Start day of the week to be any day of the week

Allow week to start on ANY selected day to ensure that it links to your personal plan which could start on any day of the week.  For example I am in a diet program and the first day of the week in this program is Tuesdays but was not an option as currently only Monday and Sunday are.  

 

Thank you,

I completely agree! Making this change will be extremely user friendly as well.

I would like if there was a 'weekly report' of your stats at the end of each week durina a time set by the user in the app. It should show steps, floors, resting heart rate, calories, and average hourly activity stats.

Want Monday as the start of my week.  Sad that this topic has been on the discussion board for OVER 2 YEARS and there is still not a fix for android app users.

Does anyone know if FITBIT has even considered this change?

It seems like a simple program change to add all days of the week as an option for starting the week.

It would also be helpful to select the hours that define a "day".  People who work nights, could start their day at 1100pm, for example.

I would like to see the Weekly Progress Report match the same weekdays as I have set on my mobile app. I prefer Sunday through Saturday as the 'week'. So I would like to be able to choose between start days, Sunday or Monday.

My weigh in day is Wednesday.

I agree with flipflopgirl1 for the exact same reasons!! PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Let us set the beginning day of the week to any day of the week.

Will this ever happen? I've come back to fitbit after a long hiatus. My food etc week starts Thursday, is there any hope of this being changed? I was all excited to get back on track and this has dampened it a bit.

Please can you make this possible. I'm having to calculate MY week every week which is really laborious.

I too would like my dashboard week and my weekly report week to be the same.  Sometimes I aim to average 5000 steps a day and am frustrated with the different weeks.

I would like the weekly report to be delivered on any day I chose following the stats week regardless of week end. Also I would like the report to be recalculated and re-delivered on demand, in the event I failed to sync in time i.e missing days in week. 

 

Maybe be the system won't send stats if the previous week is not fully syched and rather an email is sent indicating only part of the week data is available and a sync should be performed. This would then trigger the pending stats on completion.

 

It is just programming after all!

One reason I went with FitBit over other pedometers was the syncing with the Weight Watchers app. Many of us doing Weight Watchers have our WW week start on a day other than Sunday or Monday (our points start over on that day, both smart points for food and our fitpoints for activity). Mine for instance starts on Wednesday, and the app tracks my activity goals Wed-Tues. This is very very common for people doing WW. It would be great if I could begin my FitBit week on Wednesdays to match my WW activity app goals. Thank you!

I agree that choosing our own start date should be added - some people work weekends so they may choose to log beginning wednesdays - no matter reason, it would be a welcomed change!

The report should match the week begin day defined on the profile to avoid any confusion. It should be simple and straightforward.

I also would like the weekly report to match the start day in my profile.

I would like to have my weekey report begin with Sunday's steps and end with the following Saturday's steps. I have a FitBit One, use an IOS device, and live in Canada. Please let's get this organized!

My week starts on Sunday so my report should match. What's the point of an option if you can't get your data matched to it?

Hi Fitbit.

 

Just a little note on Weekly report. If you want to provide users with useful weekly weight gain/loss information, it should be measured Sunday to Sunday, not Monday to Sunday. Otherwise you lose one day (Sunday to Monday) of information every week, and it changes the picture completely.

E.g. I have half-year long row of weeks with 0.5-1.5 kg of weekly weight loss, but real loss is about 2 kilos.

is anyone from Fitbit actually looking at these posts?

 

I have not seen one reply from a Fitbit team member regarding this. 

 

Do do you actually have any software engineers that can do simple programming?

 

i think my Charge 2 will be my last ever purchase from Fitbit, I'm sure there are better and more reactive suppliers out there.

Hi there!

 

I think that it would be great if weekly progress reports would start on Sunday too. I am able to pick the start of my week from my settings and that's how I monitor my activity but then my reports are really off.

It would be so nice to have that option so I'm getting a more accurate picture each week.

 

Thanks!

Ditto. Love me my Fitbits but company seems obdurate about ignoring customer requests.

Me, too. I live in Canada in a region where we ALL think the week starts on Sunday, and it's so disappointing to see my weekly emailed reports not reflecting my "week starts on Sunday" choice from Settings.

    I was so disappointed when  the weekly report  said I went down in areas, as the dashboard showed I walked more steps, exercised more.  I wondered why this was and then I noticed the different start days.     As someone mentioned thr android users  cannot change the start day. Fitbit should  look into this.    So for now I will ignore the weekly email so I do not get conflicting info and get discouraged.

This is (another) request to ask that you can customize the Start day of the week for exercise other than just Sunday or Monday? My weigh in day with Weight Watchers is on Thursdays and that is when my exercise resets with them and it would be nice to be able to have both FitBit & WW in sync. It's obvious from all the other User's requesting the same thing, and don't understand why FItBit will not accommodate this customization.
