The Fitbit Flex App Needs an Option To Find Your Fitbit

The Fitbit Flex is very small and easy to lose, so there should be an easy button in the App to help you find it.
I misplaced my Fitbit Flex a while back and it took me about an hour to find it. My first impulse was to load the Fitbit App and see if it had a button to help you locate it. After all, it is a wireless device, so it makes sense that there would be an easy way to either pinpoint it's location, or at the very least, trigger an alert on the Fitbit. Unfortunately, there is no such feature.
Although there isn't a feature to locate it, I did notice that the App always shows the battery level of your Fitbit, so I moved from room to room until it showed me my battery level. Once I was able to see the battery level, I knew the Fitbit wasn't lost completely. It had to be within about 30 feet of my iPhone. This was the breakthrough I needed to finally find it.
Then I noticed that the App had an alarm feature, designed to buzz your wrist in the morning or at the end of your workout. This was exactly what I needed next. I set the alarm for one minute and waited for the Fitbit to buzz. The buzz was loud enough to hear, so I found it in the pocket of a pair of pants I wore that morning.
After I found it, I wondered why there wasn't already a built-in feature specifically for the purpose of finding your Fitbit.
