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.

Agree 100% - I kept thinking there was something missing - the DATE. I used that feature all the time! Hope to see an update soon 🙂

Time, date, steps, and HR at a glance would do the job!

Please add the charge 2 clocks on the charge 3 if possible! Miss seeing the date!

Hi @GordieLachance, thanks for explaining why you would like to have this option. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has a lot of votes. As the more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs. As a piece of advice if you want to see an specific clock face, please re-post your suggestion with one single clock face description to avoid duplicates.

I just have to say thank you to Fitbit for messing up on this one. I forced me to get a Versa which is a far superior experience in every possible over the Charge 3. So many watch faces, especially from Pebble which I absolutely loved. And a much better user experience overall. I’m now happy.

Waterproofing the device is a big thing. Glad FB did this. Even has a
swimming exercise couce. Need ine for rowing, at least indoor.

I, too, find it hard to believe that Fitbit has not included any option that has time, date, HR and steps, and, aesthetically, I don't like any of the Charge 3 options.  Please bring back the Charge 2 options. Thanks.

And waterproof the 2! There are third-party companies that will do that.

I too would be soooooo pleased to have the time, date, h/r and steps on the
Charge 3 together with the Charge 2 clock faces and then I could say I love
the Charge 3

Do the moderators have a time frame for the new faces with the date? I need to know so I can decide whether to keep my Charge 3 or return it within the return time frame!

Yes - please let us know when we can expect the add'l clockface updates - hopefully as good as the Charge 2 - Or myself, as well as many others will be returning their Charge 3.

I would like to suggest adding a clock face with the date.  I used it all the time on my Charge2

I would like to have the date on the clock face. There is no date on Fitbit 3. Fitbit 2 has date

Yes please come on you already have the code for the charge 2 so cant be that difficult!

The Charge 3 definitely needs more choices for Clock Watch Faces. Personally, I want time, date and steps...large enough to read easily. But more options so everyone can choose what works for them.

I am not going to wear my new charge 3 because of no date on the clock face. If there is not a new face I will return next week

Please add the date to the asymmetrical clock. There is space!!

Yes, please add more watch faces. On the Charge 2, I appreciated having the ability to select which two stats were shown in addition to the date. Also, I don’t understand the reasoning behind promoting a screen that’s easier to read in sunlight then making some stats so dim that they’re nearly impossible to read when you’re outside.

Fitbit Charge 3 should include all of the Charge 2 clock faces. Most important, include the face with the time, date, and steps.

I have the Fitbit 2, and was thinking about upgrading to the 3 sometime, but after hearing this, I will definitely wait! 

Being now over 60, I was at least happy that there was one clock face that had the large bold digital time (hour on top, minutes on bottom) with the smaller month and day of month in between. I can actually read that while I'm walking or doing anything without having to put my glasses on! If I want to see anything else, I have to put my glasses on and tap through the screens (steps/miles, heart-rate/stairs, minutes/hour out of 12 that I got 250 steps).  My beef before was that I could not choose larger displays for all those other screens so I don't have to put my glasses on (I wrote an enhancement request eons ago for that, to no avail). I would not mind having individual stats on one screen rather than them all being doubled up.

Now, with the 40% larger screen on the Fitbit 3, you have so much opportunity to actually make an entire set of screens that are large and easy-to-read!  Hearing about this really makes me wonder.  Is there anyone at Fitbit that has any education in ergonomics?  Any why would you release a product that is so obviously lacking (and such a downgrade even from a previous product) regarding ease of use in the visual display of the watch, which is the most important in-your-face aspect of *any* watch?

Clock face without date these days is a big nono - please add this. I'm baffled that it wasn't an option when I got my charge3. I travel between timezones alot, and knowing the correct date is really handy for me.

It's like playing catch-up in the "also ran" division. Competition is hell,
ain't it?
