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.

-Definitely need more options - Even my charge HR and Alta included a date option! 

 

-Also would like the guided breathing session to show up on the app.

 

- when I hit my 250 hourly step goal it didn’t buzz or anything to let me Know I had hit it. The Alta buzzed when you made it

 

- I see the woman’s health thing on the watch that says 2 days till.. will it show a percentage during the ovulation timeframe (or just in the app?)

I totally agree. The numbers are way too small to view easily. At least include the Charge 2 clock faces as an option soon!

Wish I had known about the problems before I ordered it. Wanted to upgrade from a blaze. All of the pre release reviews were good. Now that its actually being used the reviews aren't as good. Hope it's as good as it's supposed to be soon.

Yeah seems like a huge oversight here - or maybe the powers that be didn't realize how much that simple feature was actually used.  Either way I feel like it would be a quick fix via a software update (hopefully in the near future) I would even be willing to pay via a micro transaction for a date!  Though I think I and (we by extension) have paid a lot already 🙂

 

Overall - I'm really digging the new HR3.

Provide a clock Face for Charge 3 That display miles instead of steps . I liked this feature on my Charge 2 and miss it!

I agree, very disappointed with the choice of faces, and really need a date.

The limited clock faces were the biggest disappointment when I set up my Charge 3 just now! An incredible misstep from Fitbit. This needs to be patched ASAP - I will probably go back to my Charge 2 and possibly return the 3 until the faces are improved.

Please add a few options with a date! Many of us use it regularly during our work days.

just another voice to add to the enormous response that you've had on this..

 

simply translating the Charge 2 face options onto the higher res Charge 3 screen - that's gotta be pretty cheap and painless?

If Fitbit add the Charge2 faces in the next few weeks count me in for the Charge3, otherwise I’m  off. Sorry Fitbit, but I need the time and date. I need a new watch and will have to look elsewhere.

Quite the omission. I use my fitbit for two things. Step tracking and being able to quickly check the date and time. It sounds ridiculous, but the date and time is 50% of this things use to me. 

 

Please add more clock face options with date and time!

 

Thank you!

 

PS - I preordered the Charge 3 and it's in my hands. I do like it quite a bit more than the Charge 2 but...this is a deal breaker and i may wear my Charge 2 until this can be fixed. which is a big bummer.

Would love to have the full selection of Fitbit 2 Screens... especially this one high lighted in pink... Not only that... while I understand the dark gray text looks nice and is easily readable inside... once there's any appreciable amount of light outside I can't read it. Please offer a high contrast, non grayscale or B&W only option on the clock faces and other screens of the fitbit.

I am disappointed that there is no date on charge3.  Is there a chance this might be added?

Please add the Charge 2 Double Stat clock face with the date! I look at the date all the time on my Fitbit, just bought the Charge 3 today ... dear Fitbit, you've got 30 days or I'm returning it.

Agreed. And why is the step count so hard to read! None of the (only FIVE) watch faces have the stepcounter emphasized... a fitness tracker...where you can't easily see the steps!!!???

Haven't received my charge 3 yet. Looking forward to it. I currently wear a blaze as a watch and tracker. I do use the time and date mainly at work I have to record that as part of my routine.  If I can't look at my wrist I'll have to pull my phone out and it's just an unnecessary hassle

Please add a watch face with a date. I don’t know who signed off one he stupid idea not to have one after you had it on the charge 2.

I'd like to add my vote for an addition of the date to the Charge 3 clock face. I found that very useful in the Charge 2. Otherwise, thanks for a great product!

Hey Fitbit,   I think it’s pretty obvious now that the software is just as important as the actual product.  The Charge 3 is a great update, but you might want to get moving quickly putting out some much nicer home screens with the full date or your product is NOT going to not sell very well.

I agree the new faces are very lacking. I love the new charge 3 but i feel shortchanged that they didnt include the old watch faces. It needs one that shows the date.

Mines packed back up ready to return...Not ready for prime time yet... Embarrassing, nice effort fitbit

I'm sure this could be done easily and rather quickly with a software update.  Fitbit, why would you remove the clock face with date?! Put one as an option, with the HR 3 having a 40% larger screen than the HR 2 some better designs could be made available.
