Clock face with steps and active minutes?

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

I decided to "upgrade" from a Charge 2 to a Charge 4, but I'm dismayed to discover that the way I had set up my screen on the Charge 2 seems to be impossible on the Charge 4.  All I really care about is time, steps, and active minutes (displayed as numbers, not as progress circles or whatever those things are called), all on the screen at once without any annoying tapping or swiping.  This doesn't appear to be an option with the built-in, silly Charge 4 clock face apps.  This new app-based approach that doesn't provide simple, flexible customization of the screen is a HUGE step backward in the guise of technological "progress".

 

But I'm posting this because perhaps I'm overlooking something and there is a way to do what I want?  To reiterate, I want a display that shows time, steps, and active minutes on the screen at the same time, in the form of numbers rather than progress circles.  If there's more info on the screen, that's OK, as long as those basic requirements are met.  So is there a way to do this?  If not, I'm utterly baffled that the clock face app "designers" wouldn't provide an option for this, as it seems like it would be a pretty common customer requirement.

Hi @DCCat , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message and feedback. 

 

There are a lot of different Clock faces for the Charge 4 with different designs on how the stats are shown. 

Some that do not include the progress bar/circle, could be eg. " Stats Heavy", "Mod Clock Date", Analog date, etc. 

 

If you wish to change the shown stat some of those clock faces support that you tap on the display to change it. How do I change the clock face on my Fitbit device?

 

See you around.

As you should have discerned from my post, I'm not interested in tapping to cycle through the data to see what I want.  I just want it to always tell me the two simple things I want to see at a glance, like the Charge 2 would easily allow me to customize the display to do.

 

The fact that "Stats Heavy" doesn't show one of those two things is, frankly, ridiculous.

 

I guess your answer confirms that there is no way to get this supposedly "upgraded" device to do what I want.  Thanks to your designers for blindly embracing new "app" technology that's actually more inflexible than the technology it replaced.

 

It's too late to return this thing, so I guess I'll have to try to sell it.  Of course, I wouldn't even need something new if you would just offer a service to change the battery of old devices.
