Disable long press to change clock face

[Becf150]

How can I disable the long press to change the clock face setting? I don't know how this feature is useful..I'm constantly setting it off and accidentally changing the face. I've searched high and low, I only found another community post from 2023 asking the same thing but told it can't be turned off.....is that still the case?? Or at least make the long press longer than 1 second

@Becf150 , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message. 

The first time you use the button shortcut, you select which feature it activates. To later change which feature activates when you hold the button, open the Settings app on your watch and tap the Left Button option. There you can choose the options for the shortcut.

I am not referring to the button. 

I'm talking about the long press on the screen that will then pop-up the option to change the clock face.

Hi @Becf150.  I'm sorry, but we can't disable that feature.  It is part of the core programming.  It happens to me from time to time.  I understand why you might not find it useful.  Long time users like me remember when you couldn't store clock faces on the screen and we had to change them in the Fitbit app.

The best way to give feedback to Fitbit is in the Fitbit app if you migrated to a Google account.  Tap on you profile picture, then Send feedback.  I think it will help to refer to it as a hard press on the screen.  The "knee jerk" association with long press is a long press on the button.
