Great product but your clock faces for the charge 5 need serious work guys. Who in your product development team figured it would be a good idea to put one, two or half the features of the watch on the clock face? As a fully digital color display, the following should be a must! Looks like feedback goes back a year at least… Yet no forward progress. Get to work please. Improve!
I would love to see the classic view added to this tracker. I love my Charge 4 , but it's getting old and it seems like it may be getting close to retirement for it. The only issue is, I don't like ANY of the clock faces on the new Charge 5. If it had the same classic view, as started on the Charge 2 that would be awesome!
Hey Fitbit, it's been a while since we heard from any of you on this. There has been a handful of related posts with over a thousand votes between them on the topic of better watchfaces with no response - what will get you all moving forward on this feature request?
Agreed. The faces are terrible and this issue has been up for quite awhile. How hard is it to provide more choices? I'd like some clean options that are easy to read and no pink.
am agree with all above. such a beautiful and expensive band, but cloth face just dont match with the quality. hope fitbit pls take series and be fair to all fitbit charge 5 user. we need fitbit band that can be use as watch too.
The existing clock faces almost all seem lurid, gaudy, and harsh. The clashing colors and schizophrenic layout makes them hard to read and difficult to look at.
I'm not sure I'll be keeping mine, it's that bad. Definitely a downgrade coming from the charge 3.
The charge 5 clock faces seems to be pure designer vomit: all of the designs are ugly, useless and do not convey information in any efficient way. Please Fitbit, pay your designers better so they do their job or hire new ones.
Upvoted, really hoping for some more basic designs. I work in healthcare and heavily rely on having the date and time (WITH SECONDS)... there is only one watch face I don't heavily dislike and really was hoping that there would be new face designs... pls Fitbit!
What's the point of having decent hardware when there are no good options for a clock face? I want time and heart rate, in a clean minimal design. It's not hard. I had a good one on my Charge 4.
There are so few choices and very little variety--they're all noisy and funky. That's not what I want to see every single time I look at my Fitbit. We need more options, and more variety.
I'm considering switching products to a competitor over this as it's truly annoying, and I don't need to be annoyed multiple times a day every day.
I just purchased the Charge 5. Quite simply, I would a face which provides: steps, activity, date/time and battery %. The variety of choices are minimal - what happened Fitbit? Why weren’t more faces developed for the Charge5?
It is inconvenient to keep tapping/swiping on the screen for this information- is there a way to remove the clock face with weird graphics?
Hey it's been about a year almost since I ordered mine and there's very little response in that year. I don't think they'll ever fix it and if you can get any other Charge or even a different type of watch, you should. Mine is a glorified watch that lets me know how badly I slept last night.
So bummed to hear this! I just bought it as an upgrade for myself and my husband. In fact, gave it to him this morning as a Father’s Day gift…very disappointed. The Charge2 battery life wasn’t holding up. I wish I knew about this before.
Just got this as a father's day present to replace my dead Amazfit. Very disappointed that it doesn't have the basic ability to use a non-fitbit watch face. I agree with the other posters that the faces offered lack the information I want to see. Yes, the slashed theme has HR and steps which is nice but the cutoff text is an affront to design sensibility.
Since this issue has been open since September it doesn't seem to be a high priority and we can safely assume no one official cares. I don't really want to return this based on this one stupid issue but this is a feature that you'd expect this device to have.
I just bought two Charge 5’s to upgrade since battery lives barely held on Charge 2’s (wish we could just change out out batteries on devices we like) This Charge 5 is SO cheaply made, barely has any watch faces to choose from. What is going on Fitbit?
I just bought 2 Charge 5’s. VERY disappointed ☹️…Barely any clock faces to choose from - the ones they have are not really functional (I am looking for: time/date, battery %, steps, activity). Also, super ugly…what the heck!
