How to change Temperature - for Weather, Centigrade - Fahrenheit, Sense

[Guy_]

If you set the temperature in the Fitbit App [profile photo => App settings => Units => temperature] and you are still not getting the degrees in Fahrenheit or Centigrade as you have defined it, it is because the Weather app has its own settings.

To fix the temperature degrees for Weather:

 In the Fitbit App click

• Profile photo
• Device photo
• Gallery (or Apps)
• Scroll to Weather
• Settings
• Temperature unit
• Set to desired value

Then sync the watch.

For weather showing directly on the clock face there may or may not be a clock face setting to change.

If it is still a problem,

• remove cities in the weather list of cities setting
• and use current location
• Ensure weather permissions are correct 
• and sync again.

It drives a user crazy to wake up one morning  and see temp in C and then spend 20 minutes looking for the app setting to change to F.  That is exactly the start to my morning until I read this post.  THANK YOU Guy!  While a long time Fitbit fan and user I do wish the interface would be more intuitive.  I mistakenly was in APP SETTINGS UNITS...and until reading your post would not have found the GALLERY then WEATHER SETTINGS.

Thanks again!  Working perfectly in displaying F!

Perfect!  Thanks so much. Not sure why it decided to switch, but now I've got it back thanks to you!!

[Lncsyst]

SERIOUSLY--- If I had not found this no way could I have figured out the F/C setting---- they need better manual input - Thank goodenss for users and btw love the break down detail in how to find it!!!!! thank you!!!!!

I am not following...what OS are you using Guy?  I am on Android and I do not see how to get to profile photo then eventually weather.

[Guy_]

Hi @Frank0163  - in the phone Fitbit app your profile photo is top left of the word Fitbit on the first screen. On the next screen your device photo is on the left a bit lower down.

Hello Guy   

happy new year...

I am having the same issue and thanks for the help.   I follow your directions and when I get to selecting "device photo" the next screen DOES NOT have 'gallery"

thank you

[Guy_]

Hi @PatPasquale  - you may still have an older version of the Fitbit App, in which case click on Apps instead of Gallery after clicking on device photo.

[PatPasquale]

thanks for the help. I found the app and set it to F but it still shows in C.  no worries...thanks

Yayyy finally got it.. .thanks for your help.. eventually I was able to get Fitbit to update and gallery was there.. there were 2 weather apps I reset both and played with it and now shows F on the watch!!!  thanks again

[BobInTheOzarks]

Thanks much;   after much trial & error the last couple of days, with your help, I was able to work through the 5 steps out outlined and got it to work.

You are awesome.  I spent an hour with two representatives with no luck!  This helped me tremendously!  Thank you.

[RodrigoMFitbit]

Hello everybody! I am glad to read that this has helped many users. The detailed explanation has made it easier. Let´s thanks @Guy_ once again. 

Have a nice day!

I must also have an older version.  And after clicking Apps, I get a list of every app available, whether it is installed or not.  The categories are Featured, Staff Picks, Health & Fitness, etc, with no indication of what is or is not installed.  After some testing, I found Weather under the By FitBit category and then View All.  Only then is there any indication of which apps are already installed.  It's a checkmark in a column with no header!  It seems so strange to not list installed apps anywhere.

[Guy_]

Hi @Walt-White  - you need to be in the Fitbit App on your phone then follow the instructions.

[Walt-White]

Hi Guy_ - I am in the phone app.  So the instructions work, there's just a missing step:  Expand the "By FitBit" category and select the Weather app. 

I use the desktop app as little as possible.  IMHO, faint gray text on a bright white background is a really annoying choice for app design.

[RodrigoMFitbit]

@Guy_ Thanks for your help. @Walt-White Welcome to the forums. I appreciate your feedback. The instructions outlined by @Guy_ work for me. After you tap on your device's picture you go into the settings. Then tap on "Gallery". When you do this, at the top three categories are shown. 

• Device's name
• Clock faces
• Apps

Default selection is your device. Hence the installed clock face will be shown. Scroll down to be able to see the list of installed apps on your device. Below the saved clock faces says "my apps". There you should be able to find weather without looking for it in the app gallery. 

Hope this helps! Have a nice day.

[Walt-White]

Thanks!  I just wasn't patient enough.  When I tapped on the Sense category, I just got a blank screen for well over a minute so I abandoned and figured it was something goofy about the app.  My phone literally timed out and went to the sleep screen.  I just need to slow down and wait.
