Add clean and easy to read clock faces for Charge 5

I'd really love a Charge 5 version of Moment, Spectrum, or Simple. These are clean, easy to read clock faces BY FITBIT(!) that should be easy to modify for the Charge 5's tall, skinny face.

I'd be happy with a SMALL time/date at the top, HR, Steps, and the medic ID link I had on the versa 2. That's all I need on the face. Heck, I don't even need the time! I wear a watch for that. My fitbit is not a watch for me. 

I honestly don't understand why there were dozens of faces for the versa, but only a select few (annoyingly similar) faces for the charge 5. It has been out long enough for there to be a lot more faces now.

Please create at least one new watch face design that is less "Fancy Design - oriented" and just does the job of displaying the stats - in a slightly larger font.

The clock faces are a disappointment indeed!

A simple analogue clock face that replicated a diver's watch.

Like TAG or Omega

Despite the title, this other post significantly relates to usability of the existing clock faces and new ones. Please upvote:

 

Improve tap responsiveness on Charge 5 screen

How many people are here looking for hope after the gut punch Fitbit announced in the long "More clock faces for the Charge 5" thread?

 

This has entered sinister gaslighting territory. To say that the new ugly face  "Released" the solution to the problem 845 people complained about is beyond cynical. I can't even.

@LizzyFitbit 

I saw you marked this thread as resolved after the "Bloom" Clock Face was added. I couldn't comment in it anymore but the other threads on tbe same issue are still open.

 

Did you read any of the posts in the entire thread? How does the Bloom Clock face address the complaints made by about 800 people on this forum?

It doesn't - Fitbit simply does not care.

Bumping this thread, which is one of a number making the same exact request:  a simple, easy to use, easy to read, clean "stats heavy" face so we can see all the important stats on one screen without having to click through.

Very disappointed with my recent Charge 5 purchase, and Fitbit's lack of response (after over a year of requests) on this issue.  I believe this will be my last Fitbit purchase; when this one croaks I'm switching to another brand.

Same suggestion here as another survey:

 

I only care about Heart Rate and Time.  I can scroll for anything else.

 

 

---well, I'd REALLY like to have Heart Rate and Day of the Week only.  I hate to go out to dinner and find out that it's the weekend and all the working stiffs are out at the restaurant.

My husband is 84 and has Alzheimer's.  We are using a Charge 5 to monitor his heart and general health.  On his Charge 3, I picked what looked like a very easy to read face with bold hour and lighter minutes in a big font.  He could not see the minutes at all.  It would be helpful to be able to choose a face that is just simple.  For him, just an easy to read time, Day of the Week and Date would be perfect.  I love some of the fancy screens; but they just don't work for him.

Yes please. More faces that aren’t cartoon-like, something you can wear  at a formal dinner.

Yes, please! Don't get me wrong, I like the Juxtaposed, Glimpse, and a few other clock faces. I'm not crazy about the Slashed and Intersection clock faces.
