Feedback about Change 5 Clock Faces

[bridoc94]

I know they are new but the clock faces for the Charge 5.... well.... suck.   PLEASE tell me more choices are coming along, particularly one with time, steps and HR on the main screen!

The "Slashed" clock face tick all your boxes.

[radesix]

I agree.  What FitBit calls clock face, I call Home Screen.  I need a Home Screen option that uses the screen real estate primarily for the metrics and less for the time.  

I don’t use the tracker as a watch. I use it as a fitness tracker.  I want to see my stats without scrollling through anything.

If you swipe up on the clock face, you’ll see the date and 4 metrics.  If you replace the date with the time, that is the clock face/Home Screen I need. if I could choose the metrics to display that would better.

Slashed is the only usable one but it's still annoying that there is room for all the stats yet you have to page through then. I'm also not a fan of the lime green color. 

[radesix]

Agree. That’s the face I’m using now. If I scroll up I like the 4 activity view with the date better. It will stay that way for a while but eventually it goes back to the clock face.

It doesn’t.  I don’t care about the time. Don’t need to see it that large, or at all actually.  That space could be used for another metric because slashed only shows 3 metrics… and not the top three I use or care to see.

@bridoc94, @radesix, @Christopherv  and @jfe Hi there and for the ones that are new to the Fitbit Community, welcome. 

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback about Charge 5 clock faces, we're always striving to improve our services offered and the Fitbit Community is a big part of that process. 

The best place to make your voice heard is our Feature Suggestion board, you may want to vote and comment on the following ideas, they are reviewed by our team and the status will change depending on Fitbit plans. 

- More clock faces for the Charge 5 
- Charge 5: Customize clock faces colors 
- Clock face stats without scrolling Charge 5 

Hope to see your vote on the ideas.

Voted. Slashed in the only one with date time & a few stats. But, it looks terrible. That slanted slash cutting off the time would drive me nuts. Need more designs. 

[IvanRRR]

100% agree! I lost bought Charge5 and faces are completely useless. I think designers and employees at Fitbit never wear fitbits 🙂 so they don't know how horrible these clock faces are 🤣

--------------------------------

Customizing colors is useless. What Fitbit needs to show on the default screen is: number of steps, current heart rate, calories burned, time, date, nothing else. Hope this helps. 

just make your product managers wear Fitbit everyday day and make sure they are athletically active. They own daily experience will tell them what product needs.

Hi, thank you for your reply, @FBGerbil, and welcome to the Community forums, @IvanRRR. 

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the clock faces. The team of developers is continuously working to improve the quality of products and services, so all feedback received from users is greatly appreciated. Make sure to vote for the suggestions mentioned here earlier as well.  

Have a great day. 

[FBGerbil]

Will indeed vote @DavideFitbit  I do have to say, I'm thinking of buying a Charge 5, but the watch faces are *seriously* putting me off. My Charge 4 looks great with Retro 2. Just, please, let some decent designers at the watch faces. 

[DavideFitbit]

@FBGerbil Thank you for your reply and for sharing your feedback. The Charge 4 has some great clock faces, as you mentioned! 

The team is aware of these feature suggestions that have been posted for the Charge 5 and it's always useful for the team of developers to have all this feedback available, so they can take them into consideration for future improvements and firmware updates. 

Have a good day.

I wear my Fitbit in professional settings.   Still using a Charge HR with monochrome screen.   Really wanted to like Charge 5 but the neon screens are awful.  I’d like the clock, date, steps and HR on a simple conservative screen.  Will wait for the next iteration.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the product and the display as well. 

Have a great day,

I agree the clock face options all pretty much suck!  I don't think MORE design options are needed.  Instead, BETTER designs are needed.  The only ones that are even close to being acceptable to me are the "Target" and "Ripple" clock designs, although I totally agree with others that they need to include all the stats on the clock face and not make you toggle.  Or perhaps allow the user to customize the "default" stat that displays if not all can fit.

Please make more simple, Monochrome faces available with time, steps, heatrate and minutes in Zone

Please also add stairs

Just got one for the holiday and honestly these are all hideous. May return it bc I don't like looking at any of them. How did they do this so poorly? 

[F14Scott]

I am a child of the 70s and 80s, and I still can't stomach these neon-disco-Flock-of-Seagulls faces.  They're just weird and not functional.

Can I just have one that has simple 24 hour time, the day and date, HR, calories, and steps?  Just data and some white space.  Limit the colors to white and red and maybe blue.

[LedMatrix]

I'm partial to Hexa if you wanna give it a try.

[InsulinTamer]

The vast majority of these Clock faces don't display the information I want to see at a glance. I don't want to always tap to cycle through to the metrics I want to see.
