Battery Gauge

I wish the Blaze could display the percent of battery left like the charge 2 can.

Feature Suggestions: New-Battery-Icon-for-Blaze-Percentage

[RLCYA]

I agree.  I just upgraded from a Charge 2 to a Blaze.  the Charge 2 had the feature showing a battery percentage on the display.  I falsely assumed that a better fitbit would have this same feature.  I may be forced to return my Blaze for my money back and reinstall my old Charge 2

My Charge 2 has this feature.  Why can't the more expenseive Blaze have it?

When the red battery icon shows up on the clock face, I know it needs to be charged toning hr. 

When I get an email, I know I should set some time aside to charge the unit.

That is true.  However, on my Charge 2, I actually had a charge %age that I could scroll to and see when it was getting low.  It is a feature on a less expensive fitbit and also on the Ionic, so it dhould not be difficult to do on the Blaze.  I personally thi k it was a programming oversight.
Secondly, I do not always carry my charger if I gone a couple of days, but if I could see that I only have 30% less, I could either charge before I leave or pack the charger.

you can see battery level if you swipe off the clock face to the side. and you can see the level on your phone in the app

[RLCYA]

You are correct.  I got my magnifying glass out, and I could see the small, very faint battery icon.  On my Charge 2, the battery was bright, larger and has the remaining %-age as well. I guess I assumed that would be part of a more expensive device.

Thank you for your reply and making me aware that with the proper equipment, I can see a battery icon (without a percentage).
