wall (if any?), they have 'Fitbit Premium' which all that does is give you extra stats, I'm currently using a 6 month trial of it but will likely not bother to pay for it once those 6 months are up.

I've worn a Fitbit while sleeping for at least the last 4 years and have had no trouble with it at all, I got use to it very quickly.

Ok great, so it's either the Fitbit or Withings Steel HR

Both pretty different so need to do some proper reading up on the app side of things and watch some YouTube reviews
