Can change display from right hand to left hand

[BoricuaGirl]

How can I change by fitbit from right wrist to the left.

[JohnnyRow · Accepted solution]

In device settings, there is an option "Wrist Placement" left or right.

@BoricuaGirl I hope you're doing well! Just take into consideration that changing the settings like @JohnnyRow suggested will only tell the tracker where are you wearing it it won't rotate the screen to be won on the other hand. If this is what you actually want then you can vote for the idea in our Feature suggestions board. The more popular an idea becomes the more likely the developers will try to implement it.

Let me know how it goes!

Just flip it around so the button is on the other side

I have to agree with @rebel3217, because most people are right handed. The Charge 2, like most watches, is designed to be worn on the left arm. The button is on the wrong side when worn on the right wrist. 

The button is not a winding stem, and is possitioned so that the thumb, the stronger digit, can press it.

Actually I wear mine on my left arm and when pushing the button with my right hand I come from the top and place my thumb on the side without the button and press the button with my index finger. Just seems more natural to me.

I did that but it did not change.

@BobSt It's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community! The setting above will tell the system where are you wearing your tracker so it knows if it is on the dominant or non dominant hand but it won't rotate the screen if that is what you are trying to do. If you are interested in this feature you can vote for the idea in our Feature suggestions board, the more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement.

Changed hand in settings but has not changed on bit

[Paulhavo1963]

All I want to do is rotate the screen!

How to change display from right to left hand

Where can I find the setting to change it

@Rose3560 scroll up and read the best answer .

that is not the best answer - a left handed wants to have the button at the other side of the screen - other smartwatches have solved this with rotating the screen (that we are a minority, doesn't solve this issue)

[TheColdOne]

The feature is archived. Is this just a lost cause for left-handers who wear the watch on the right hand? 

Not only is it a little harder to press the button with the index finger, but sometimes the button is accidentally pressed if I am bending my wrist back. I've accidentally paused workouts doing that before and had to push it up my arm a bit.

This still doesn't seem to have been resolved. I recently bought the versa 3 and had exactly the same issue. When looking, all the new devices come with a sensor rather than an actual button meaning they are all going to do the same thing. I've had to look at alternative options by competitors to get around this.

[Rich_Laue]

@BB3df0rd in what way.has it not been resolved, and why is this a question at all. 

Your fitbit device is designed to be worn on the left hand. Most people at right handed and wear a watch on their left hand. 

Fitbit does not have a winding stem, but a button, which is placed in the best place for the thumb to press. 

Currently it would be a little awkward to be worn on the right arm because the button is not near the top (likegthe AW)
