Make more clock faces for Charge 6

[jrebs]

I just got my wife and I matching Charge 6 watches and while I'm overall pleased enough with the user experience so far, the clock face selection leaves a lot to be desired. The vast majority of the options are simply unusable. The remaining few acceptable ones still are not particularly endearing.

Any updates on this? Please bring more clock faces to Charge 6, or let us customize them (at least the colors).

Very poor selection currently available. I would like a nice simple analogue face suitable for when I use my metal strap at work or in the evening. Of the two existing analogue faces, one is too difficult to actually read the time at a glance and the other is too feminine for me (and at certain times of the hour it can be difficult to read, too).

Yes Id like to say the clock faces are a case of form over function, but I cant even say that. They are just a mess and need an urgent overhaul asap.

[NelsonEW]

I agree with others here. I just bought a Charge 6 because my Charge 4 bit the dust, and am sorely disappointed with the available clock faces. I want to see as much data displayed as possible in a readable fashion without having to go looking for it. The current clock faces are pretty much all glitz and no functionality. I liked the suggestion someone else made of porting Charge 4 clock faces to the Charge 6. Fitbit needs to not try to fix something that isn't broken!

Chrage 6 Versa needs more clock face options.

[HennieB]

It would be so nice if there were 3rd party support for clock faces, I really want to turn my watch into a pipboy! Pleeeeease make this happen ❤

[RallySmith]

Very (extremely) disappointed with the clock faces available on the Charge 6
As mentioned by others I do not want a funky, designed by a kid, on an angle, cut-off, over-designed mess.


If you are unable, or unwilling, to provide the ability for the community to provide sensible clock face options via a supported SDK, then at least provide *ONE* basic, professional, clock display - please.

A simple sans serif 24hr display, with option for date display and some other stats as a static "customisation" would probably make a lot of people happy.

Personally I only want to have the date and heartrate on the screen alongside the clock, so having the ability to have the extra information selected/configured *fixed* would avoid the annoyance of tapping repeatedly to find the only bit of information wanted due to accidentally tapping the screen and it tabbing onto some other information that I am not interested in.

I've recently replaced my charge 4 with a Charge 6 and when rowing I have to tap the watch face no less than 4 times to go from the unnecessarily oversized HR counter to see what my calorie count is. This is infuriating as I am trying to do it in between strokes to quickly grab the bars again with my hand.  To make it a million times worse, this sometimes turns the screen off instead of getting to the right counter, or I accidentally go past it. I absolutely cannot believe that I have to do this now.

How hard can it be to take a design that was working perfectly well and just apply it to a new device? It's not asking for much. I agree with the other comments that these clock faces are ridiculous and a step backwards in functionality and usability. I would give up the juvenile designs in a second for something that does not require multiple taps to see relevant information all the time.

[TomusParvus]

I completely agree with all of the comments here.  All I want is date and time, followed by calories and total steps, in one organized display.  The closest I can find still has calories and steps on two different screens to toggle between, and no ability to update colors or simplify the time display.

Shouldn't be that hard to give us some more options with a simplified or even customizable display.

[IMWorks]

These certainly have to be the ugliest and most outdated looking Fitbit clock faces I've ever seen. The 1960s called and they want their style back. It's 2024, after all.

[razvanned]

I agree with previous posts.

Hawaiian Punch, Triangulate, Retro, Statposter, Runliner, Rise Up, Cutout ... really?

Please add some clean and simple clock faces (it was possible for older devices like 2 or 4). 

Maybe more customisation for exiting faces: "Fast Lane" with a normal font for time, "Sans" without stacking and animation, "Big and Bold" without the bubbles, "ripple" without the dots, "progressive" with other colors. 

[VelcroCertified]

Still waiting for this

[ZZblack]

Fitbit is not responsive to customer requests.  There are too many customer requests that are ignored.  I'm moving on to a new Garmin watch.

[CHARGED3]

Please bring back classic clock faces. The choices available on the new charge 6 are awful. If I knew I couldn’t get the classic face I would have chosen another option to purchase

[TheTauNeutrino]

Just a little bit more customizability would go a long way on a lot of these clock faces. Some let you toggle on/off certain stats or change color themes, why don't all of them allow this? And can we get some more options that let you display multiple stats at once while keeping time and date readable, not cut off, or angled oddly, or stacked unusually? Please and thank you!

[TheTauNeutrino]

Forgot to add this in the previous comment, but a face that features the hourly activity in some way would be super awesome as well!

[TiffaneyC]

I am desperate for more options on the watch face and custom colors within the clock faces available. To me all the options seem very juvenile and obnoxious. I would just like something sleek and simple, no bright colors or confusing graphics. I was appalled that you can’t even select black/white as a color choice.

Fitbit, please indicate if there is a plan to add new clock faces.

It would also be good to fix the errors in the current ones, where many cut off the number when it reaches 5 digits, e.g., 10,000 steps or more.

Additionally, add settings to choose colors in those that don't have them, and add more colors in the few clock faces that currently have this option.

[malsup]

The selection of clock faces seems to completely ignore users that want something simple and readable.  How can it be that there isn't at least a few simple, easy to read clock faces available?  Is the average fitbit user 13 years old?  At the time of this writing there are 29 clock faces available on my Charge 6, the vast majority of which seem to be intentionally hard to read.  Numbers overlapping, numbers cut off, number misaligned, numbers that are multi-colored, numbers that use crazy fonts, and even numbers that are blurry (really????).   Could you please just make a few simple faces like "Fast Lane" or "Sans" that use a readable font where the numbers don't overlap?  Is there anyone in charge of User Experience for this device?

[AlBFit80]

YES::: More options for clock faces: it’s hard to believe you even need this idea to be up-voted.  The 3 options available are LAME and I literally might return this because it’s a tribute to how poorly Fitbit has thought this out — seriously??

[DonThaIll]

I just got the Charge 6, and I regret not doing research beforehand on the clock face options. I'm amazed how little functionality the vast majority of the clock faces offer. It seems more effort was put into making them flashy at the cost of usefulness. Yes, we want them to be stylish, but ultimately we want as much data in as little time as possible. I want to instantly know several metrics at a glance. I'd rather the clock face be the ugliest font possible if I could have faster access to my metrics.

I am disappointed in the clock face options of my new charge 6. I would like ones that shows date, time, HR, and steps without going diagonal or having the numbers of the time cut off for dramatic effect. In an easy to read font. There are not enough options with multiple stats always on. My inspire 2 had a better option. 

If you don't want to make them, figure out how to allow third party clock faces.

[Adanac]

Would love to see a few more analog clock options. 

Good design is simple, clean and functional. Too many of these options look like they were designed by someone having a bad trip.
