Change week start on Weekly Reports

[SLMcc]

Hi. Is there a way to change my week start to Sunday for the weekly email?  My app shows Sunday through Saturday but my weekly email always starts on Monday. I'd like to make it start Sunday. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, @SLMcc, there is no way to change it.

[SLMcc]

Oh, okay. Thanks. Maybe Fitbit will address that sometime.

I'm not sure this will address your issue, but I found under 'Settings' after my 'Personal Info', I scrolled down and under 'Advanced Settungs', there was a heading, 'Start Week On' I was able to change my start day from Sunday to Monday. Maybe it will work for you. 😀

Thank you. I found it too 🙏🏽

Welcome to the Forums @HeidiPau.

Glad to know that you found this thread to be useful.

Please do keep in mind that the starting day setting that you can select on the Dashboard will not affect the way the weekly report is handled. The weekly report will continue to work on a Mon-Sun basis.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I really wish that Fitbit would address this issue. In North America most people start the week on Sunday. Not Monday.

In the US, we start our week on Sunday.

Please allow us to change our progress report to report Sunday through Saturday.  This should be a simple change.

[Heathko]

Actually, USAF-Larry, there is a way to change it.  Look under “advanced settings”.

I already have my week set to start on Sunday.  However, my progress report, which I was referring to, is stuck on Monday through Sunday.  I want to be able to set it to match how I've set up my week... Sunday to Sunday.

[SLMcc]

Exactly. I want my Fitbit report to match up.

I got there.  It's been 3 years since the first suggestion.

I guess fitbit is not exactly responsive to what looks like a simple thing to implement. 

Disappointed.

I too would like it is my weekly report used the same days of the week as the actual Fitbit. Sunday to Saturday.  When trying to meet new goals it is hard when the history on the device is out of sync with the reports. 

Does not seem like a huge fix.  Thanks.

I feel weird, but I'm in the US (born and raised) and always thought our weeks started on Monday.  I know calendars have them start on Sunday, but at least in my mind, my weeks always started on Monday.

[LanuzaFitbit]

Hey @Heather-S.

I think it really depends on the way that your family does it. I've known of lots of people that consider Monday the start of the week, from all over the place.

If you have the time, maybe you could visit one of our Discussion boards. Lots of different topics to talk about with other Forum members. 

Feel free to reach out if there are any further questions.

Lanuza,

Discussing in the support group doesn't solve the problem.

This can't be a difficult fix. Allowing the user to select and manage the
start of their week, BASED ON THEIR LIVES, would be customer FRIENDLY.
