More clock/watch faces for the Charge 3!

[MrPuma]

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

There are only 5 clock/watch faces:

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.

[Blucola]

I agree with everyone else, considering their disappointment in clockface choices. I need one with date, time, heartbeat and steps and seconds. Please add the charge 2 clockfaces. That’s an easy fix that would satisfy many of your users. Or should I say, customers‽ 

[Blucola]

I should also add that after the update, the mod clock changed to both choices having steps, date, time and not one with steps, time, heartbeat. Very annoying. 

[Taroqi]

I just get the charge 3, but I would love to have the classic charge 2 clock face that content full digit clock, date, total steps, heart rate.

How hard is it to offer the same clock face options the  Charge 2 has? Fitbit already has the code written. Just copy and paste. 

Also, right now you only have one option with a colon between the hour and minutes. The colon makes it much easier to read.

Also there are no options where the steps are in the main screen where I do not have to strain to see them. Steps are my main goal with Fitbit and I do want to be able to see them easily. 

The Charge 2 had all the options needed for faces. Just add them to the Charge 3 already.

Can other people update to 1.49.45?  Mine doesn't show the update and I "chatted" and they say it's not available.

[DRG2016]

Check your Charge 3 with the app

thats the latest version 1.49.45

[MargyPilot]

Thanks DRG2016, I did, then I checked the website, then I contacted them and was told it would "show up when available" 

[spamment]

MargyPilot I shouldn't worry about if I were you. I updated mine last night and today the screen has frozen (never froze before the update)! I'm unable to restart it as I am out and about without my charger!

[MargyPilot]

Turns out (on my second try to chat) they roll out the updates to different users at different times.    Very odd, but I guess it slows the traffic with problems.

Returned Charge 3 to store. They did not seem surprised.

What a disappointing prduct update. Happier days ahead with another
product.

Is this a joke? My friend has a Charge 2 which displays the date/time/steps/heart rate.. meanwhile my Charge 3 can only display 3 of those 4 options.

This needs to be fixed ASAP or I'll be returning this thing

[FrankED]

return it as I did, I will only repurchase the 3 after that happens. Fitbit Charge 3 was not ready for release, they wanted the holiday purchases.

Hello. I just got a Charge 3 today. The update just got a little better but I wanted a “Day” of a week within a date. Every Clock Faces should have a “Day” of a week, Dates and time. 

Where is the “Day of the Week”? I always get off track from the day of week and don’t remember which day I’m on. Fix it up with the clock faces from Charge 2 to upgrade the clock faces on Charge 3. Please, please and please! Thanks

[sunshinyday69]

More new clock faces were added--where do they come up with these??  So many suggestions have been made, and the new faces have nothing that was asked for....in fact, they are not good at all, and a couple of them are very hard to read.  I just don't understand...if they are developing new faces, why wouldn't they take the suggestions??  Sigh.....

[Pradeep1960]

Can u imagine my disappointment, I waited over 8 months for C3 since my C2 died in January and I wouldn’t buy anything else. So so disappointed. They r just using the success of earlier products. It’s a shame

Thank You

With the new update there still doesn't appear to be a watch face that displays the DATE, TIME, HEART RATE, and STEPS like the Charge 2 did... i don't want to have to click on the watch to cycle through stuff..

[Turbo46]

Amazing! There are now 13 clock faces but still not one that most people want!

"Charge 2 Retro" is close but still no Heart Rate.

I hope that is not the extent of the "new clock faces coming soon"?

[SunsetRunner]

@Turbo46 Amazing indeed. It feel like that Fitbit is trolling us here.

This said, I am starting to wonder (no evidence here) that their is an actual hardware limitation to not be able to show too many things at once. Maybe this will impact the battery life of the Charge 3... I do not explain otherwise the deathening silence of Fitbit beside some kind of limitation on the device. 

[MrHappy]

It's as though there is this threshold of three pieces of information on screen at any given time.  Obviously, there is always time displayed, but there is always only two of either date, steps, or heart rate displayed simultaneously.  It makes you wonder if there is some kind of hardware limitation memory- or processor-wise, which would be surprising.  There is certainly the resolution and screen space available.

[Pomer13107]

I does make sense they are limited by software to display only 3 parameters at once. If not why not simply duplicate Charge 2 faces (which everyone seems happy with)? If they have a hard limit of only 3 pieces of data, that’s a Huge software fail. Very sad to waste a decent piece of hardware on really crappy programming. Keeping my C2 until faces are fixed right (or buy something else).

True enough there are indeed now 13 basic choices but if you click on some of them you will find variations so some exploration is required.

 For example " Charge 2 retro" has two options..... one with time, date and steps and one with time date and HR which is the one that makes me cheer so everyone needs just poke around with each one and you may find the one that suits you best

EDIT..... actually charge 2 retro has more options than just 2 depending on which one you tap. I have time, date and HR showing now which is exactly what I asked for. Give it another tap and you can have time, date and steps..... or time date and  calories...etc etc

[SunsetRunner]

@DRG2016 I have been pocking around and there are no replacement for Time, Date, step and HR.

Really desapoonted buy my purchase. The only reason that I keep on owning a fitbit is the sleep tracker. I will soon forgo that brand and finally switch to Apple Watch...
