Charge 6 clock face with time (hh:mm), heart rate and HR zone

The Charge series are marketed as fitness wearables but none of the Charge 6 faces are suitable. Basic requirements are, on the 'home' screen:
Time hh:mm
Heart rate
HR zone

In clear bright text readable at a glance. No need for fancy fonts, colors, animations. My old Charge 4 did that perfectly.

I agree.  The faces on the Charge 6 looks like they were designed by children with crayons.  None of them works well for people using the tracker for fitness.  On the main screen no easy options for steps, distance, time, heart rate, etc.  In other words stats that relate to a person exercising or one who cares about daily exercise totals.  Trying to be trendy is not bad, just don't pretend that everyone wants an orange and purple fuzzy time and date clock face.

Easy to read stats with a time and date clockface.  One that does not require taps to view, and one that allows you to add or subtract stats on the main face.

I agree. I purchased the premium so that I could get a clock face similar to the one in the HR4.

I purchased the Charge 6 recently specifically for its purported value in monitoring heart rate and rhythm.  I too was disappointed to find that there is no way to display a prominent HR only so that you can see it without wearing glasses or straining your eyes as you try to hold your hand steady while exercising.  I didn't buy this device to be a watch and I would guess that most people nowadays don't use watches (everyone uses their phone) so please, please add a simple clock face WITHOUT a clock (or at least not in the large font) that lets the user display just HR or whatever heart stats they want.  -And make it easy to set to always on for the duration of a work out so you you don't have to tap the face or side button with your other hand that might be doing something important-like holding on to an elliptical arm or rowing machine, or even the treadmill handles for those who are unsteady. This is a safety issue as well as a user preference issue.
