Customize what features show on the watch

I don’t want YouTube, maps etc on my Fitbit watch. Make it so you can turn on/off features you want (similar to how you used to be able to choose what exercises to preload). Or make a pared-down fitness watch for people who just wanna be able to focus on their health. Kind of ironic that they have workouts and meditation but they’re hard to get to

Totally agree with this suggestion having the option to customize which apps and features appear on the watch face would make the Fitbit experience much smoother and more personal. A simplified interface focused purely on fitness, health, and mindfulness would be ideal for users who don’t need extra apps like YouTube or Maps cluttering the menu.Fitbit could even introduce a “Wellness Mode” that prioritizes core health metrics, workouts, sleep, and mindfulness tools for distraction-free use. It’s all about giving users control and keeping the watch efficient for what matters most  health and fitness.

Many users agree that the ability to turn on or off specific features—similar to the legacy option of selecting preloaded exercises—would significantly improve the user interface by reducing clutter. This would make core functions like workouts and meditation more accessible, aligning the device more closely with its health-focused purpose.
