Weather won’t change from Celsius to Fahrenheit

[GeeDaMan]

I see users in the UK have the opposite problem that I’m having. I’m in the US and my Fitbit Sense is only displaying the temperature in Celsius. Upon the initial setup (11/7/2021) it has only displayed Celsius temperatures. All my units are set accordingly with US standards, I’ve changed them from US standard, synced the app then changed the back and synced again but weather still shows Celsius temperature. It’s confusing to me, why are Non US users stuck in US settings and me (US user) stuck in UK settings? I researched this product extensively before deciding to purchase and unfortunately things like this can’t be found out until after a commitment has been made. I’m new to Fitbit products and I do have some patience but this minor issue can result in being a deal breaker. I’m well within my return window and I hope to resolve this issue quickly but if I have to, I’ll return it and purchase an Apple Watch by the end of this week.

Assuming you are talking about temperature in Weather app rather than skin temp, try from phone app Today screen:

Profile pic > your tracker > Gallery (or Apps) > your tracker tab at top > Weather > Settings > Unit

Hi JohnnyRow - Excellent response on your part and now I have Fahrenheit displayed on my new Sense watch!

@GeeDaMan Welcome to the Community. @TTerrific and @JohnnyRow It's good to see you here.

@GeeDaMan I appreciate the steps tried prior to posting. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by this situation. Before anything else, let me clarify that there are two different settings that you need to check. The first one is related to the skin temperature tile on the Fitbit app and the units can be adjusted with the steps described here.

On the other hand, to adjust the Weather app units on your Sense please give a try to the great suggestions shared by @JohnnyRow. Make sure to sync your watch to apply the changes.

@TTerrific Thanks for your efforts while troubleshooting the Fitbit app. I'm glad the Weather app is showing the right units and I hope you can keep enjoying the experience with your Sense.

Thank you for this info! I just activated my Sense yesterday and had Fahrenheit checked in the app, and kept syncing and restarting. Finally looked up the conversion rate from Celsius to Fahrenheit, thinking I might get really good at multiples of 1.8, in case I couldn't ever get it to change LOL. But your directions did it - thank you so much!

This  is the problem with my Fitbit as well!  Not sure I like this watch! Probably will return!

[jbpbn3]

Follow JohnnyRow's instructions and it should change. I couldn't get it to change the standard simple way but go it to change this way.

I tried this and it still does not work. I just set this up today.

[koikeeper]

I can always get a answer on here. You guys know everything! Thank you! I tried everything to get mine to switch back to Faherenheit and nothing worked.

[Betogl]

Have tried several ways!  Still no luck

[koikeeper]

Did you try changing it through Gallery like Johnny Row posted above? I followed his instructions and it worked for me. Good luck!

[Terri22470]

I did and it still didn’t work 

[Britmiller]

I've tried this multiple times its still not changing. 

[jontl]

Thanks Johnny Row, it worked!

did not work for me

I can’t find the ‘your tracker’, or Gallery (for Apps), locations after tapping on my Profile pic. 

[Lora22]

Please post a picture of where those links are.  I cant find them on the Sense I bought yesterday.  Is it possible the directions JohnnyRow gave are for a different model?  If so, where do I look to determine if mine is a 2021 model or a 2022?
