To change the clock face on your Fitbit Charge 4, open the Fitbit app on your phone and navigate to the Today tab. From there, tap your device tile (labeled Charge 4), then choose either Gallery > Clocks or Clock Faces > All Clocks, depending on your app version, and tap Install or Select on the face you want.
How to change the clock face on Fitbit Charge 4
Fitbit documents two official paths to reach the clock face settings in the app. Both require your Charge 4 to be nearby and synced. The first path is: Today tab > Devices > Charge 4 > Gallery > Clocks. The second path, found in the Charge 4 user manual, is: Today tab > profile picture > Charge 4 tile > Clock Faces > All Clocks. Both routes lead to the same clock face gallery, where you can browse and install a new face. If your app shows Gallery instead of Clock Faces, both are documented entry points on official Fitbit pages.
Browsing and selecting a clock face
Once you are in the clock face gallery, tap Clocks or All Clocks to see the available designs. The Charge 4 manual says to tap a clock face to see a detailed view before selecting it. To apply it to your Charge 4, tap Install or Select. The new face will sync to your device automatically.
What you can customize on your clock face
The official Charge 4 documentation does not describe any on-device editing controls beyond choosing and installing a clock face. Your only documented customization step is selecting a face from the gallery and installing it.
Troubleshooting clock face issues
If a clock face does not install or display correctly, start by keeping your Charge 4 nearby and ensuring it is connected in the Fitbit app before you attempt to install a face. Keep the device nearby while changing the clock face. Make sure the Charge 4 is connected in the Fitbit app before you try to install a face. If you are still having trouble, confirm that your device is synced and the app is up to date. For a separate issue where your Fitbit Charge 4 is not displaying when turning wrist, check your device’s display settings in the app to ensure the tilt-to-wake feature is enabled.
