Agree. I've had the same problem ever since I updated my Inspire HR in early September. My clock screen shows me the date and the time and I can simply hold down the button to see my battery level. This new screen with the battery level, time and date is just annoying and unnecessary. Please provide a fix as soon as possible. Thanks!
Thank you OP! This has been bugging me enough for me to register on the forums to post about it. (Not before messaging Fitbit support on twitter first...)
Not sure who at Fitbit came up with this additional screen on the Inspire model but yes it’s totally redundant and also poor UX. The reasons? I already know the time (I can only get to this extra screen when I swipe from the clock face); the date is also on the home watch face so I don’t need that repeated to me again; and the battery metric isn’t actually all that helpful because it doesn’t show any kind of level in the icon (the battery icon is static and won’t change to reflect the battery percentage, so even if you’re are 5% the icon still
shows as ‘full’).
This unnecessary screen also means I have more swipes to get to the items I care more about, like hourly activity....(8 swipes down to get to that right now).
Some people may find this extra screen useful, and for them I guess this is great, but It’d be really good if we could customise and reorder the Inspire menu items to show things that are important to owners higher up, and hide things that aren’t important (like this screen is to me). I saw a thread on here which said you weren’t considering customisation or reordering but seriously, some way of editing the order of screens that are on the Inspire series would make it infinitely better for all owners because every person has different priorities.
Agree with OP. I just updated this morning and this new "feature" has already annoyed me enough that I registered here to make my first vote / comment. This extra screen is completely redundant. Like previous commenters have pointed out, to get to this screen you literally have to swipe through the clock screen, which already shows the date and time.
In looking to see if this complaint had already been posted, I saw that Fitbit has rejected a very high-voted suggestion of being able to reorder screens on your fitbit, which is very disappointing. Please at least remove this stupid redundant screen.
I just received the update yesterday, and I am angry!
I had hoped that the update would provide the ability to customize which items I see first, or at all. Instead, it adds an extra screen, so now I have to swipe 8 times instead of seven to see where I am in the current hour's 250s. I'm not sure if it was the update's fault, but it also reset my 250s so that only the last six registered, so instead of recording all 14 hours (which my watch still showed I had achieved), my app on my phone says I only achieved the last six, and reduced my total steps to include only those I walked after the update.
