To change Celsius to Fahrenheit on Fitbit Sense, you must adjust the setting in the Fitbit app on your phone, not on the watch itself, and then sync your device. This change is made in the app's Date, time & units menu and applies to all temperature readings on your Sense after a successful sync.
Steps to change Celsius to Fahrenheit on Fitbit Sense
The Fitbit Sense comes with Celsius as the default setting.
- Open the Fitbit app and go to the Today tab.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Select Fitbit settings.
- Tap Date, time & units.
- Under Units of Measurement, choose Fahrenheit.
- Sync your Fitbit device to apply the change.
Steps for Android users
- Tap the settings icon (gear icon).
- Select App Settings.
- Tap Date, time & units.
For Sense 2 weather app users
If you own a Fitbit Sense 2 and want to change the temperature unit specifically in the weather app, a community-supported path is available. Tap the device/battery icon in the upper left of the Fitbit app, then tap your Sense 2 tile. Tap Gallery, then Weather, then Settings, and select your preferred temperature unit.
What to do if the unit doesn't change
If the temperature unit still shows Celsius after following the steps above, first ensure your Fitbit app is up-to-date. Then manually sync your Fitbit device again after changing the setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to change the temperature unit on my Fitbit Sense?
Changing the unit lets you see temperatures in the scale you understand best, avoiding manual conversions and making readings instantly clear.
Can I switch back to Celsius at any time?
Yes. Follow the same steps in the Fitbit app and choose Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. The setting is a simple preference toggle that you can change as often as you like.
Does changing the temperature unit affect any other data on my Fitbit Sense?
No. Changing the temperature unit only affects how temperature readings are displayed. It does not alter any other settings, health metrics, or data stored on your device.
Will this change affect the weather updates on my Sense?
No. The weather information on your Fitbit Sense is based on your location and will continue to update normally. The unit change simply adjusts how that temperature is displayed.
Do I need to know how to change the time on a Fitbit without the app to complete this?
No. Changing the temperature unit is done entirely within the Fitbit app and does not require you to change the time on a Fitbit without the app. The two settings are unrelated.
