If I am going to wear this all the time. I expect to be able to choose what notifications I get on the watch. NOT just calls/sms/calender.
So, can I choose what apps send notifications to the watch?

@kogiThanks for the question. Depending on your mobile device OS (iOS, Android, Windows Phone), you will be able to receive call/text/calendar notifications with Blaze. To learn more about Blaze's features, check out this page.

Not from the promo information that has been released so far, no. Calendar notifications have been added as you know, but that's it so far.

Remember this is a smart FITNESS watch. Not a Smartwatch. If you want a smart watch that sends notifications from all your apps than get the Samsung Gear S2 or the Apple Watch. The Blaze is a smart fitness watch that is used for fitness with a few other basic featues. I doubt it will ever be able to send notifications from apps like Smart watches do. It would kill the battery pretty fast.

Bit Ticker notifacations app on Android will let you choose what apps send data to the Fitbit App, which then passes it on to the Charge, Charge HR, and Surge. I would suspect yhis would also work with the Blaze.

Any news on whether? Would love to see the temp on the Blaze screen while outside instead of needing to take out my phone.

@matt9013 are you saying that your phone has a thermometer to read the air temperature, or do you want the temperature reported by a service such as weather.com?

I am new fitbit and the Blaze. When I get a text message I get a notification that I got a text but I cannot read it from my watch. I am using a Galaxy s5. It was my understanding that I would be able to read the text as well. Any help would be appreciated.

The Blaze needs to support full notifications. There is a reason the stock dropped 20%.I agree, this really is a limitation of the software. If the device can receive 'data' from the mobile app over Bluetooth, then it can receive any data. It is not a restricting of Bluetooth, but a failing of the mobile app to handle any message/call/calendar notifications and pass them on to the phone.
Hopefully this will be fixed in a future update. Come on Blaze, your already trailing your competitors

Have you got the Blaze synched to the S5 as Blaze or as Blaze Classic ?
Until I switched to Bluetooth Classic mode on the Blaze I only got a notification of a message and no text. Now the text works too.

@nickidea check the app settings, when your phones screen is locked, what info do you recommend on the phones pop-up window? If you would like more help we will need to know which of the 50 or so messaging apps availible that is being used.
As for Bluetooth Classic, this is strictly used for music control, some other setting probably was switched.

Sorry Rich, you might think so but for the Blaze and Samsung S5 that was the only thing which worked for sms texts to show.
