CLOCK FACES: Chronograph, Multistat, Arc
New stuff:
The first time you go to the Relax screen you may be prompted once or twice to sync your tracker. To do so find the Sync Now option in the Fitbit app.

Hi, if you mean REM,Light and Deep sleep, for me also stopped showing from last night. I see only Asleep, Restless and Awake, no other details. if they've changed this, is no good option.

Hi, you'll see a red dashboard for update firmware in the apps as soon as you logged in. The update process time it's depending of phone model. I suggest you to update via windows 10 (desktop or laptop with Bluetooth connection, of course). For me was faster than others which update their Blaze using the smartphones. You have to install the FitBit app.from Windows store, then login with your credentials, connect your blaze to your laptop/desktop windows 10 apps. and ready to go to update. Then install the app on your smartphone and try to connect and sync. I also change my face clock only by windows 10 laptop app, instead of my smartphone, it's also faster process.

I got the firmware release and it told me about sleep stages, but I don't see them like my wife sees on her phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and got the sleep stages Thursday into Friday, but then it went away again last night. Just shows the Asleep/Restless/Awake bars as before the update.

@SunsetRunner you're so right, it looks horrible when goals achieved. I toyed with setting unachievable goals to avoid it but then my stats/app would be up the creek!

I love the new features, very well done Fitbit 🙂
The guided relax is awesome.
I love a couple of the new faces.
Now my favourite faces are the Arc and the Moment, but the Multistat is close behind. If the time colour on the Multistat wasn't pink, then I would like much more. If some of the vacant real estate was used with the other items that are currently scrolled down to, then if would rock as well. Ok, it may be cluttered, but done right, it could work.
Thanks Fitbit, you're doing well, and have listened to your users.
One missing option which is necessary and has been asked for by a larger portion of your users, is being able to show kilojoules instead of calories. Fix that and you will have much more praise from us who live in metric countries.

I love the multistat and I'm very pleased that fitbit choose pink. Pink should not be condemned, it is a beautiful soothing colour.

Had sleep stages for 4 nights after doing the latest firmware update update, but I woke up this morning and no stages for last night's data. It's back to the old style (minus the details).

Since updating my Blaze won't sync with my phone and the battery seems to be draining much faster. Help please!
Update- It finally synced...now to see if that will help the battery from draining.

Mines the same, it takes a lot of restarting and repairing to get it to sync. I leave my phone downstairs overnight and it takes a good hour to re-sync it. Any help would be appreciated.

I saw the sleep stages for a few nights after doing the upgrade, but as of yesterday I am back to seeing the old visual. What happened?
On the plus side, I love the new clock faces!

My Blaze has updates successfully and it syncs. Now I am having a battery drain issue. The battery used to last about 4 days, after the update the battery drain within a day. Secondly, I cannot activate the display with a flick of the wist. I have to tap the screen or press a button.

One question though, on the Chronograph one, there's a play button in the bottom right, but I can't get it to do anything. Is this supposed to start something?
If you hit the bottom right button it starts a chrono function on the watch. Kind of misleading that the icon can't be tapped, but I prefer it as it will avoid unwanted timers starting during your day.
Ah yes! Thanks. Agree that will be nice and avoid any accidental taps. Never thought to check the physical buttons.

Since I've updated it doesn't seem to be capturing step count and active minutes as accurately as before. Don't know if anybody else has experienced this issue? I'm bummed!
