Could you ask the developer to add the steps to always on display in addition to time and date. It is annoying to have tap the screen to view steps whilst out running.
Hi @Jrwrun, and thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about adding more Inspire 3 clock faces that shows 'Steps' always on display.

This is a must-have for me. There was one on the Inspire 2 that showed steps on the Home Screen. Very disappointed there’s not a Home Screen that shows step count on the Inspire 3.
Add me to the list who is VERY disappointed that the Inspire 3 doesn't default to a screen with JUST the time, date and steps. I don't really care about the other information, and sometimes I get caught up in trying to deal with screens I don't even want to see. How can a simple layout NOT be a user's choice? I am almost ready to go back to my Charge 2.
Add me to the list of users that are disappointed that the Inspire 3 does not default to a screen with just the date/time/steps. I had a Charge 3 for 5 years that had this basic function that I loved. I had an accident and the screen cracked, so I had to get a new fitbit. Imagine my surprise that my brand spanking new fitbit cannot provide this simple layout. Instead it has many ways to show how much effort was exerted. I just want my date/time/steps! Had I known this I would not have purchased a new fitbit. VERY FRUSTRATING TO LOYAL FITBIT USERS. We just want what we had in our older versions.
You may also add me to the list! Just received and set up my Inspire 3..and want the time and steps on main face screen..currently shows time and calories..this is really inconvenient since it’s supposed to be a step tracker…may have to go back to my Versa 3.. but that’s been acting up lately…showing flights of stairs climbed when I haven’t done any?? Wanted something on smaller scale too..but don’t know if this will cut it..
I just brought the inspire 3 after having an alta hr. This is a digital watch ans I'm getting annoyed that I can't choose steps and clock a default hence why I came here for a solution. Disappointed to see there isn't one!
I just got the Inspire 3 as my 1st tracker. I tried for a long time to find the setting to put steps on the home screen, as it is the main thing I want from a tracker.
I am quite shocked that this is not allowed.
I'm afraid I have returned the Fitbit and am going with another brand.
I can’t believe there is no clock face that shows your steps ! This is my third Fitbit and I just assumed it would be there like others I’ve owned. So disappointed with this. Steps are the main thing I use my Fitbit for and to have to swipe up each time is ridiculous- please update this to reflect the options available on other fitbits.
I am also dissatisfied with my Inspire 3 for this very reason. Why would Fitbit not allow the user to choose the step count as a permanent part of the clock face? Since I cannot think of any reason that makes sense, I almost wonder whether it might somehow benefit Fitbit’s bottom line to leave out that option from Inspire 3.
Just got my Inspire 3 yesterday. Spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. I see I'm not alone. How can I device meant to track steps, not have it showing on default screen? Somebody help......
Agree with this feature to always display steps as a must have. I’m honestly pretty disappointed with the display limitations of my inspire 3 and having to tap several times to view steps is incredibly annoying. I may just switch to Apple Watch for this feature + customization alone.
I saw an update on the inspire 3 and really hoped we would get more clock face so u could choose clock and steps as an option but no. Any update on this please?
I see I’m not the first to be frustrated with a Fitbit that does not show the time, date and steps without needing to touch the screen. It seems like a pretty basic feature, that most of us expected to be available. I had an Inspire 2 previously and feel that the older model is actually much more user friendly, and had a much larger variety of clock face options.
It has been more than two years since the original post was made. There is unanimous agreement in the comments that this is a problem for consumers. I cannot understand why you haven't updated the clock faces to include step count. Fitbit, you are not being responsive to the needs of your customer.
