I am a left handed individual and it constantly amazes me that, even today, people don't think about the left handed community.  I just want to be able to switch the orientation of my screen so that the button is on the outside. This has literally been a feature on smart phones since that start, so I was surprised to find that my NEW smart watch does not have this feature.  We're just asking for inclusion, I mean I'm already forced to struggle in a world that is set up for right handed people.   I NEVER have access to the correct scissors without buying special ones, even computer mouses are set up to those other people, and don't even get me started on non-tech can openers.  I thought today's world included inclusivity of ALL types of people, yet everyone is leaving us lefties out in the wind.  I call it un-fair practice and demand for people to start seeing our needs!

Hi @Htstarr  - have a look in the gallery for left handed Clock faces, such as SimpleClockPro-L which has a rotated face so the button can be the other side.

 

It may be useful in the interim while waiting for Fitbit to provide the full option.

Thank you for your passion and for expressing these issues so well. Right there with you! I keep activating the stupid button just from *gasp* using my hand. Please hear us, Fitbit! Lefties matter too.
