How would you go about changing the clock face of your Versa 3 smart watch?

Fitbit ships the Versa 3 with a default clock face. You could always change it by using the Fitbit app. Before you can download additional clock faces, please make sure that the Fitbit app is installed on a phone that is compatible with the Fitbit operating system. In other words, your phone needs to be comply to the following standard –

iOS 13 or higher on the Apple phones.

Android 8 or higher on the Android phones.

Besides, some Android phones such as the Huawei P9 Lite, Huawei 8P Lite and Huawei P20 Lite have issues in connecting with the Versa 3 smart watch and/or in running the Fitbit app on the phone. Xiaomi’s Mi6 phones have compatibility issues with the Versa 3 smart watch. There could be other Android phones with which the Versa 3 smart watch or the Fitbit app may not work without errors.

Another thing that is worth checking before installing the clock faces is to ensure that no more than 38 apps are installed on the Versa 3 smart watch. Presumably, installing clock faces on the Versa 3 would consume physical space on the device and Fitbit wants to make sure that no more than 38 apps are installed on the Fitbit device.

Once you are sure that your phone is compatible with the Fitbit OS and you have less than 38 apps on the Versa 3, you may install clock faces on the Versa 3 smart watch. To install the clock faces, you will need access to the Fitbit app. The phone also needs to be in close proximity with the Versa 3 smart watch.

To install the clock faces on your Versa 3 smart watch, follow these instructions:

  1. On your Fitbit app, tap the Today tab Fitbit logo in black, which looks like 13 circles in the shape of a diamond, where the circles are larger from left to right then your profile picture then your device image.
  2. Tap Clock Faces.
  3. Browse the available clock faces. Tap the clock face you want then Install.

During the installation of clock faces, you may have to give allow permissions to the app because most clock faces will require deeper access to the Versa 3 smart watch’s storage, images and contacts. Should you be paranoid about the security of your Versa 3 smart watch, consider using the default Fitbit clock face on the Versa 3 smart watch.

How many clock faces can I install on Versa 3 smart watch?


You can install up to 5 different clock faces on the Fitbit Versa 3 smart watch. You could choose to download these from the Fitbit.com website or you could decide to use customized clock faces for the Fitbit Versa 3.

If you wish to add a new clock face on a Versa 3 smart watch device that already has 5 clock faces, we suggest that you make space on the device by deleting one of the existing clock faces.

Also, do bear in mind that if your Fitbit app or the Versa 3 smart watch is not compatible with your phone, you will be out of support in terms of installing the clock faces on your Versa 3. In other words, you will not get any support from the Fitbit team when you try to install clock faces through an un-supported mobile phone that hosts the Fitbit app.

How can I check the clock faces that are installed on my Versa 3?


Once the clock faces have been installed on your Versa 3, you could check all the clock faces through the Fitbit app. To access the clock faces on your Versa 3,
