This is a waste of my life energy trying to figure out how to change the time.  I finally googled and see that apparently you need to have wifi access to have the time change . . .huh??  If the timezone is set correctly in my profile . . . why do i need to have wifi if bluetooth is turned on?  I have no wifi access presently !!  I use Fitbit as my watch so this is very frustrating.  Really BAD design . .  please consider this a top priority to change !!   FYI, fitbit has alot of fluff that I could not care less about.  For me the three things I most care about are Time, Steps and Battery indicator.  Heartbeat is also somewhat helpful and interesting.  Just my 2 cents.  Don't overdevelop fitbit, less can be so much more.

@midwestGal, you do not need WiFi to effect a time change, as long as you have cell service on your phone, or Internet access if using your computer - the time on the tracker is synced to your phone or computer with each sync, and to sync your tracker to your device you need Internet access.
