To change your Fitbit Sense clock face, open the Fitbit app and tap the Today tab, then the devices icon, then your device, then Gallery > Clocks, browse the faces, and tap Install on the one you want. This is the only documented method for changing the clock face on a Fitbit Sense.
How to change your Fitbit Sense clock face
The verified step-by-step path to change the clock face on your Fitbit Sense works the same on both iPhone and Android. Follow these steps with your watch nearby and connected:
- Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
- Tap the Today tab.
- Tap the devices icon.
- Tap your Fitbit Sense device.
- Tap Gallery.
- Tap the Clocks tab.
- Browse the available clock faces.
- Tap the clock face you want, then tap Install.
The Fitbit app path is identical on iPhone and Android; the official help result does not list different menu paths for the two platforms.
Can you change the clock face from the watch itself?
No on-watch method is documented for the Fitbit Sense. All changes to the clock face must go through the Fitbit app on your smartphone. The official help result does not describe a watch-only path for the Fitbit Sense. However, the original FAQ #1 describes an on-watch method: start by tapping or swiping upwards on the clock face of your Fitbit Sense to see a list of available clock faces and select one.
What to do if the new clock face won't install
If the clock face does not install, perform these basic checks before seeking further help:
- Ensure your Fitbit Sense is nearby and connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
- Confirm the Fitbit app is up to date.
- Verify the clock face you selected is compatible with the Fitbit Sense.
- Clear the Fitbit app cache as a fix when the face change process is disrupted.
- Restart the Fitbit Sense device as a fix for minor glitches.
- Check available storage and delete unused faces if you cannot add new ones, implying a storage limit.
- Reinstall the Fitbit app as a last-resort fix.
It also does not state a cap on how many clock faces can be installed or saved. If the issue persists after these checks, contact Fitbit customer support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I customize the clock face after installing it?
Some clock faces in the Gallery have customizable options such as color themes, complications, or layout. To modify these, tap the gear or settings icon associated with the selected clock face in the Fitbit app before or after installation.
Are there free clock faces available for the Fitbit Sense?
Yes, the Gallery includes both free and premium clock faces. Browse the Clocks tab to see all available options, including free ones.
Can I change the clock face from my computer?
No. You must use the Fitbit app on your smartphone to browse, download, and install clock faces on your Fitbit Sense. The computer is not a supported method.
Will changing the clock face affect my Fitbit battery and power settings?
Some animated or more complex clock faces may use more power than simpler designs. You can manage this through your Fitbit battery and power settings on the device itself, but the clock face change itself does not alter those settings.
How do I remove a clock face I no longer want?
Open the Fitbit app, go to Gallery > Clocks, and tap the clock face you want to remove. Look for a delete or remove option. Deleting unused faces can free up storage space on your device.
