Customisable watch faces for ALL devices

Everyone have different needs or interests on what he want to see when he raise his wristband; something that works for me may not be appreciated from everyone else.
So I thought: why can't we create our own watch faces? It world be very useful to have an interface where we can decide what we can see ( setting font and size ) and in which order.
I don't think it would be too hard for you to do something like that. If you'd only hear us...

I would really like to see the ability to customize aspects of individual watchfaces from the Fitbit app. Many smart watches allow the user to customize faces: on the Apple Watch, users have the ability to add a background picture to watchfaces, change the color of the time/date readouts, or change the color of other aspects of the warchface. For instance, the ability to change the color-scheme of the chronous watchface would allow for a more individualized and personal experience, and a departure from the somewhat child-like theme that Fitbit decided to go for. Additionally, this may put an end to the countless requests for more watchfaces, as users will no longer have the desperate need to search for a watchface that suits their personality. I understand that blaze (or any other Fitbit device with a screen) isn't meant to be a fully blown smartwarch, however just as one's fitness journey is very personal, the watchface on an individual's fitness tracker should be a reflection of their goals, aspirations, and overall personality.

I requested something similar once, it didn't gain a lot of momentum. Hope this one does, though!

I posted the link to this suggestion in some similar topic. Let's see if it gets enough votes.

I cannot +1 this enough.

 

I would love to create a face with no clock, just calories, steps and heartrate.  I wear a watch, so I do not need a clock and have disables the quickview because of it.

Absolutely.  I'm over 60 and need reading glasses which I don't wear when walking.  I would like to be able to choose a larger font.

I've considered getting a Blaze, but I'm still using my Pebble Time since, as a developer, I like to customize my devices including creating my own watch faces.  Since Fitbit recently acquired Pebble, it would be nice to integrate a lot of the developer-friendly features of the Pebble smartwatches, including creating your own watch faces, into Fitbit's newer smartwatches.

On the Charge2 the screen gives the Month, Date and Time.

I use it to check the time all day long. 5 Stars!!

I use it to quickly get the date often. 5 More Stars!!

Month!!!! not so much. I think I already know what month it is. 1 Star!!

How about giving the day of week instead of month. That would be 5 Stars!!

 

Come to think of it, I'm retired so what do I care what day it is.

Seriously, day instead of month would be nice.

Year, nope, I'm good, don't need that.

None of the Ionic Watch faces show miles? I don’t get it?

 

I’m not fussed about heart rate, but in a lot of the Fitbit challenges I do, I need to track Steps/Miles/cals/Mins. Can’t find a single face that does that!

Customise the watchface on the blaze do as we can use any watchface in any colour or make a custom face with the necessary icons.
