How to Easily Change and Use Clock Faces on Fitbit Devices

Fitbit offers a fantastic collection of both free and paid clock faces, just like other smartwatches. Whether you want to switch to a new clock face or customize settings for an existing one, it's easy to do with Fitbit. In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps to change and use clock faces on your Fitbit device.

How to Install New Clock Faces on Fitbit Watch

To install new clock faces on your Fitbit device, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Fitbit app on your Android phone or iPhone and pair your watch with the app if you haven't done so already.

  2. Tap on the account icon at the top-left corner of the Fitbit app and select your Fitbit watch.

  3. Tap on “Gallery” and then select “Clocks” to see the available clock faces.

  4. Browse through the list of clock faces, both free and paid, and tap on the one you like to learn more about it.

  5. If you decide to install a clock face, simply hit the “Install” button.

  6. Grant the necessary permissions by enabling the toggle next to “Select all” and then proceed with the installation.

  7. The clock face will start downloading, and once it's downloaded, it will automatically become the new clock face on your watch. You'll feel a vibration on your watch, indicating that the watch face has been changed.

Tip: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone to sync the clock face with the watch.

How to Change Fitbit Clock Faces

If you want to switch to an already installed watch face, you can do it either from the Fitbit app or directly from your watch.

Switching from the Fitbit App

  1. Open the Fitbit app on your phone.

  2. Tap on the account icon at the top and go to your Fitbit device.

  3. Tap on “Gallery” and find the watch face you want to switch to. If it's not in the list, search for it by name.

  4. Tap on the watch face and select the “Select” button to switch to it.

Switching from the Fitbit Watch

If you own a Fitbit Versa, Ionic, or Sense, you can save up to five clock faces on the watch itself. Here's how you can switch between them:

  1. Open the Clocks app on your Fitbit watch.

  2. Swipe through the available watch faces and tap on the one you want to use.

How to Add or Remove Saved Watch Faces

To add or remove saved watch faces on your Fitbit device, follow these steps:

  1. In the Fitbit app, tap on the clock face you want to remove in the “My clocks” section.

  2. Hit the “Remove clock face” button and confirm your choice.

One of the placeholders will become empty, allowing you to view the available watch faces. Select the one you want to use and hit the “Install” button. This watch face will occupy a position in the saved watch faces section and will also show up in the Clocks app on your watch.

How to Change Fitbit Clock Face Back to Original

Changing the Fitbit clock face back to the original is as simple as switching to a new clock face. You can do it from the watch or the app itself. Just select the watch face you want to switch to.

If the original watch face doesn't appear in the “Saved watch faces” section, open the Fitbit app and tap on the account icon. Go to your Fitbit device, select “Gallery,” and then “Clocks.” Look for the “By Fitbit” section and tap on “View all” to see all the watch faces from Fitbit. Choose the one you want to use and hit “Select” or “Install.”

How to Customize Watch Face Settings or Permissions

After installing a watch face, you can customize its settings and permissions. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Fitbit app on your phone.

  2. Go to the account icon, select your Fitbit device, and then tap on “Gallery.”

  3. Tap on the clock face you want to customize under the “My clocks” section, or search for it using the search option.

  4. Hit the “Settings” option to customize the watch face settings, or tap on “See all details” followed by “Permissions” to change the clock face permissions.
