More clock/watch faces for the Charge 3!

So, the Charge 3 is out and there is a huge let down:

There are only 5 clock/watch faces:charge 3 clock.png

 

 

Come on Fitbit...at least include all the Charge 2 watch faces too. We all loved the Charge 2 watch face with the time, date and the highlighted feature (steps/heart rate etc.)

 

Whats missing:

- Faces with the actual DATE and DAY

- Faces with a DIGITAL SECONDS TIMER

 

Or to say it again, just include the Charge 2 watch faces. Thanks in advance.

I have had a Charge 1, Charge  2 HR and looking to update to charge 3 because it's waterproof. However I have to Parrot everyone else, the charge 2 hr watch faces are much better. I will hold off purchasing until this is better. I like the default charge 2, I have time,date steps and heart rate all n one screen easy to read and utilitarian.

My Question for the moderators, how many bad comments/likes do we need to get some attention.

 

To reiterate my pervious comment, you cant see the steps or heartrate if you are in the sun and near impossible if you are running.

 

Never had an issue with the Charge2

What a disappointment with the clock face choices. No day and date. Time on way to short. I think I’ll teturn

This is ridiculous, now we have 8 interfaces, but still don't have what we need. These interfaces are half made !!!
ex: we have date (month #day), analog clock and heart beat, but we don't have the same with digital clock !!!!! What is wrong here? really !?!?

I'm not interested in steps, but interested in heart rate and weather, but no, we can choose only or analog which includes date clock and heart beat, OR steps, digital clock and date. WHY not digital clock with the same settings ?!!?

In many pictures on the web shops we can see a version that has digital clock, date and heart rate (attached)

Simple clock interface example

Ideal would be to have on like

- date: [month #day *week day*]

- clock digital or analog (both versions)

- heart rate

- weather

 

It is ridiculous to have payed that much for the watch and have so little choice how to display the info.

Please advise

Why do the current clock faces not change with the main goal... How did this feature from the charge 2 not make it to the charge 3? Embarrassing.

Any watch face highlighting the Main Goal the user sets would be nice. Instead of them being static. They should be configurable or use the Main Goal that was set.

Plz add colorful cloks.

We paid around 150 dollars. 

As we are getting color mobile for just 30 dollars in India.

At this price it is heighly possible to provide colorful fitbit devices.

I like the Charge 2 clock face that has the time, date, and the steps.  Please make this available for the Charge 3.

Time, Date and Steps are available already: more precise: Steps on top, digital clock in the middle, and date on the bottom...
If you cannot see it, please update.

Charge 2 offered 4 very useful numbers at a glance:

 

- Time

- Date

- Steps

- Heartrate

 

I'm disappointed that not only is that information no longer available but that I can't add it myself via the SDK, either.

 

Good information on the watch face is far more important than a touch screen or notifications.

Any thoughts about the Versa? Fitbit now has it on sale for the price of a C3. Perhaps the logic is to keep the people (like me) who like the FB ecosystem, but hate to take a step down from the C2 clock faces to the C3 clock faces.

 

The Versa is nearly as big and clunky as an Apple watch, bad for the smaller wrists (like mine). It weighs 1.34 ounces (compared to barely over an ounce for the C3). The C2 weighs 1.24

 

Like the C3, it doesn't have GPS (electronic dog-leash), which is a big plus for me. They may be the only 2 of the newer Fitbits to boast no GPS.

 

It's waterproof.

 

It has the HRV-biofeedback Relax function, which I hope someday Fitbit will also track on the app. If they did so, they would be serious competition to Heartmath.

 

The Versa has music, a color screen, and similar stuff that I personally would never give money for, but on sale they don't actually cost more.

 

Some reviews complain about the HR monitor. That is concerning. I want to know my HR when exercising, and it can't possibly do HRV-biofeedback well with problems with the HR monitor.

 

Any thoughts about the Versa as a possible replacement for an aging C2?

Best thing I did was buy the Ionic for $200 during black friday sales. Don't worry about GPS, you can disable it. You only have to charge it once a week. You may be happy with the similar Versa if you prefer that design better. The Charge 3 is an absolute disappointment, and I suggest anyone considering it to look at a different product (or return it if you recently bought it).

Have to say even though the lack of clock faces is a major mistake by them after having my charge 3 since launch day I have been really impressed it is light and comfortable , I hardly know it is on and performs in every other area.

 

I am surprised they have taken this long to fix the face issues though.

Can we have a clock face the same as the Charge 2 had with the time in large numerals (easy to read) with the date underneath.

My C2 stop charging in Jan so I thought I would wait for the new C3 since it was waterproof and ,so it advertised, a better HR monitor. Didn’t even think about clock faces bc didn’t think we would “DOWNGRADE” from what’s already available. Well dummy me. I was such an advocate of C2 that I recruited over 12 members of my family (have a big family 😂)
Fitbit, guess what my review to all those eagerly waiting members was? Gave them the link to this page and let them decide. Not even a single one of them have bought any Fitbit for Xmas.

Hi @59Jeff, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is under consideration.

I also vote for adding the Charge 2 faces! A customized option would be great too! Please give the option of the colon in the time as well. I turned on my new Charge 3 and thought the 100 was my steps for the day. Turns out it was the time.

There's now an optional clock face I want; however, it won't let me download it.  WHY?

12/13/18: I just got the Charge 3 yesterday and was very disappointed in the clock faces available ( currently 8), None of which meets My needs. I used the Charge 2 clock face double stat. It had a readable face that had time, date, steps and heart rate. This should be easily remedied by your fitbit team! Please make this happen. I was so excited and this is such a let down.

There needs to be more watch faces with heart rate and the date!!!

Is there a place where people who do not own a C3 (and won't buy them before the C2 clock faces are available) can see the currently available C3 clock faces?
