Clock Face showing Battery percentage

[nikstaaa]

Hi,

is there a specific reason why we don't have any clock faces showing the current battery's percentage?

Welcome to the Community forums, @nikstaaa.   

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the battery percentage on Charge 5 clock faces.  

There's no specific reason other than optimizing the space available on the display, as the battery percentage is available on the Today screen by swiping up from the main clock screen and on the Fitbit app when you sync your device.

However, I do recommend that you post this idea in the Feature Suggestion board of the Community, since this section is regularly monitored by the team of developers. Make sure to post your idea including as many details as possible so other users can vote for it and show their support. 

Have a great day.

Dear @DavideFitbit,

I take a bit of an offense from your reply. 

Don't you think that I know how to check for the battery status and that there is a reason for me asking for a different way to check the status?

Some of us just don't have the time of constantly swiping to check the battery status. We really have better things to do.

So there is a legit reason to have the battery shown on the main page. It looks to me very short sighted not to have the information on the main page.

And thanks.. I do know about the feature suggestion area. It's just plain stupid for me not to have such a basic feature. 

On top... Some of the features have been asked for for more than a year and nothing has change.

BR, nik

@nikstaaa I apologize for the confusion, I was trying to work out the reasons why they might not have included the battery percentage on other screens, and not assuming you weren't aware of where to find it.

It would be helpful and time saving to see the battery percentage on the main screen. Not all the suggestions are implemented right away, but it's always useful to vote for them, so the team of developers can continue to track popularity and demand over time. 

Thanks again for sharing all your feedback about this.
