Always on display option

[Gavingavin]

I want a feature that will allow my Fitbit Blaze screen to always remain on. This includes all screens such as the home screen, exercise screen, stopwatch screen, etc. I feel that this would be an extremely simple feature for Fitbit to add to the settings of the fit it blaze, and many people would find it very useful.

A warm welcome to the Community @Gavingavin. I think that it would be a great feature for the Blaze, please take a look at the Allow Device Screen (Clock Face and Stopwatch/timer) to Stay On Longer or Permanently request, vote for it and leave your comment.

Happy stepping!

I don't want to burst your bubble but your suggestion would likely deplete the battery within hours.

The LCD backlight is certainly one of the most power demanding component of the fitness tracker.

I'm looking for this feature as well, the linked vote is from 2013 and has obviously already been ignored by the Blaze developers, is there a current request specifically for the Blaze. I got my Blaze for Christmas have taken it to the gym a few times and it is completely useless when using weights or machines as you are unable to complete the (very) specific movement required to turn it on or touch the buttons. Lots of these posts on here are being dismissed by references to battery life, but I would like to turn it on for the period of my workout, not all of the time.

That one is the current request we recently merged close to 100 requests for an always on display. Having so many requests that causes the votes to be split will prevent the developers from realizing that this is a popular suggesrion.. Of course we still get a few new suggestions every week even though the user is forced to do a search

Hi,

Where can I find that option on the blaze. Also is there a way to make text notifications show the name of the sender rather than "new message"

Currently @sosinuga the only face that stays on is the Quick stopwatch on the chronograph mode.

To add your vote to the feature suggestion follow the link in @AlejandraFitbit pay above.

It's great to see you here @sosinuga and @Rich_Laue thanks for the input.

I know that it would be awesome to have this feature for all of our devices and as recommended previously, take a look at the Allow Device Screen (Clock Face and Stopwatch/timer) to Stay On Longer or Permanently request, vote for it and leave your comment.

Catch you later.
