Adjusting time and multiple time faces

[777Dan]

Hi, I tried to post this on “Fitbit developers” but maybe it’s not the right place. I am an Airline pilot and I constantly fly across multiple time zones. There’s a couple of things that would really help me out. If I let my phone automatically update the time depending when I am at the moment, then all my activities on Fitbit are logged in this new time. For instance: I depart home and go to Melbourne, the phone updates. When I log sleep and training it gets logged in Melbourne time, then I go back home and this data remains logged in Melbourne time even after the phone is back on home time. I’d love it if there was a way to have the sleep in Melbourne to be logged in “home” time, in order to better track bed time, wake up etc. As it is I am forced to leave my phone (and tracker) in home time by disabling the “set automatically” function. Second one: I would love a watch face for the ionic that would allow me to track 3 different times on the same screen. In my job is quite useful. I need home time: because is where the family is (avoid calling in the middle of the night). Plus is where my body thinks he is most of the time (if I wake up at 3am local, in an hotel room, starving, is useful to know that my tummy thinks is noon and time for lunch) I need UTC time because everything in my job is based in “Zulu” time. And I need the time zone I am at the moment (reastaurant open or closed, and do on). Nothing fancy: 3 digital time with room for a small label (utc, lax, ord, fco, etc), maybe high vis white over black and well divided (a thin line maybe?) And the date somewhere (not super essential). At the moment I found max 2 time zones displayable at the same time. Thanks for reading

I am not sure that what you are asking is possible. That would required a lot of back-end work at Fitbit checking each time you sync if you have previously changed time zones and recalculating your account for possibly days or weeks. What might help you is to turn off auto time zone and just leave it on the home time. Then (and this is a big then) if you could find a watch face that shows multiple times you could add the other two. That would be something for the 3rd party app developers to explore. Maybe ask around in this forum.

Thanks for the answer.

how about having all the recorded times “slewed” to the phone time? 

Meaning: I am in Washington with the phone on GMT-4, I go to sleep at 22:00 and wake up at 06:00. Then I fly to Moscow (GMT+3)  when I land and the phone updates to Moscow time I see that, when I was in Washington, I went to sleep at 5am and woke up at 13:00.

As you suggested I already keep my phone on a fixed home time. As it’s done by most of the colleagues who have Fitbit or Garmin trackers. It’s a patch more than a fix.

I do believe, however, that this would make for an overall better and more flexible product. I do guarantee that everyone who travels a lot would benefit enormously from tracking her/his sleeping habit, when you do you’ll face this issue.

thanks for the attention
