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.

Do u want me to call u?  I can walk you through the process.  

[HeatherEndrihs]

I just wanted to say thank you. I have never been able to figure this out with my previous Fitbit. I now own a Versa 3 & here I am, 8 months later & thanks to you, my weather app now reads in  Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. 

Perfect advice! Thank you... ❤️

I have followed your instructions precisely many times and it does not
work.

So frustrating that you are not reading what I said.

Brilliant worked for me.

I’m going to suggest for you to call Fitbit.   I have had many people that my instructions has worked for so maybe Fitbit can help walk you through it.  They will tell you the same thing.  

[Tennis44]

Glad it worked for you!!!

I know how frustrating this is, I tried the above many times with no success - here's the only thing that worked for me:

1) click on your Sense profile picture

2) click on the picture of your actual sense deivce

3) click on gallery

4) you should now see a picture of your sense with your apps listed below

5) scroll down until you see "weather" and click on that

6) click on "unit" and change that to fahrenheit

This is the only thing that worked for me, hope this helps!

This has been driving me crazy for nearly 2 years! Thank you so much for streamlining the process! I knew it wasn’t 33° in Nebraska during August!

[Pablo4329]

No problem, if it were 33 in Nebraska in August I don't think I would be visiting any time soon!  One thing I'm not crazy about is that if a software update gets pushed out you will probably have to do this again as mine resorted back to celsius afterwards.

Excellent JohnnyRow. 

All fixed!

I would never have thought of that!

Many thanks!

[Pablo4329]

No problem, I don't think I thought of it either, I think somewhere someone taught it to me!

[lmevans66]

Thank you!! Mine changes all by itself every so often.

[Pablo4329]

They sometimes have a mind of their own!

[Tennis44]

Not sure what that is all about.  My Fitbit has never changed by itself. Like I said this can not be changed in the settings of your watch but has to be done on the FitBit app on you phone.  It will not change then.  

[Tennis44]

Just glad it worked for you!

[Tennis44]

Basically that is what I said to do.  I have an iPhone so if you have an android it could b different but this is all in the app not the phone. 

[SunsetRunner]

I am having the same issue on my versa 3, can’t get it to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit even though the setting is checked for Fahrenheit.  What’s the fix?  Thx

[Pablo4329]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the versa product, does it not have the
apps where you can follow the same steps I laid out here?

[Tennis44]

First of all make sure you are making the changes on your smartphone and
not on the settings of your watch. Open your app on your phone then on
your picture in the upper left hand corner click on that, the next screen
you will choose the model of the Versa 3. On the next screen you will see
5 pictures at the top one says Gallery click on that. Scroll down on the
next screen you will see weather at the very bottom of this screen, click
on weather, that screen will have settings, click on that and the next
screen will have units at the top click on that and it gives you the option
to choose Fahrenheit or Celsius, once you do this it will never change
again. Good luck!!! Let me know if you got it.

[Tennis44]

Pick what ever watch that you have. For some reason I thought that you
said that you had a Versa 3
