Removing a Fitbit Studio installed clockface.

[allan175]

I started looking into Ionic development and built/installed a test clockface based on the template code.

However, I now can't find a way to get rid of it from the watch itself, choosing a different one from the list on my phone app doesn't replace it.

Have I missed something obvious?

Worked for me thank you!!!

This worked for me

If you go on the fitbit mobile app, tap on your watch in the top left corner, then click on "developer menu",  you should see the option to delete a watch face.

It is not working for me... Do I need to factory reset?

I have installed a clock face I was build and I cannot install a clock face from the store...

Thanks,

Ral

On Android app there is no Developer menu... The only solution that worked for me was factory reset :). Please Fitbit, you can do more than this... There are more Android phones than iPhones on the market and the Android users want more customizations... Please add that Developer menu on Android asap if this is the only solution to avoid factory reset...

The Android app definitely has a developer section.

On my Android phone the Developer menu takes a few seconds to appear.

There definitely is a developer menu on Android. Open the app, select your Ionic/Versa, then the developer menu should be in the list.

Hi, I had the same problem.  Created a fitbit studio clockface and then couldn't get rid of it.  Until I did the following:  Go to the fitbit app-->Go to account-->Select your device, in my case it is ionic-->Select developer menu-->You will see your sideloaded app that you created-->Select delete app.  It will delete the clockface that you created and then your original clock face will display.

Thanks for you reply. At the moment I posted that issue the Android app did not have that feature... It was added later.

Thank you,

Is it worth doing it?

Have they found a way to do it?

Factory reset reverted the change but this is not acceptable solution. I guess I'll wait until Fitbit developers come up with a decent IDE/debugging/publishing before I start making my own faces/apps.

Open the mobile app, select your Ionic/Versa, then the developer menu, then delete from there.

Totally worked. Thanks!

I was about to agree with the 'flakiness' of this solution (in fact I agree that a lot of stuff about Fitbit and its companion apps is flaky). The I noticed that under the Developer Menu, the Developer Bridge was turned off. Apparently the app can't see sideloaded apps unless the bridge is turned on. So here's what I did ...

1. Open Fitbit app on mobile device

2. Got to Account -> Ionic -> Developer Menu

3. Let the sideloaded apps section finish loading

4. If no sideloaded apps are shown, turn on Developer Bridge and wait for it to connect to Studio

5. Tap the 'Reload' button to reload the sideloaded apps list

6. Tap your watch face app (or whatever studio app you no longer want)

7. Tap 'Delete' - CAUTION! there is no 'Are you sure?' warning

The watch face should now be the one that it was before this odyssey.

thank you so much, I couldn't find anything anywhere, and it worked perfectly, I must just be blind xD

There must also be a connection to the Ionic, otherwise there is no sideload-app shown.

The Info "no connection to Ionic" is only very short to see, there is no permanent info about no connection. You have to look the whole time on Display and check that it not goes off at this time because if then the Info appears it is away until you get the display on again 😉

I ran the program I had created when I also encountered that problem, I have a Windows 10 computer so the app had a Developer Menu. If you click on that, then you will see the Sideloaded Apps bit. After it loads, it will show you the app(s) that you have installed. Click the trashbin button at the bottom, this won't erase it, it just removes it from your watch. Just like you want.

[jpEdwards]

Glad that is helped, how about an up-vote?

Simple, but obvious: Go to Account on the phone app for Fitbit. Scroll down to Customize Display. Uncheck the radio button next to Clock.

Factory Reset is the only thing that worked for me (Versa 3)
