Allow the Clock Time to be set Manually

I want to have my Fitbit Charge 6 clock set 5 mins fast, just like I have my phone and every clock in my house set 5 mins fast. But I cannot manually change the time on my Fitbit watch. Instead I am forced to have it set to a time zone.
This is needed because:
It’s really disappointing that this very basic feature is missing. This limits my personal choice and causes confusion in my daily routine. Currently my options seem to be to carry on doing metal math every time I glance at my watch, or start wearing 2 watches - obviously neither option is great.
I'd use this: Daily

Hi @Cedes - did you try to not use automatic time zone settings in the Fitbit app, normally a watch should follow the phone's time?

For Fitbit smart watches the SimpleSecretaryDual clock face has an option to adjust the watch time display, the other multiple time zones displayed however will continue to show their real time.
