Ive just received my new Inspire 3 to replace an Inspire HR which has given up the ghost after 2.5 years.
Like everyone else, I am gutted that the simple, pre-existing setting of a stats heavy clock face is not available on this supposedly more modern version. Again to repeat others, I don’t want to be faffing around clicking or tapping my device to see my stats, I want to be able to click once and see everything.
I created an account and setup a profile just to comment here. Not having a stats heavy watch face is a DOWNGRADE from previous models. I actually regret this purchase and have been thinking about switching back to my old inspire. Do the people that design this stuff actually use it? When you swipe down the heart rate stats don't even fit on the screen. C'mon fitbit. Do right and fix this mess.
Update: I returned my Fitbit Inspire 3 and went back to the Inspire HR.
I haven't seen any update from Fitbit. Fitbit has completely dropped the ball in understanding why the Inspire HR was successful. The Inspire HR is good because it has a small profile, while also having a simple display that gives you all of your stats in one flick of the wrist. There is no way to select a watch face to show Steps, Heartrate, Calories, Distance, and Time in one view. The inspire 3 is a joke.
Please, please, please do this. I'm not super concerned about the stats but I'd kill for a plain simple clock face that shows the hour and minutes ALL ON ONE ROW and then shows current steps below that. Maybe heartrate also. Those are the only three things I use my fitbit for and it's absolutely infuriating that my brand-new "better" Inspire model doesn't give me any options to have the time in a format that's readable to me. I'm autistic and my brain really cannot process this format of time:
12
58
Is it really that hard to have ONE option that shows "12:58" like a normal watch? Just one?
I wear a watch plus my fitbit. Time display on the fitbit is redundant, I'm here for the stats. Like others have said, did not even occur to me to check if this would be a problem when I bought it. Confused and waiting for this.
Yes please add a stats heavy clock face. I did not consider the possibility that one wouldn't be available when I bought this. Seriously considering returning this and going with an Apple Watch instead.
I agree with the others. This is so basic. Why do most people use a fitness tracker? The main purpose is NOT to tell time.
Please release a stats heavy option, or at a minimum acknowledge whether this is being considered. I spent several hours researching trackers and was just about ready to purchase the Inspire 3 when I learned this basic feature was missing. Now I am having serious second thoughts.
I'm also disappointed Fitbit has not acknowledged this request from the community. I like to purchase products from companies that value their customer requests and opinions.
This is such a silly problem, if I had known there wouldn't be a stats-heavy watch-face I wouldn't have bought an Inspire 3. This is not a smart watch, it's a tracker, so why does the tracker part take up 10% of the screen?
This is really needed. One of my favorite things about the inspire 3 is seeing more concurrent stats during workouts. I don't want a watch, I want a stat tracker. To put so much screen real estate to the watch portion on every face and so little to stats seems antithetical to why most of us buy fitness bands rather than smart watches in the first place. We're here for the data! And the more easily it is accessed, the more valuable the tracker is.
Yes, this may be a health and fitness tracker watch, but this is still a digital wearable watch; one primary use-case for people to purchase a digital watch is to have the flexibility to do more, see more, and customize more clock faces than a usual analog watch could.
Let's have more clock faces. Especially, for a stats-heavy. Exercising e.g. running or biking mid-way while having to swipe/interact with the watch takes the eyes off the road, and it can be a dangerous thing to do.
