New Fitbit Watch - Simple Watch

Why, why, why Fitbit. You have a iconic watch that is full of features that you think we should have or think we want. (You sound like Microsoft). I am guessing that over half of your customers would prefer a very simple but functional watch! I think the Surge was a great watch except for a couple of things: One it needed a replaceable band, and two it need a seconds on the watch face. The rest of the watch was perfect. GPS worked good, the HR worked good and the display stay lit all the time and the battery lasted for days. Now with these new watches you have to move your wrist, hit a button or jump or and down or stand on one foot to see the time. You get the point. Why? Just get rid of all the cute battery hogging apps, cute watch faces etc. Just have a very basic face (time, seconds date) and have it on all the time. If we want to use the GPS we go to exercise and use it, we can swipe to steps, HR etc. but if you aren't in exercise mode then just a simple watch that stays on all the time. Please make a simple watch like the surge, with replaceable bands, basic clock display that stays on all the time and the battery will last for day without charging. Yes, if you use the GPS then we have to charge the battery more often but you don't use GPS everyday but you do the clock. Don;'t add more features, cute apps, games etc. Keep it Simple!! That is what we want and you would have a lot less problems.

Hi @KeepItSimpleFit. Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestions Board. The request you are asking already exists in different Fitbit products. Please feel free to check the Fitbit Product Page to learn more. There are devices with long battery power, interchangeable bands, and different clock faces.

 

Have a great day! Smiley Very Happy
