Date only displays in US format

This seems like a careless oversight, the date only displays in US format (yes, guys, other countries do things differently). I want to be able to see my date displayed in whatever format makes most sense to me. Please fix 🙏🏻

What format do you want?  A 24-hour clock format is available, you just need to change it under Fitbit settings from 12 hour to 24 hour.

Date format not time.

The US date format is MM(M)-DD-YY(YY). Most countries don’t use this, why not just make it freely selectable. DD-MM(M)-YY(YY) is the most common in the UK.

@cwb34   You can send feedback directly to Fitbit from the Fitbit app.  Tap on your profile picture, then Send feedback.  It's very odd -- older, monochrome clocks used to change the date format based on you location.

@cwb34 Oops sorry, for some reason I read you were inquiring about the time.  Perhaps there is a third party clock-face out there available to switch.

Nw, and maybe but the third party stuff mostly isn’t compatible with charge 6, from what I’ve seen, and I’d rather just use the Fitbit stuff tbh. Faffing about with third party stuff, through iPhone, just sounds like it’ll be an reasonably massive hassle 🤷🏻‍

Yeah I guess but as far as I can see it’s not functionality that already exists and I haven’t figured out. Honestly it’s a silly annoyance, similar to many of the bugs in the app or short comings of the interface. Just seems like the UX and inter-compatibility was last on the list of anyone’s priorities.
