Option for clock face to stay on?

[Gaibibi]

Is there a way to keep the clock face on? Aside from using it as a fitness tracker, I do want to be able to see the time without clicking a button every time. I don't find a manual so I don't know if there is a setting for this. Thanks in advance.

There's an auto wake setting so it should come on when you raise your wrist. Hold the left button and then swipe to the right to find the setting. I don't know if there's an option for an always on screen though. Keep in mind, if there is it would drastically reduce the battery life.

Edited because apparently I don't know my directions!

Hi John, thanks so much! This is good enough for me. Appreciate your help!

Glad I could help.

And HERE is the User Manual.

It may depend on which clock face, but I did select one that you can go to settings of the clock face itself and select always on. So the answer is yes...it is possible.

@Jowily Which clock face did you choose?

Hi Jowily! 

Which watch face are you using?  I need a watch face with seconds for first aid volunteering and really don't want to have to put on a normal watch....  Thanks!!

Nothing Special was one I did...but there may have been more 

[Mothrasue]

Flat Jarvis has an always on option (tap screen 3 times) which is easily turned off (tap screen 3 more times).  Free, too!

[AlannaM]

I chose nothing special and edited my settings to add seconds. I turned
the screen of at night and went to bed with a full battery. I woke to my
Fitbit at 56% so I assume the clock options killed my battery. I recharged
it before going out and it's back down to 54% after 9 hours. I kept the
auto screen off all day and turned off all day sync.
I've just changed back to the standard clock to see if my Fitbit is
defective or if it's the clock.

[Jowily]

If you keep it on all the time it will die in about a day...just like the Apple Watch, which is always on.  The fact that it isn’t always on let’s the Fitbit run a lot longer...but if it is on constantly it will run the battery down. Happened to me and it lasted about a day tops,  back to the regular way Fitbit works and I got 3 1/2 days.

Which one was it?

[EJDH]

Thanks! Just getting to know the variously options. Very helpful 🌸

Is there an analog option for one that stays on all the time?

[cft98208]

I just switched to TH3, an analog face. I didn't like the previous analog face because it did not reliably come on when I raised my wrist to look at it. The TH3 does, so I don't really need to have it stay on all the time.

The watch isn't as responding when turning ones wrist. I find 4 out of 5 times the watch does light up when I turn my wrist. I have to wiggle my arm or tap the screen. I have the watch on reasonably tight. Deal breaker for me.

My versa works fine on wrist movement, slightest twist.Of wrist.

Lot of inconsistencies this product, wouldn't recommend to anyone, only I got for free.  As a fitnes watch  total failure.

10 years have been using Polar, compared the two.

Only thing that is accurate, HB. 

I STILL BHAVE TO CARRY WITH ME MY Polar with me for constant HB, RATHER COUNTERINTUITIVE

DOES TELL THE TIME THOUGH!! 

Don't go anywhere nearest iat

Tracking, steps, pace, cardio, fat burn, totally miss readings

[ffranny]

I still would like the option to keep the clock face on, even if it's just for a set period.
