Charge 6 primary display should be time like an old style watch

[CoolRunning]

With my Charge 6 there is too much choice. Too many messages.
I want only the time shown on my first view of the watch. Just like you would have on an old style watch.
Anything else I like to do can be done from my android fitbit app.
How can I change the settings from my fitbit app ?

I have the latest SW download.

I tried Gemini for advice - useless !

Thanks for any help

Hello @CoolRunning 

Because the Charge 6 is a fitness tracker, the clock face will show various tracked health metrics so a user can see their progress at a glance.

Have you had a chance looked at the available clock faces in the Gallery to see if there's one that better meets your preference? If you would like instructions, click on this help article: how to change the Fitbit clock face (<-- click link)

Hi RiekoC

I am happy with your comment about Charge 6 is a fitness tracker. This can be the default setting.

But users should be able to configure what they see on the watch.

I would like mine to be :

- a watch

- a fitness tracker that sends data to my phone

Can this be done? How?

Hello @CoolRunning 

Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a way to do what you want with the Charge 6. The Charge 6 is currently limited to the clock faces/main in the Gallery. There isn't a way to eliminate the metrics shown on the clock face.

It sounds like a smartwatch might be a better option for what you want from your wearable. Smartwatches are designed to be more customizable than fitness trackers.

Use the Symphony clock, it's a basic 'old style' analog clock face. When not viewing it as a fitness tracker, the squiggles can be seen as the clock's design or brand icon/logo which many wristwatches have, and you can imagine the number is simply the name/number of the watch model or your lucky number or you can choose to ignore it.
