Left hander button swap

[Pobster]

Being left handed I find it would be easier if the button could be on the right hand side of the watch. Surely the display could be flipped in a setting and simply swap the straps around. Please can you do this Fitbit.

That hasn't happened on any other models; doubt it will on Sense.  But it's good for you to learn a new skill with other hand.

As a fellow lefty, I think this option is long overdue! It doesn't hurt to keep asking. I've found that the Sense is the worst one yet with having the button inadvertently triggered. Feel free to add your vote to my Feature Suggestion.

Edited: Fixed link - Thanks, @Julia_G!

Can't be that hard to implement for a company like Fitbit surely.

@MakMak your link doesn’t take us quite where it should.  

@Pobster lefty here too.  Agreed.

@JohnnyRow thank you for your advice.  If it’s so good to learn a new skill (and believe me lefties have been doing this their whole lives) why shouldn’t Fitbit flip the screens for all?  Then Righties can get the benefit of learning a new skill...

I am a lefty too, and learned to deal with this issue over 50 years ago. None of the watches I ever had from the time I was a teenager  had the capability to reverse the location of the button, so I learned how to manipulate them as the were.  Times have changed, of course, with the smart watches and the capability to flip the display electronically than it was with with the analog watches of the 50's & 60's.  Meanwhile, I still use the fingers of the left hand to work the buttons on the right-handed smartwatch.

I'm with you, @USAF-Larry and @Julia_G! So many things we make work because we have to.

[Pobster]

Well done you. Personally if I'm paying£299 for a piece of tech on my wrist I would expect it to work as I need it to. And if a simple change can make a big difference to a lot of people who aren't so resourceful as your good self I'm all for it.

A partial solution would be to use a clock face that has a rotated display. Such as SimpleClockPro-L in the gallery.

I saw that on another thread.  I didn’t like the layout of the face or the specific display features.

If all the face developers implement this feature in all the faces, that would be good.

Does the face use any additional battery?
