Clockface for Nurses

[KJoyce]

I would like to request that Fitbit consider a watch face for nurses. I understand that current watch faces only light up for a few seconds in an effort to conserve the battery. We would need 2 things..... A second hand and the face to stay lit for about 65 seconds. That way we could get a pulse and/or respiration reading for 1 minute. Then it could turn off. Many nurses love their Fitbit and I believe many more would buy it.

Thanks!!!

Maybe you could try to create a post in our Feature Suggestions board about a clock face that is special for nurses. Other users could then comment or vote on your suggestion to show their support.

If you have any questions on the way that the Feature Suggestions board works, you can read the FAQ.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I am working on ordering a Fitbit Versa...is there a way to set the face to not time out and stay lit? That could be an issue because like the other lady, I am in nursing school and that is a MUST. Need to know before I purchase.

I thought the current thinking was to have bare lower arms for hygiene purposes hence the traditional body worn watch with the "upside-down" face. If you cover it with the purple gloves you can't read it anyway.

However I can agree that an option for a longer illuminated period would probably be useful to a lot of people.

Hello @Lilbiddy. Welcome to the Forums @lele7993.

Thanks for sharing your feedback on the matter.

I'd like to mention that there are existing third party clock face options which can stay on permanently, available for smartwatches now in the Fitbit app gallery. You can click here to see our App Gallery board where you could get more information on the matter.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
