Analog clock face for Fitbit Ace

I'd like the ability to have a clock face on the Fitbit Ace that is not digital - i.e. a clock face with hands.

My daughter is learning to tell the time, and I would like to encourage her to learn the time on an analog clock rather than come to rely on the numbers.

I would also really like the ability to have an analogue watch face for kids devices.

 

I am in the middle of teaching both my children how to tell the time using a real (analogue) watch-face and I will not get them a tracker that is unable to display a watch-face.

 

I know they would both love to have an Ace 2 so come on FitBit - give me an opportunity to buy 2 more devices!

 

thanks

Looking for an analog watch to help our child learn to tell & track time. I’d love to be able to buy an Ace, but unless it has an analog clock face, it’s a no-go.

Does the new Fitbit Ace 2 have an analogue clock face option? Thanks.

My 7 year old daughter is desperate to have a Fitbit like me. 

I keep saying no as there isn’t an analogue clock face.

I hope that this is something that you can provide soon.

Hi, is there any update on when the Ace 2 or another child's fitbit will be released with an analogue clock face? Thank you.

There is now an analogue clock face however the numbers are missing. Please add them. Also noted that when the time is 1:05 there's a single line with no distinction between the two hands. It's confusing. Perhaps a marginally thicker hour hand will fix this?

My daughter loves her new ACE2 but I fear it may hinder her learning to tell the time as there is not an analogue watch face option with clear numbers - it would be awesome if you could develop one to help with this?

Hi @Nualacait, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". You can learn more about here. Keep adding your suggestions!

I’d like to suggest an analog/traditional clock face with numbers on it. My son has an Ace 2 and was hoping for a traditional/analog clock face with numbers on the face.  He is currently learning to read a traditional clock and the only option in the clock store doesn’t have numbers on it (not to mention that the clock face options in general are lacking for the Ace 2).

Thank you for this information.

It is not appearing as an option for clock faces at the moment. When is it going to be released please?

Thank you

My son is learning to tell the time and it would be useful to have a watch face with numbers that was kid friendly rather than the current analogue face you currently have.

Thanks

My son is Learning the clock as well. We have tried that analog option, but his does get confused without the numbers still.  It is to the point that he has stopped wearing his Fit Bit in favor of a basic watch he can learn with.  Is there a time frame when this option may be available?

We need to see an option for an Analogue clock face with numbers on it. My son is earning to tell time and wants to learn the analogue face. It is nice to see an analogue option was added, but does not have numbers. This is making harder for learners.

@YojanaFitbit  I have seen the Analog face that is offered for the Ace 2. This is not what
I am looking for. The one offered does NOT have numbers on it. For a
child learning, they need numbers to help.
