Day of the week to "Double Retro Stat" clock-face

OK, it appears helpful to make a specific, NEW, suggestion.  I'll do that then (the moderator can decided whether to merge this to one of the on-going Charge 3 watch face discussions, of course.)  Several people have asked to have day of the week added to more than one of the existing faces.  The recent update only added it to one face, and that not a very popular one, I gather.  I forget what the face I'm using now is called (I don't have my phone here to check),  but it has time, date, steps, and heart rate on the primary face, in fairly plain type.  My suggestion is to include the day of the week in the empty line after the date.  I don't think there's enough room to add it to the date without decreasing the font size, which would not be acceptable.

Thank you @TedL for sharing this suggestion with us. It would be great to have more clock faces that display the day of the week.  Let's hear what other Charge 3 user's think.

I object to merging my suggestion into "add day of the week to all clock faces."  I didn't say that, but, I'll admit that what I said could be construed that way.  I should have written it something like "create new clock faces from existing ones by adding day of the week, if it can be done without making it unreadable. But don't get rid of the old faces — some people want the day of the week, some don't. "

I agree and think more clock faces should include Day of Week.

Time, date and DAY plus a feature.

Adding the day of the week to some clock faces like the Mod Clock Date face since it is the same as the Mod Clock face at the moment, as well as getting some new one would be nice or giving us an option to add it to our clock face would be amazing

Need day of the week on clock faces. Had on my Alta HR and really miss it on Charge 3. Day of week is more important to me than date.

I've had my Inspire HR for less than 24 hours and the first thing I tried to do was increase the screen timeout. This morning I tried checking my pulse while swimming. In the water the touch seems less responsive, and the screen display would timeout before I could get to the pulse display. Frustrating and useless if I'm doing a set with only a few seconds available to check my pulse.

I would not buy this device again and would not recommend it to anyone without a setting to increase display time.

There are almost no clock-faces for Charge 3 where day of the week is displayed.

What about adding it in to an empty space of "Double Retro Stat" clock-face?

P.S. Is it possible to put clock-face sources in to public domain, so people can contribute there?

In this crazy new world of staying home, I can't keep track of the day of the week and what I need to do!   PLEASE add DAY OF THE WEEK to the digital VERSA clock face. . . we're having to deal with enough stuff without getting lost in which day of the week it is!

Hi @vitalis. Thanks for explaining why you'd like to see the day of the week in the "Double Retro Stat" clock-face for the Charge 3. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. That way we can keep this board organized, in addition to clearly understanding which idea other members are voting for. Don’t forget to click on the thumbs-up to show your support.

Fitbit charge 4 clock face change:
Please add the day of the week to the Retro Double Stat clock face.
And if you could add the % charge left that would be great. .

Hi @JTalHaven, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to add day of the week to "Double Retro Stat" clock-face. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

Hi,

Today 28.06.2023, almost 3 years later, we still don't have day of the week on "Double Retro Stat". What's the problem? You just have to add it like this (there's enough space for it): Mo 28 Jun.
Please tell me, when you'll change that, OR: why you don't want to change it.
Looking forward to your answer,
Wilfried
