Sadly not, Fitbit is behind the curve in supporting non-Latin characters

[panagiotis]

That is indeed very disappointing. I could understand for devices with less memory and capabilities the lack of support of international characters, but this device has more than enough storage for 300 songs, they could give up the space of one song to have a proper user experience for us not using only English in our communication.

Can anyone from fitbit reply if support for international characters is foreseen and when?

Ah, Good to know. Must be just the Greek and Russians who lack.

Thank you for the info. Can I ask you to check if this text "Παναγιώτης" will appear as a notification or a caller id or a calendar event on the watch?

(it is just my name in Greek)

Thanks,

Greek will not work. Neither  cyrillic , Hebrew or Arabic.

Its 2017 and Fitbit is still in the 80's
