To change the time on your Fitbit Luxe, you must update the time zone in the Fitbit app and then sync your device; there is no way to adjust the clock directly on the tracker itself. This is the only documented method to change time on Fitbit Luxe, and it works whether you need to correct for daylight saving time or a new time zone after traveling.
How to change time on Fitbit Luxe via the app
The time displayed on your Fitbit Luxe is controlled by the time zone setting in the Fitbit app on your phone. After you change the time zone and sync, the watch updates automatically. Follow the steps below for your specific phone type. Note: Some sources incorrectly claim you can change the time directly on the device itself via Settings > Clock, but there is no manual clock-setting option on the Luxe. Additionally, a 'Clock Face' menu path is sometimes mentioned for changing the time, but this is not a documented method for setting the time on the Luxe.

Troubleshooting: Fitbit Luxe time still wrong?
If the time remains incorrect after following the steps above, log out of the Fitbit app and log back in, then sync your device again. This is the documented fix for persistent time issues.

You can also try restarting your Fitbit Luxe, checking for firmware updates, or resetting the syncing function as additional troubleshooting steps.
