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.

Steeler 6x, I totally agree Charge 3 would of been my 4th Fitbit.  I took it back.  I notice that here in Oz well probably every where they are plugging the Versa Lite with a lot it seems options that the Charge 3 has.  So I’m thinking have they shelved the Charge 3?  If they would of been an Aussie brand our Consumer watchdog I’m sure would of investigated them.  I’m not sure what I will do when my Charge 2 dies, I really like it except for its weight and the fact it is not waterproof.  I read an interesting article that said they were financially in strife awhile ago because they are trying to complete with Apple and other smart watch companies.  I think they did really well and have gotten complacent.  How on earth can the Charge 3 be the best reacher in 2018 really!!!

The Fitbit Charge 3 is my first one. I found I liked the Charge 2 clock face the best of what’s there.

I’d still like seconds on it, though.

I only upgraded because it is water proof since swimming is one of my prime activities.

As a note haven’t had any problems [yet] and all seems good.

My only complaint is the watch face issue. The Charge 2 was much more to my liking.

Hi @bigmacha, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. This feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. Don't forget to add your vote!

The only reason I bought Charge 3 was because it was waterproof. Wish they just would have made a waterproof 2.

Make 'Analog Stat' display two stats on one screen again. MMM-DD is not helpful while exercising. 

Analog 'Stat' for statistics, and 'Date' for the date. Makes sense to me. 

Have you tried tapping your FitBit while jogging? 

[Coffeeaddict]

I would love to have a clock face displaying time, date and steps so big that I can read it without my reading-glasses! Guess there are many semi-old 😉 people using this!

Could also swipe to get more big numbers...

[SunsetRunner]

As someone said all they ne ended to do was add waterproof to the Charge 2.  I just wonder if Charge 3 is in the too hard basket.  Here in Oz a Health Insurance Co. is giving the Charge 3s to ppl who sign up, they will get a big disappointment!!

To the person who reads these posts at Fitbit

There are numerous posts going back at least 6 months asking for an upgrade to the clock faces on a Charge 3 and yet you seem to have done nothing about it?  Personally, I like the analogue watch face with day, date and steps from the Charge 2 options.  As you already have the software script for this why can't you upgrade the Charge 3 clock faces accordingly?  Or are we just wasting our time writing these posts???

I think it's safe to say that with all the input from actual users all screaming the same thing and no response from fitbit this is simply a place to vent and nothing will ever be done to correct all the deficiencies with the Charge 3.

Like many have said all they needed to do was make the charge 2 waterproof and the 3 would have been a home run instead they released a half baked upgrade that eliminated all the things people loved and have turned huge fitbit fans into frustrated consumers that won't purchase another fitbit product.

I've already sold my Charge 3 at a loss and went back to my charge 2 and will probably use it until it dies, then I'll find another option but you can bet it won't be anything by fitbit.  Good luck fitbit, you're going to need it to stay in business with this type of support.

[davidebbo]

Yes, by now I think it's very safe to say that they are not reading any of these comments. Though they appear to read new threads, which is why they moved someone's message into this giant black hole yesterday (see comment from @LuciaFitbit).

I had also tried to reach out on Twitter earlier. They act like they care about feedback, but if you push for answers, they just drop out.

So yeah, it's all in a pretty sad state right now 😞

[Tinus66]

I agree. Totally useless.😱

I will skip the Charge 3 as I am not happy to lose the display I have. CH2 shows daily steps and month name and day of month - great - but I would also like two letters to show day of week. Programmers working 5 days a week don't realize that us retired people lose track of day of week! 

[SalAlb]

That is one of my favorite Clock faces, because it shows me the time and the date.
But I'm missing the weekday.
Instead of showing the seconds, one could set the weekday there.

[VRake]

Finally good to see charge3 new clock faces thank you fitbit . As I suggested plz try for compass application.

[kimvalencia05]

Good Thing you finally listened to your users.

Hopefully next time, at least make a statement if the request would be made or not. So we won't be like an idiot waiting for nothing.

[debgumm]

For the people that chose not to upgrade could u guys explain how they changed the clock faces??
Can u choose up to 4 like charge 2?I want time date floors and steps on mine.plus I can see them clearly too.

I strongly believe that including the digital seconds timer (or remaining countdown time) would be brilliant, and heavily used. I’m extending this feature request to the Inspire bands as well.

[TDoug]

Great.  New clock faces dated 21 March 2019.  I have gone for the one called "Stats Heavy".  It has what I want plus a couple more I am not too worried about.  All good. Thanks.

Thanks to Bed bath and beyond, they took my charge 3 after 4 months and bought an Apple Watch

Thank You

Could someone please post the new clock faces? I've held off upgrading,
mostly because of this issue, and might reconsider now.

This should be good news...a win for Fitbit! Instead, after many months
of complete silence on this topic, they cant even be bothered to take a
second and share good news 😞
