Enable Celsius units on weather app without having to change distance to kilometers Ionic/Versa

Currently the ionic will only  display Celsius units when the distance unit is in 'kilometres'. It would be great if the ionic weather app displayed Celsius units regardless of the distance unit selected .... E.g, miles .

Hi Molly

 

Unfortunately no one at fitbit reads these posts except at the Christmas party when they are looking for a laugh.

It may be best to assume that it wont be fixed before the end of winter and invest in several new coats     Smiley Happy

Well someone must be looking as the number of emails keeps getting smaller!

Some one must be deleting them?

Option not showing on Ionic, only option in weather is city’s. Checked for so update and Ionic update and all upto date. So looks like still not implemented.

 

Is the option to choose meant to be in the weather app settings? or are you realising an update to the app?

Mines the same, only showing cities and nothing else.

Kind regards

I'm getting the same when I go to the weather app settings via fitbit app - click settings and only see cities no option to change temperature settings.

When is this going to roll out?

This is now beyond pathetic from a global company. The fact that this is not already in the app/ watches programming from purchase baffles me.

There is nothing in the link you have just sent that I haven't tried since buying the product, a software update is needed. 

It's a simple fix. hurry Fitbit and get it sorted.

How after so many months can you get it wrong!
There is only choice of city not temperature option.
I can’t believe after waiting so long, you finally pretend to do something to leave us more disappointed.
Oh and thanks for are votes counting as 5 now, 5 x as much for you not to listen or care about us.

Update date shows as March 2 2018 so has someone not released the update?

My versa recieved something yesterday eve, as evidenced by the fitbit icon appearing, but I'm not sure how to select the appropriate units. Can a moderator please post detailed instructions on how to change temp to °C AND distance to miles, as the link goes to an unhelpful document and when you look all you see to be able to change on weather is add cities for location

Can you publish detailed instructions as when I look on the page you've linked to I can't see anyway of changing temp in weather,  just cities, not can I see how to change distance to miles.

They can’t even get the update right, never mind giving out correct instructions.

Thought mine had autoupdated because of the way the watch behaved last eve. Changed distance to imperial , what a surprise now temp is °F! No option in weather to select °C just "cities" this is rubbish Fitbit!

Hi everybody.

 

I've been informed that this update has been gone out to 10% of users and it is currently paused to make sure everything works as intended. It should be released soon. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

How pathetic. I’m now beginning to lose my faith in your so called technicians who can not do a simple roll or update to a function that should have been in the box.

Kind regards

10% is a rather poor test criteria. The test should have been actioned
against those users that lobbied for the change and not a random bunch.

If it went out to a random 10% and I can't see any change then why did my fitbit update itself at about 10.30 yesterday evening UK time?

Not really released is it?

Big sigh!

this is getting worse not better 

Well I have updated my fitbit tonight and the weather now shows in Centigrade. I haven't changed any settings so I have no idea how it decided I wanted to use Centigrade for temperature, but for now it seems all is working for me.

 

I will keep you posted if I find out what I have set up that triggered the weather app to switch to Centigrade !

 

Update

Found it, in the fitbit app go to your apps and you will see there is now a setting option for the weather app. This can now be set to which scale you wish to use. Looks like its fixed if you can get the update ….
