Enable Fitbit studio to create apps/clock faces for Charge 6

[exzl]

Since you control all what is allowed as clocks/faces on this device, consider offering more choices and or customization. The charge 6 is already severely held back with no 3rd party allowed by choice. Clocks would be a nice compromise for this little device don't you agree? Such a small change would help keep the customers too.

Can Inspire 3 clock face options be made available on the Charge 6? The default on the Inspire is very clean and simple. The Charge 6 clock faces are frankly not something I would want seen in at work, limiting the watches utility.

There should be a way to use a face designer to make your own face on a Fitbit Charge 6, or submit their own to the app for others to use.

Dear Fitbit Team,

I'm writing to express my concern about the limited options available for customizing clock themes on Fitbit devices. While I appreciate the existing options, I believe there's potential for significant improvement that would benefit both users and Fitbit itself.

Accessibility and Choice:

As someone with [mention your specific vision needs, e.g., difficulty seeing certain colors], I find many current clock themes difficult to read. Allowing greater customization, particularly through features like adjustable fonts, colors, and layouts, would significantly improve accessibility for users with various vision needs. Additionally, many users, myself included, simply prefer more design options to personalize their Fitbit experience.

Proposed Solutions:

Curated Third-Party Themes: Consider partnering with select developers to offer a curated selection of third-party clock themes that meet strict privacy and security standards. This would provide users with more diverse options while ensuring data protection.

User-Created Themes with Accessibility Features: Explore the possibility of allowing users to create their own clock themes, with built-in accessibility features like adjustable fonts and color contrast options. This could empower users and cater to specific needs, especially for those with vision impairments.

Benefits for all:

Increased customization options would not only improve user satisfaction and accessibility but also potentially attract new customers seeking a more personalized experience. Additionally, user-created themes could foster a vibrant community of creators and contribute to the overall Fitbit ecosystem.

Privacy and Security Considerations:

I understand the importance of protecting user privacy and data security. Any proposed solutions should prioritize these aspects through measures like rigorous developer vetting, limited data access for third-party apps, and straightforward user controls over data sharing.

Thank you for considering my suggestions. I believe that by working together, we can find solutions that enhance the Fitbit experience for all users while upholding privacy and security principles.

 Sincerely,
