Clockface request: calories

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I'd really like a clockface for the Ionic which shows calories burned and calories "remaining" for the day, as well as time and date. I'm really not interested in steps, distance etc and would rather not bother with that information. I haven't seen a calorie-focused face like this - does one exist? I considered trying to code my own, but it's just too complicated (I haven't got time to learn how!)

@KatLDay, many of the existing clock faces already have calories burned. Sometimes you have to page through the stats to get to them, but it's there on many faces.

 

You didn't mention what "remaining" refers to. If it's the calories for the weight plan, that information isn't available on the Ionic, so I don't see how a face could be made with that info.

Ok so the request is to make that data available on the watch face? The technical solution for now is that someone use the web api and make a website that fetches the calories remaining from the API and feeds it separately during sync.  But I seriously think if you want to see lots of good solutions that server users needs, you need to just ... extend the Ionic API to include Calories consumed.  

The data IS available on the watch under Today, the green apple icon with Cals In and Cals Left.  So it seems as though Fitbit is making a CHOICE to exclude this data from the API, and it's a choice that is directly in conflict with the product's goals of informing the user "where they stand" so they can consciously and easily make the best decisions in their food and exercise choices.

Are you aware of any watch faces/registered apps that sync with Fitbit that have made this technical solution work? I think that's the short answer.

Longterm answer is can Fitbit explain why they are not extending the API?
