My watch is set for the 12-hour format (which works as expected) but even though the watch displays the time in the 12-hour format the "always on" clock displays the same time in the 24-hour format. I can't figure out how to change the "always on" clock display to the 12-hour format. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi @Sense2User this setting, a few phone app versions ago, was moved off of the web and into the phone.
The setting is associated with your fitbit account, not the watch.
- Open the fitbit app on the phone.
- Go to account
- Tap on App Settings
- Tap on Clock Display Time.

Hi @Vickid425 - you can't have the watch default Always On clock face in 12hr in the current firmware version.
You can choose another clock face with its own Always On face though.
