Wearing on Right Arm - Flip Screen?

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

I’m wearing my watch on my right arm. It’s more comfortable even if I’m actually a righty. That’s not the issue. Would like to know if there’s any interest in creating an option to flip the screen if you’re wearing the watch on the right arm. That would make the buttons easier to use. Big  button for your thumb and the 2 buttons for your index finger. What do actual lefties think about that? Certainly isn’t an option for mechanical watches but a Smartwatch should be able to do that.

@SunsetRunner That's hilarious. I'm a lefty and I'm so used to things being more difficult for me that it never entered my head that I was at a disadvantage with my Fitbit buttons. Now I can't unsee it!

@SunsetRunner  There is a similar Feature Request asking for this feature on a Charge 2.  The answer from the Fitbit moderator is Not Currently Planned.  The reason mentions hardware requirements.  The issue that I see is that the Quick View works in one direction. 

 

Fitbit might change its mind if there are enough requests.

Lefties make some noise. I’m not a Lefty but I’d love to see this option.
How about a watchface developer making a lefty watchface? Could that be a
viable workaround?

I'm a lefty and wear my watch on my right arm and constantly hitting the button. I vote we should be able to flip the screen so I can turn it around!

Best Answer

Yes I'm a lefty and I think I'll be returning the fitbit since it does not have that option.

 

Looks like i'll be sticking with my samsung watches

I just got my fitbit versa 2 and i'm SHOCKED to hear there's no way to flip the orientation.  This feature seems like it would be a no brainer???

Bummer. Hard to believe they haven't done this yet. Makes me think they need a few Lefties on board.
