Why 6pm is seen as 06 on clock face?

[a_d_smooth]

I have tried a few different clock faces during the passed 1st week of owning my Charge 6. The PM hours still have a 0 as the first digit as in 05:30 is 5:30 PM, 06:15 is 6:15PM. I would like to think this was not purposely done by fitbit. Anyone else???? 🙃🙃🙃

@a_d_smooth It may be the programming of the clock face not to show it in 24 hours time when showing just numbers. On my mom's Charge 5 it's also a 2 digit time with no distinction between AM or PM on the clock face.  For the US no problem we're good with it's morning vs evening displayed the same but elsewhere in the world where they actually use the 24 hour time display I'd be curious if they get a clock face showing 17:30pm.

@a_d_smooth actually you can change the time display.  It's under Fitbit app settings, choose date, time & units.  And under clock display pick either 12 hour or 24 hours.  Then sync with your Charge 6.

Hello @a_d_smooth and welcome to the Community.  Everyone who uses a 12 hour clock sees this and it is this way across many clock faces and devices.  This isn't new.  It is this way on almost every Fitbit I owned.  Some Fitbit smartwatches have third party clock faces that say AM and PM, but there are no third party clock faces for the trackers.

Makes no sense to me. Right now its 8:50PM but the clock face is reading
08:50, obviously I know it is night time, but I would be nice if it didn't
have the 0 digit. Thanks for replying! 😉

Thank you for replying. Maybe one day they will change it! 😉😉

Thanks for replying! I would prefer to keep a 12 hour clock without the 0
as a first digit for 6PM and so on.... maybe one day! 😁😁

@a_d_smooth   You're right.  It makes no sense.  Every digital clock in my house can put a blank space instead of a 0.

It would be great if this was fixed. Obviously not an earth shattering issue, but its a bad thing in my opinion... seems like an easy fix and how does fitbit see this as acceptable? thanks for replying!

@a_d_smooth   To be honest, this doesn't affect me.  Even though I live in the US, my work uses a 24 hour clock.  So I've been using a 24 hour clock for many, many years.  But Fitbit has this all wrong.  It turns out there is an international standard for time display.  Fitbit isn't following the international standard.
