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.

Hi,

 

this is what we need in one single display:

 

Time

Date

Steps (Numbers, no circle symbol)

Heart rate

he,

 

beside the date im missing:

an easy way to select an activity like stairs or walking (gps)
and removing the activities I'm not using.

 

Kind Regards

Cancelled my order. Can't justify paying premium price for lack of basic function

indeed ridiculous that no clock face with seconds and date is available.

my question to fitbit, when will you add such a clock face.

i got my charge 3 yesterday, but i am considering returning it because of the lack of a proper clock face.

It’s packed up and ready to go. Going back to my old cracked Charge 2 that actually has the right info on the screen

Yes, please do an update with a clock face with the date.  That is a key feature for a watch for me.  Disappointing just bought mine 😢

Charge 3 needs more clock faces which include the date.

Just got my new Charge 3 and was very excited! However.... No Date on clock face!!!! Very disappointed! It was on the charge 2 and it was something that I used all the time. Please update and include a date as a choice. I loved the charge 2 faces... at least give us the option to use one of those.

Adding another voice to the crowd that the choice of clock faces is appalling. Only 1 clock face  that puts a colon between the hours and minutes... as is the standard way of showing time digitally. None of the clock faces show calories - I've set calories as my "main goal" but that doesn't seem to do anything, its still nearly the bottom of the swipe list and seems to be no way to change that and no way to get it "at a glance". On the charge 2, the clock face uses your main goal instead of defaulting to steps. None of the clock faces show the date. For such a simple feature it seems like we've taken a major step back - and for no good reason that I can see

I've just contacted Fitbit on messenger and this is their reply:

Thanks for reaching out, Susan. We will be releasing more clock face
options soon, including options that display the date. Let us know if you
have any other questions.

So fingers crossed it will happen soon!

Surprising (inexplicable?) that Fitbit didn't realize that Charge 3 users would want a date display.   Disappointing that more watch faces are not available.

This is what they told me when I queried the watch faces with no date.

Different type of reason for me needing time/date/day.

My husband is disabled & I care for him 24/7 our days merge into each other & i need to remember if it is Thursday yet etc what date it is

Had all charge hr's & loved them all. Love the feel of new one but really need the update fast.

I just got my charge 3 yesterday and love how light and comfortable it is. 

But agree, the faces need to have a date option. Might be a deal breaker for me if they don’t.

I agree! with my charge 2 I could choose to see the date and how many calories burned and my heart rate with a flick of my wrist, i do not care to see how many steps i have.

+1 on the date... very much missing it

Yes pls.

Just received my Charge 3 today and I'm very disappointed - there is not even ONE watch face with the actual date.

That sucks, since I'm watching this tracker primarily as a watch...

Any moderators care to confirm this? If no confirmation or updated status on this thread, I'll be sending mine back before the return period expires (and encourage others who are dissatisfied to do so as well).

Fitbit Update 10/10/2018: We will be releasing more clock face options soon, including options that display the date. Please stay tuned.

Please be aware that the font you are using for the smallest dimmes elements on your current clock faces, is just to small to be viewed in comfort by most people over their mid 40’s. Charge 2 has not this problem. Take this advice from a certified eye doctor.

At minimum:

ability to have a clockface with date

ability to have a normal looking digital clock

ability to make heart rate optional on the main display

 

at best:

ability to add a condensed weather forecast

ability to have a clockface with seconds

ability to control modularly which apps/features get enabled or disabled on the display with a mutually independent clockface configuration.

Thank you for listening to your users! So I will probably keep my new Fitbit 3.
