Charge 6 clock face plus issues

FITBIT GUYS - PLEASE REVIEW THESE 4 IDEAS!!!!

*****************

#1 New simple clock faces

All the chat forums have users complaining about the available clock faces

• Too fancy, slanted numbers, cant read the time, vertical format clock face

I think these options I show below would greatly improve the functionality and the users would be much happier

No fancy colours or cutoff numbers – nothing is slanted or blury – everything is clear and concise.

Plain and simple – no tapping to change between displayed stats – this is really annoying

Nobody wants to stare at their watch for longer then a second

Users want to see all the details in one glance

All devices would benefit from these new clocks – not just the charge 6

Sample #A

- includes hourly target 250 steps

- all the stats fitness people want to see (date / time / steps / battery / hourly activity)

Sample #B

- same as above minus the hourly activity

#2 Hourly activity – 250 steps

When you check hourly activity you can’t tap to see your days progress – you get locked out of the second screen

It would be great to combine these 2 screens to show daily progress with hourly progress on 1 screen – no tapping

The principle is similar to the view in the app on your phone:

White shows a missed hour (you could use any colour)

Red shows a completed hour (you could use any colour)

Orange is the hour in progress – with an hourly step count in the middle

Count shown below (example 1 of 10 hours achieved 250+ steps)

#3 Side button – long press functionality

The Versa 4 allows a long press / press and hold functionality using the side button

Would be great if the Charge 6 could allow this

It would be great to activate the water lock? This is really cumbersome right now especially if the screen is already wet – scrolling down a wet screen to get to the water lock feature isn’t a good procedure.

#4 Double tap to turn off water lock

This is a very aggressive action and feels like its going to break the watch

Maybe as above you could use the side button to deactivate also.

Press and hold side button for 3 seconds to activate / deactivate water lock.

Hello @will1234 

Thank you for your great suggestions.

Please submit your clock face suggestions in the Product Feedback forum (<-- click link). This is where users can submit feature requests and other users can vote for the request. I understand that the developers routinely monitor this forum for future features.

I've been a fitbit user since the beginning. This is disappointing. I don't care for stairs and calories but if I want hr and steps I have to have the others. Loved the old customizable faces on other watches. No idea how there isn't a semi basic clock with just battery life, heart rate, and steps.

Fully concur. It seems strange that other manufacturers seem to read the sugestions/complaints made here, and implement them in their products. Just a plain, simple, discrete but informative display.

Google reads the complaints, suggestions, etc. That is what the product feedback is for. You are encouraged to post your feedback there. Do a search, you will probably find a similar feedback. 

We are in the community help forum, setup for users tho help users. And redesign is not what we can do. 

@BroomballKidd the Charge 6 doesn't have the hardware to count stairs. I'm not sure what device you have, but stair counts you will never see

Thank you for suggesting this.  I like the old simple clock face without all the junk.  Hope they listen.

Defs need the waterlock adjustments tht you suggested (and also the ability to reorder quick settings menu to get it and find my phone closer to the watchface screen). As a swimming teacher, i need quick access to the water lock setting and having to scroll through a list while in the water with kids to turn it on is absolutely stupid
