To change the weather to Fahrenheit on your Fitbit Sense, open the Fitbit app on your phone and navigate to the device tile, then to Gallery, select the Weather app, open its Settings, choose Temperature Unit, and select Fahrenheit. After selecting Fahrenheit, sync your watch to apply the change immediately.
How to change the weather to Fahrenheit on your Fitbit Sense
The exact path in the Fitbit app is: device icon or your device tile → Gallery → Apps → Weather → Settings → Temperature Unit → choose Fahrenheit. Once you select Fahrenheit, tap Done or save, then sync your watch to make the change take effect. This process works for both the Fitbit Sense and Sense 2.
Step-by-step: from the Fitbit app to Fahrenheit
- Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
- Tap the device icon or your device tile at the top of the screen.
- Select Gallery from the device menu.
- Scroll to find the Weather app under Apps and tap it.
- Open the Settings menu within the Weather app.
- Choose Temperature Unit (or Units, depending on your app version).
- Select Fahrenheit from the options.
- Tap Done or save the change. Community instructions add a Done button after selecting Fahrenheit, followed by syncing the watch.
- Sync your Fitbit Sense with the app to confirm the unit updates on your watch. The official help page says to choose the unit in Temperature Unit and then sync the device so the change takes effect.
What to do if the weather still shows Celsius
If you have set the Weather app to Fahrenheit but your watch display still shows Celsius, the issue is likely caused by your clock face. Some third-party clock faces override the Weather app’s temperature unit and display only one unit regardless of your setting. To fix this, switch to a different clock face, preferably one of the default Fitbit faces, then check the weather display again. After switching, sync your watch to ensure the correct unit appears. The user-facing FAQ-style guidance in Fitbit community posts notes that some clock faces may still display only one unit even after the Weather app is set correctly, but that is not stated in the official help page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my phone need to stay connected to change the weather unit?
Yes, you must have your Fitbit Sense connected to your smartphone and synced to access the Fitbit app and make changes to the weather unit. The setting is adjusted through the app, not directly on the watch.
Will changing the temperature unit affect other settings on my Fitbit Sense?
No, changing the temperature unit is a standalone customization. It only affects how temperature is displayed in the weather app and does not alter any other settings or features on your device.
Are the steps different on iPhone versus Android?
No, the official Fitbit help page documents the same in-app path for both iPhone and Android. The menu names and steps are identical regardless of your phone’s operating system.
Can I change the time on a Fitbit without the app?
While you can change the time on a Fitbit without the app by using the device’s settings menu, changing the weather temperature unit requires the Fitbit app, there is no method to adjust it directly on the watch itself.
Why does my weather app show Fahrenheit correctly but the clock face still shows Celsius?
This is a known issue with certain third-party clock faces that do not respect the Weather app’s unit setting. Switching to a default Fitbit clock face usually resolves the display mismatch.
