Fitbit Charge 6 Clock Faces Download
Dorothy Parrott
My Charge 4 broke so I just replaced it with the Charge 5. WTF happened to the clock faces? Everything looks like they hired an elementary school-level graphics designer and said "make it look as ugly and be as useless as possible". The obnoxious and uncustomizable colors look like a rainbow unicorn puked on the screen!
I looked up this issue to see if maybe I was missing something. Turns out there has been an ongoing thread on the official Fitbit message boards of people requesting better and more useful clock faces. It's been getting posts for almost a year and a half, and they've still done nothing about it!
Here are screenshots of all the clock faces. In most cases, if not all, you can tap the display to cycle through the various stats. All of them have the time and most of the seem to have the date. On some, the heartbeat is displayed permanently but on others you have to tap a few times to see it. For example, on Slashed, the heartbeat is displayed permanently and you tap to switch from active minutes and steps to calories and distance.
There are 23 clock faces currently available for the Charge 5. The information that is displayed varies between clock faces. You can see the clock faces along with the information they display in the Fitbit app if you select your Charge 5 and then click on Clock Faces.
As @etremblay mentioned earlier, you can always tap on the display to see other stats on the screen, but if you'd like to see the heart rate on the main screen of the clock face (with always on display for example), you could install the "Runliner" or the "Slashed" clock faces, both of them show the heart rate on the screen all the time.
So many clock faces and NOT one seems to have a "battery level indicator" on the default screen. I like to know at a glance. It'd also be nice if the default screens for workouts (using gps) could report battery status. That way if I see GPS is draining battery too fast, I could make a decision to stop GPS to save battery. If fit bit is listening - can this be added to future or existing clock faces?
Get pumped: exciting new features are now available for Fitbit Luxe and Charge 5 users! Update your device now to unlock fun new clock faces. Plus, a way to locate your misplaced phone with the addition of the Find Phone app.
I don't want to sound rude, but the features you're requesting seem more in the realms of a smartwatch than of a fitness tracker.
As a fitness tracker your Charge 5 may be one of the most advanced, especially as it offers a one phase ECG that's officially certifed as a medical product in some countries.
It's bigger sibbling, the Sense (2) goes that one step further towards being a smartwatch offering a greater variety of clock faces.
The thing is I don't want the ECG, heart monitor etc. I only use the charge five for STEPS!! I could have bought the Sense watch or any other watch on the market but the charge five seemed to fit the bill. It does however what that irritates me is when I'm walking and tap the screen to wake it up the steps goes away!! now do you understand?? everyone on the planet does not want everything your selling!! please tell me why not one clock gives the option of a always on step count?? Fitbit started with STEPS!!!
I personally liked that one a lot, @SW5880. Because being slightly blurred it has some extra style, and for that blurring has been named "Ice Cream". You see, different users prefer different kinds of clock faces. And sometimes you simply have to make compromises ...
I was coming here to ask whether we yet know what clock faces are available for the Charge 6. Especially if there are some more basic ones than the Charge 5, like Target. Time/date, heart rate choice, less of the colorful graphics. (Such a boring user)
There are several options available. There will be one clock face that will display the stats that you are looking for. Some of the clock faces offer this feature, when you tap on them, the stats displayed on screen will cycle and you will be able to check the stats directly from the clock face. I understand some may not appeal to you, but that is the reason there are several option.
None of the Charge 6 clock faces are suitable for everyday wear especially in a business atmosphere. The majority of them are nothing more than cartoonish. I would like a normal clockface with date, time, and the option to add one or two additional tracker stats without the need to tap on screens.
Absolutely. Sadly for me the chaotic clock faces are overriding the Charge 6 positives and will most likely result in having to return. It seems all the faces were designed by children, for children. How about something for the adults, normal analog and digital faces that can be read without inducing motion sickness.
I just bought a Charge 6 and I'm not happy about clock faces aswell. The only face that is barely ok is the one named Sans. I'm surprised no to find any simple minimalism clock face.
As a developper I'm disapointed that the fitbit SDK does not handle the Charge 6. I would like to be able at least to create my own clock face
I agree, I was very disappointed in the provide faces, they seem cheesy and garish. Would love a more traditional clock face (hands) + digital. Focus on the following categories:
* dressy - nice watch faces with hands
I just upgraded to a Charge 6 from a Charge 2, and I honestly miss the display of the 2. The time, the date, and the stats I care about the most in the order that I want, all presented simply and in a readable format. Looking through the Charge 6 clock faces, I can barely parse what time it is at a glance because the designs are so wonky, and I can't even choose what stats are displayed for most of the faces. It's completely absurd.
I completely agree. I had a versa 3 before, and loved that I had so many options to customise the clock face. I found one called Acid Clock that let me put my own picture behind it, and customise which stats were showing or not showing, and what colours the writing was in. I changed to a Charge 6, because I wanted a smaller watch to wear, and wanted to keep the ability to pay for things with my watch. Have to say was loving the the Charge 6 until I went to pick a clock face. I don't want bright garish colours when I deliberatly chose a sophisticated rose gold watch, with a muted subtle band. And the colours of the face don't match any of the colours of the watch or bands. The clock times are just laid out weird, with the numbers stacked about each other, instead of like a normal watch time. The only one that had the tracking circle aparently can only be downloaded if you pay for premium. I don't care about active zones, as I'm disabled, and it's difficult for me to get moving, but almost every waych face forces you to have it on there. Coming from the amount of customisation options I had on my versa, I am extremely disappinted & feel ripped off, by the poor choice of clock faces, with no way to customise any of them. Completly agree that they look childish & garish.

So just got the Charge 4 Special Edition and was looking for a clock face like the one that is on the front of the box that the watch came in. It's not availble for this watch,,, for as much as I paid for the watch being some newer technology and can't get this watch face,,, am shocked! Matter of fact, am astonished at how many are not available for this watch, as least the one's that were my taste. Was visiting with tech support last nite late and part of the conversation was the fact of limited options. I was told that that was just how it was! Really?... Am shocked. Are there any options out there? Really just wanted the one that appears on the box for this watch... If not going to be available, then don't use it for the illustration on the packaging that it comes in as it looks great compared to what I had to settle for at this time. Also, as mentioned,,, very hard to find the watch faces that are available for this or any other watch. I would think the the technology would be in placed to just do a 'search' for just your flavor of watch face and what would pop up would be only what would work... Unless I went to the wrong gallery,,,, It was not available for me... Sorry to vent but I had significate hi hopes for this watch and this was only one of other things that are not going so well with this purchase...
Two months and still no update? What are they doing? I got the ECG app in an update but I'd love it if they made the device UI intuitive, especially for clock faces (something I expected when I purchased it), a priority.
I am TRYING to talk myself into purchasing a Fitbit Charge 5 because my Fitbit Charge 3 quit working after just one year. I honestly can't justify the expense for what Fitbit is offering in their latest model. I agree with just about every comment on this page, essentially, you have provided 23 "new and exciting" clock faces, but only one that even remotely serves any on demand purpose, and that's "Slashed". Colors and cute little graphs are not helpful. Most of us live in the real world, we're not professional athletes where active, 24 hour workout monitoring might be relevant. We want a clock face that lets us choose what stats we want and in what order we can view them on a single screen. The current overly whimsically designed clocks seem to be optimized for marketing purposes. Scrolling through the available clocks didn't bring me joy, they aroused rage. Please offer a basic clock face with digital date, time, steps, calories burned, and heart rate without having to scroll. I have looked at and keep trying to talk myself into purchasing the Fitbit Charge 5, only to keep coming back to the same conclusion. I'm actually better off with my old Fitbit Charge 2 to replace my defective Fitbit Charge 3 because it meets the needs that the Charge 5 does not.
