Check Your Settings
Sometimes, the problem lies within your Fitbit Luxe‘s settings. Here’s how to check and adjust them:
- Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
- Navigate to the “Today” tab and tap on your Fitbit Luxe’s tile.
- Go to “Settings” and then “Clock Display.”
- Ensure that the “Show Time” option is enabled.
If the “Show Time” option is already enabled, try toggling it off and then back on. This can sometimes resolve software glitches.
Update Your Firmware
An outdated firmware version could be the culprit behind your Fitbit Luxe‘s time-display issues. Here’s how to update the firmware:
- Open the Fitbit app and navigate to the “Today” tab.
- Tap on your Fitbit Luxe’s tile.
- Go to “Settings” and then “About.”
- If a firmware update is available, you’ll see a notification. Follow the on-screen instructions to update your Fitbit Luxe.
Updating the firmware can resolve compatibility issues and bring your Fitbit Luxe back to normal functionality.
Check Battery Level
A low battery can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior, including the time not displaying correctly. Make sure your Fitbit Luxe has sufficient battery life:
- Check the battery icon on your Fitbit Luxe’s screen.
- If the battery is low, charge your Fitbit Luxe using the charging cable.
Once your Fitbit Luxe has enough charge, check if the time is displaying properly.
Reset Your Fitbit Luxe
If none of the above solutions have worked, you can try resetting your Fitbit Luxe to factory settings. This will erase all data and settings from your device.
- Open the Fitbit app and navigate to the “Today” tab.
- Tap on your Fitbit Luxe’s tile.
- Go to “Settings” and then “About.”
- Scroll down and tap on “Factory Reset.”
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your Fitbit Luxe.
After the reset, you will need to set up your Fitbit Luxe again. This may resolve any software glitches or corrupted data that were causing the time display issue.
