I'm  an Englishman living in Germany and as such, although my location is Germany I prefer the languages on my devices to be English.

Now the app on my phone is in English but the watch is in German. How do I get the watch to change to English?

Hi there @stevejinde, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post, I'll be glad to help you to change the language on your Versa 3 to English. 

If the language keeps reverting to German, make sure your phone is also in the language you want. The app will grab the setting from your phone.

  1. In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > your profile picture.
  2. Tap Advanced Settings > Country.
  3. Turn off the option to automatically detect your country.
  4. Choose your country, then sync your device.
  5. Follow the instructions to update your device to use the language you selected.

Note that your Fitbit device uses the same language that you use for your Fitbit account.

Hello, 

This instructions doesn't work for me. Could you please let me know how can I change the language on my Fitbit Versa 3 from German to English? The language on my phone and on the app is English, yet the device language is German. The above instructions doesn't provide solution for me.

 

Thank you!
