Your Fitbit Versa allows you to customize watch faces beyond just one! This keeps Fitbit competitive with other customizable fitness trackers, like Apple Watch.

With the Versa series, you can easily switch between up to 5 watch faces or wallpapers. Once you choose one to your liking, your watch will save it automatically unless you are already at the limit of 5.

2. Tap ‘Gallery’ and then search for ‘Bitmoji’ using the small magnifying glass icon.

6. The application will then prompt you to connect your Snapchat to your Fitbit account and let it sync up.

The fun part is the picture can stay synced up with your Snapchat avatar by utilizing the ‘Sync Bitmoji’ icon in the clock settings. That way, any time you update your picture on Snapchat, your watch will stay up to date.
