Remove the zero from in front of PM times on all clock faces

[OCaptain]

For some reason, some Charge 3 clock faces (eg. HR Stat) show a "0" in front of the time during PM times, but not others (like Double Stat). Showing a zero during the afternoon or evening is just bizarre - it's only standard to do that for military time in the morning. There's no reason for it. Just remove the zero!

Hey @OCaptain! Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

I TOTALLY AGREE, looks very tacky.  Why must the clock faces look so childish or cheap.  Please make better clock face options, and please remove that pointless ZERO!   

Must haves:  

Day of the week  (YES USEFUL)  

Date  (how could you forget this basic need???) 

Some ideas I came up with below.

Would love to have the 24hr clock option available on the charge 3, it was on the 2, should be on the 3.

@koko-mo

Are you wanting a way to toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour displays on the Charge 3 device itself? Or are you simply looking for any method to get a Charge 3 to have a 24-hour display?

If you want the latter, you can switch between a 12-hour and 24-hour display in the Advanced Settings section of your profile on Fitbit.com.

Thank you so much! I just logged in to my online profile and was able to change my charge 3 face to 24hr again. Wish they'd have that option via the app, but I'm super grateful you steered me to the online profile. 

[HedgieTwiggles]

@koko-mo Great! I'm glad that helped you out. I agree; it'd be nice to have it in the app. But, hey, at least that option is available! 🙂

Ditto original comment - leading 0 is unnecessary clutter on the clock face.  Get rid of it!

[enteecee]

I like the leading zero - it’s informative and in many designs  keeps the composition balanced.

I liked many of Trebor115’s designs though.  This suggestion is yet another good example of why we need more faces, and the speed with which they came up with so many good ones should make FitBit developers’ faces red.

 I totally agree, the leading zero on the digital clock face adds no value. I have never seen a digital clock other than the Fitbit 3 that has a leading zero

I have never seen a digital clock other than the Fitbit 3 that has a leading zero. Please get rid of it on the Charge 2 Retro clock face. The Charge 2 did not have the leading zero. Why does the Charge 3??? Fix it please!

In most of the 12 hour watch faces, the Charge 3 puts a 0 in front of any time that has a single digit for the hour.  The Charge 2 does not do this.  It can confuse people thinking it is 24 hr time.

[LizzyFitbit]

Hi @Rosiejenks. Thanks for taking the time to explain why you would like to see the time in 12 hour format without the 0 in front. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. While this isn't currently planned at this moment, we have left voting open so we can keep tracking this request overtime.

The leading zero makes it harder to read the time.

I was going to purchase a Charge 4 for my family members, but they're design people and would be driven insane by the nonsensical leading zero. Leading zeros are only used for military times. Prepending them to PM times is just terrible design. I've been a fitbit customer for 5+ years and debating switching cause of the lack of attention to detail.
