Fix the Time on a Fitbit Versa 3: Time Zone and Clock Settings

The Versa 3 gets its time through syncing with the Google Health app. Correct the app’s time zone, sync again, or change the separate 12- or 24-hour clock preference.

To adjust the time on a Fitbit Versa 3, correct the time-zone setting in the Google Health app, then sync the watch. The watch’s time updates through syncing; the official procedure does not describe a manual time-entry control.

Correct the Versa 3’s local time

  1. Keep the Versa 3 near your phone and open the Google Health app. Try syncing the watch first; syncing is how it receives the correct time. See Google Health’s time-setting instructions.

  2. If the time is still wrong after travel or a time-zone change, open the Today tab and tap your profile picture or initials, then Google Health settings.

  3. Under App Settings, tap Date, time & units, then Time Zone.

Set 12-hour or 24-hour time

To change how the time is displayed, open Google Health settings → Date, time & units → Clock Display Time, choose 12-hour or 24-hour, then sync the watch. This preference changes the clock format, not the time zone. Google Health’s time-setting instructions cover both settings.

If the time remains wrong

After checking the selected zone and syncing, log out of the Google Health app, log back in, and sync again, as Google Health recommends. If the watch will not sync, the problem may be its connection to the phone: keep the devices near each other and follow Google Health’s sync troubleshooting steps. That guide includes restarting the watch and trying a manual sync; it directs users to contact support if syncing still fails.

Time setting or clock-face design?

If the time itself is correct but you want a different visual design, that is a separate clock-face setting. On Versa 3, press and hold the current face to switch among saved faces. Changing a face does not alter the time zone. See Google Health’s clock-face instructions.
