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.

Sorry, I am a new user to this forum, I am not sure how to vote for a specific clock face with four items such as Date, Time, HR and Steps. 

I voted for the item from @MrPuma which currently is the top voted requested item for Charge 3 which currently has 2,436 votes.

The best way to 'vote' in my opinion is to write a negative review on
Amazon, and this is something they do care about (and affects their sales).
It's very clear that they are ignoring what is being written here.

Agree with @davidebbo the most effective review is to vote and write a negative review on Amazon because it is public and the whole world can see it. Sadly this is a pattern often repeated in many companies. I already returned my charge 3 and will be looking at competitors like Apple Watch, that's another way to make your vote count.

The problem with writing a review at Amazon - if you didn't buy your Charge 3 on Amazon, it will not be a verified buyer and not much credit will be given to the review by most readers. 

I admit that several people now, upon hearing me tell them of the various issues I'm having with my Charge 3, have asked me why I don't just get an Apple Watch. I have over 28,000,000 (yes, 28 million) steps invested with fitbit - all with the FitBit ONE which was a perfect product until it stopped working earlier this month. I was excited about the waterproof swim length tracking feature of the Charge 3 after initially getting over not having a clip on tracker anymore. Today when the Charge 3 said I swam 525 yards farther than usual in just 2 more minutes, I realized that feature is working worse than I thought. I did the exact same swim workout at the same speed I always do. Two minutes longer because I swam slightly longer to let my waterproof walkman finish the song that was playing. So 100 yards more would be the most extra that I did and I don't swim that fast. I swim 100 yards in about 3 minutes give or take a few seconds.

I have a response that I use on every Facebook page or any page wanting comments for Fitbit.


Just a suggestion but before purchasing a Charge 3 please go to the Fitbit Community Forum and get some good information regarding the software and support issues! I will now add " be sure and vote for any change you request."

I think it was very careless / negligent of Fitbit to release a product which was obviously not properly field-tested. Its like a beta version and they were charging full price, until they sent out discount vouchers.  But who would go and spend over £100 on what appears to be a defective product.  I have over 19 million steps "invested" with Fitbit and will stay with my Charge 2 until properly tested product is available, even though the battery is not lasting for as long as it should.

[SunsetRunner]

I posted on here a while ago (December) that the lack of options bothered me and that the Charge 2 had better options.  I loved my charge 2 and the software at the time.  End of December, I started looking at the Apple watch at decided to go with that since there wasn’t any response from Fitbit on what their plans were.  Best decision ever in my opinion.  The only thing Fitbit has going for it in my opinion is the battery life but that is easily negated with some easy implemented routines.  But anyhow, I am gonna be unsubscribing from this forum now as I have found a new path for my exercise/calorie tracking which also does so much more now.  It’s not a solution that fits everyone but its one that fits me and one that fits me now.  Cheers all and good luck!  I do hope fitbit wakes up but its been too long so far.

[SunsetRunner]

Wow... just reviewed the comments before mine trailing back several weeks.  Whoa.  If I was a consumer, red flags would be popping up everywhere.  No responses or engagment from the company.  Yikes..  Good luck everyone.  I’d be making this a hard pass myself but as they say YMMV. Or in this case No MMV as in it’s being effectively ignored.

I voted too!  Come on Fitbit. My husband lost his charge 2, now he's thinking about going with another company because of the limited faces on the charge 3.

[AndyGsys]

If you bought it on Amazon, the best way to vote is to write an Amazon review.

[CrystalClearly]

@AndyGsysYou can write an Amazon review no matter where you bought it. The review just won't say "verified purchase."

It is a service to folks to do a review. This forum has kept me from mis-investing in Charge 3. It would have been my 4th Fitbit, but I need a readable clock face with time, date, steps, and HR, so C3 is out.

My C2 is hanging in, but the battery life is getting worse and worse. I'm very interested in what people have purchased, since FB has clearly signaled that they are not interested in making the C3 a useful fitness/lifestyle tool.

[bigmacha]

This is my 3rd Fitbit. The face that I used on #2 was one that showed time, miles and heartbeat. I would love to have that option on my 3.

[SunsetRunner]

I've had my Fitbit (Charge 3) for a week and still haven't gelled with the clock faces. I'd prefer analog to digital but the face is way too small/feint.

The heavy font style of the best digital option isn't nice to look at either. There's no separator colon and the hour/minute shading doesn't have enough contrast. I'm being fussy but I bought it to use as a watch as much as a fitness tracker. I don't want to look at a badly formatted watch every day.

I realise this is down to taste, so suggest you make this more configurable so people can set their preference via the app. Given the large volume of posts on the matter, it's probably the best solution.

Thanks

Will

Yes please
Give us a face like our phones etc - customizable -  a blank slate with 3 or 4 zones that we can drag and drop what we want or need onto the screen
and be able to remove icons or items that we don't need / won't use ...It will be near impossible to create all of the different faces etc that everyone wants
So just allow us to individualize our trackersThanks

I would like to see the interlaced or 3D clock with steps,time,date some color options would be cool as well 

[Aoisakura]

I need the day. Just the date is no good. Is it so hard to have something like Feb 28 (We). (or, since my display is Japanese, 2月28日水)

[SunsetRunner]

I agree that having a wider selection of watch faces would be a great advantage. With the current faces I cannot get the date, time and my heartbeat with a digital clock, only the analog. To me, that is a big design oversight.

I just upgraded from charge 2 to charge 3. I used to make my watch face has my main target which is Calories per day. In charge 3 I cannot put the calories count as the main target on my home watch face. Please, bring it back or at least bring Charge 2 watch faces back.
