Clock face with seconds AND date

[Obease_Duck]

I have the Charge HR and I like the clock face with seconds, but would also love to have one that display the date (in MM/DD or DD/MM or full DD/MM/YY or DD_Mmm format) as well. Might be a tight squeeze, but maybe you can figure out a way to arrange all that info.

Hello, I have had my Charge for a week now and I really like it.  However I am very disappointed that there is only one option that shows the date which is very hard to read as it is so small with the time above it.   I love how big the text can be if it's full screen so why not offer this option  >  >   Have the time appear first full screen, then have it scroll left to reveal the date (also full screen) with just the 3 digit abbreviation (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc) and the date.  Feb 14   And what about offerring this option with a few different font options.  I find the skinny fonts nice but hard to read.  Heavier bolder fonts please!!

Hello. I would like to see clocks for the Surge and Change that use numbers for the date. Not the month. I never write out a date as Aug 8.

It's always written as 8 / 8. To me it is easier if the date is shown in number format.

I think this would be fine if it is selectable examples would be just like you are setting up your computer or in documents.

How about users in Europe? There today's date is written as 15. 8. 2015.

That would be good too!

Can someone please tell me how do I get it to show the date?  Thank you.

[SilviaFitbit]

That's a great idea! Currently, you have the option to choose a display that will show the time and date but you can't customize it as you mentioned with MM/DD or DD/MM.    

Thank you for visiting the Feature Request board .

Hi Silvia. Any word on if anything like this is coming soon? I think it would be great especially now with quick view. I could quit wearing my watch!

[SLMcc]

Just wondering if this has been taken into consideration?  I now have added a Charge 2 and wear it as my watch. I'd really appreciate having numbers for the date. Thanks!

Hi can someone tell me how to change the format from 24 to 12 hours in my blaze? Thanks

[SunsetRunner]

Hello. Fitbit users have been requesting via Help questions FOR YEARS that you provide options to change the date format just like one is able to choose a 24-hour clock and I'm appalled that this hasn't been resolved. You offer options for units of measurement, why not the DATE FORMAT?  Cheers.

I’m a nurse and I need a clock face that has both the month/date AND seconds! I don’t mind if the letters are small or it says “Aug 8” vs “8/8”, as long as the date is on there! 

[SunsetRunner]

The date is there. It depends on the watch face you choose. And it does
matter if it says 08 August or the horrid August 08. And you want seconds.
Get a, erm, watch.

PLEASE an option for day/month/year format.

America is the ONLY country in the world that solely uses the month/day/year format!

There are a couple of countries use the year/month/day format (which at least sorts correctly on a computer) and the rest of us use the day/month/year format.

It's SO confusing, in other places in the world, when you're presented with a date such as 5/8/2018. Is it 5th-August-2018 or 8th-May-2018?

Sure keep the unusual date format for the Americans but please let the rest of the world have an option for the date system we all use.

[SunsetRunner]

Exactly! I couldn't have said it better. People have been asking for this
for years. We have the option, at least on the Fitbit Versa, to choose
metric, why not fix the date problem! I really can't stand looking at the
watch and seeing Jun 16 instead of 16 June. Abbreviate if you must!

Having the date on The clockface would be great... CHARGE 3

[Julz70]

I’m a support worker in a day centre, I constantly am asked the date and the new charge 3 has me,and seemingly most of the fitbit Community , frustrated by the fact it has no option to have the date on the clock face as it is on the charge 2...............maybe the option should be given! Come on Fitbit a newer model is supposed to be an upgrade, not sure if it feels this way atm!

Any chance of getting this on the Charge 2?

[Subguy]

I love the classic digital watch face for the Inspire, but since it doesn't display the date, I have no way of seeing the date on my Inspire while using that watch face. I suggest adding a similar digital watch face but just shrink the time and show the date below.
