Change from calories to kilojoules

[Sandys08]

I set up my Chargd 2 with calories is stead of kilojoules - how can I change that?

[SteveH · Accepted solution]

Sorry, but at the moment there is no option for kilojoules.

There is a popular feature request for this though and you can add your vote here:

this. is not a solution

Sorry @registradus apparently @Sandys08 felt it was. 

Currently this is not possible, as @SteveH has pointed out, the best course is to let Fitbit be aware that there are users who would like this option. 

So technically it is not a solution, but it is the only course available to anyone who wants this option.

This is NOT solved.

Marking a post as a solution means that the question has been answered. It may not be the answer you want but it is answered. If you want to change the way things work then that's where the feature suggestions section of the community comes into play.

Hello @MikkE apparently @Sandys08 got a satisfactory answer to her question and felt it was answered to her satisfaction.

 Please remember that we are in the comunity of Fitbit users and here to help with hardware support. We have the Feature Suggestion board to etti the developers know what the users would like to see. The more votes the better chance of getting a suggestion implemented.

As for this feature getting added to fitbit, it doesn't seem to be a popular suggestion with only 816 votes in a 5 year period.

Have you added your vote?

Option to show Kilojoules in Dashboard and all app...

[MikkE]

You don't need me or any online survey to tell you how many fitbits you sell outside the USA and maybe the UK. It will be exactly that proportion of users who like me are amazed that what I thought to be an international company are still using calories.

[Rich_Laue]

Apparently someone at Fitbit door not think it through, and users will need to bring it too fitbits attention. if

Yes, quite popular.

Also, raised 5 years ago.

Also, "not currently planned".

Strange how Americans think that their obscure ways are actually popular (non-metric).

[KohrsAnja]

Two years later, noy yet available?

[psg_au]

Agreed.

its only a number, a conversion from a to b.... should be 30seconds work for the firmware guys...

pathetic that it hasn’t been actioned yet....

[Rich_Laue]

Has there been a request in the Feature Suggestion board. 

Simply discussing the issue among your selves may not get the change implemented.
