Displaying kilojoules on Charge 6

[Brizzyguitar]

Hi all. Apologies if this has been asked before. In my iOS app, I have selected kilojoules as my preferred option. Why does the Charge 6 still show kcal instead of kilojoules? How do I get the Charge 6 to display kilojoules instead? Cheers and thanks.

Hi @Brizzyguitar, Welcome to  the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

Let me help you with your units settings.

Once you have made some changes in the Fitbit app, you need to sync so your Fitbit device displays them:

- With your Charge 6 nearby, open the Fitbit app and tap the Today tab .
- Tap and hold on the screen and pull down.

If those changes are not taking effect in your Charge 6; make sure your mobile is running the latest version of the Fitbit app. For instructions to update the Fitbit app see How do I use the Fitbit app? > How do I update the Fitbit app?

Hi - thanks for this, but the Charge 6 continues to show kcal in stead of kilojoules, despite current software and syncing/updating.

Hi @Brizzyguitar, thank you for your response. I'm sorry to hear that the energy units in your Fitbit app are not updating.

Can you confirm the app is showing Calories as the main unit? I mean in your today's tile as shown in the screenshot below?

Issues like this one are solved by toggling options. I mean; choose Cals first, sync; and then choose Kjoules again. I appreciate your time in this process.

Thanks for replying. My iOS app shows kJ and not kcal in the app in the are you highlight. I have also toggled the unit between both options but no luck; the Charge 6 still displays kcal and not kJ. Cheers.
