I want a clock face showing a big heart rate on my Charge 6

All I want is a LARGE HEART RATE display that stays on.

The Charge 6 clock/face named "Big & Bold" is big and bold– but after switching it to Heart Rate, then checking my Heart Rate moments later– it defaults back to the clock screen.  Super annoying.

The Charge 6 clock/face "Tracks" does stay at the Heart Rate displayed like I want it to– but the font size is tiny due to it being inside a "heart" icon.  When I triple-tap to zoom in on it, the Heart Rate display doesn't survive the zooming– it only shows the clock.

Is there a face– ANY FACE (standard or premium)– that just shows me a big, easy-to-read Heart Rate that until I want to remove it??

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the community, @AsburyD.

Thanks for letting me know your opinion and suggestion about getting a big heart rate clock face on your Charge 6.

I was able to confirm you contacted support, if you have any other questions or concerns, my best recommendation would be to contact them.

It seems so simple and obvious - I too want a large font for HR; it's very hard to read especially if it's sunny. The choices for clock faces make it seem like a toy, not a serious fitness tool

I agree, I want to be able to see a big heart rate while exercising!!

I just got the charge 6, for heart rate monitoring.   I too am disappointed with the insanely small heart rate display.   Is this a fitness tracker or a watch?  Seems all it's good for is displaying the time, and anything else is an after thought. Seriously thinking of returning this and getting a refund if it can't clearly display my heart rate without me needing to wear two pairs of glasses. 

 

I don't understand why Google/fitbit are so clueless as to not have this as a main display feature.

FWIW:  When I'm in an exercise, say Rowing, and I have turned on the "Always Display" button for the exercise, it displays my heart rate in large font.

But when swimming, HR is not displayed at all 😞

So what is the answer? How do I make my heart rate large and minimize the clock? .

Hello @DaveyMac578 

As far as I know, there isn't a way to make changes on the clock face. You would have to look in the Gallery in the Fitbit app to see if there's a clock face that better meets your needs.

Start the exercise you are doing. Tap on the face of the watch until it
shows the heart rate. I also realized recently that scrolling using only
the top of the watch face makes it easier.

I think Fitbit needs to have better instructions.!
