Update 4/12/16:

Hey all,

As of yesterday, the firmware update for Blaze should be available to everyone. As is common with initial updates, this version focuses on stability improvements and bug fixes. We're looking forward to delivering feature improvements with future updates so stay tuned! 

Update 4/5/16:

I've addressed some things I've seen come up in this thread in a post I made here. Check it out! 

Hey! While it is April 1st, the Blaze firmware update to version 17.8.104.1 is no joke. As usual, we're rolling out the update in waves, and we hope to have everyone updated soon.

This release includes the following:

• General improvements
• Minor bug fixes

Any questions, just let us know.

Thanks for your response! I haven't noticed any issues with functionality
and all seems well (just wait, we all know that rule!). I will just keep
walking (was going to say "sit tight," but not in this world) and wait for
the updates.

This touchscreen needs a lock function!! Blaze is cancelling workouts within minutes due to my boxing gloves brushing the screen!

I just bought my Fitbit Blaze yesterday and it is running on firmware version 17.8.102.7, how I can update mine? I don't see update available. thanks

It is rolling out, as stated numerous times by Fitbit. It is not available to everyone just yet.

[MoovinGroovin]

Most companies beta test their software first. I think Fitbit uses its customers as beta testers, hence the slow firmware rollout, (finger's crossed wink wink nudge nudge hope this one works)

[Nocturnx]

@MoovinGroovin Nah, I work in IT for a large corporation and this is a very common practice.  There are very good technical and logistical reasons for a controlled rollout no matter how much testing has been done.  I'm a proponent of this method as opposed to the shotgun approach.  In my opinion it's just good SOP.

[marcusb84]

Google, Microsoft, etc all do this. It has nothing to do with being a beta tester. There are a million users of the Blaze alone. If there is an issue, it would overwhelm them in trying to resolve. Better to send it to some and make sure all goes as planned. There is no real way to test a roll out that large with people having so many different kinds of phones and computers.

I started work at Oracle c.1990 and have been closely associated with rollouts from major techs ever since. I half jest, but knowing Fitbit, I'm also half serious.

My Blaze dosen't show an update as being availible. It's still running 17.8102.7

[Nocturnx]

Hi @jbw72 - The firmware update is still being rolled out, not everyone has it yet.

[jbw72]

Well I hope they speed it up haha. I'm having an issue with sleep and step tracking and the the email I got from customer service says the update should fix it. Thanks for the info @Nocturnx

[ThePreacher]

That's it. I'm holding my breath until they release it to everyone else. If the police ask, just direct them to this forum for the reason. 😶

[Rbrockport]

Eager to get my update!!!

[Bjdgoldrish]

Is their a notification for being stationary longer than 10 minutes like the altra on the blaze?

[Ashcarey]

I still cannot update the firmware 8 days later. 😡😡

[Rbrockport]

Your not the only one in that boat!!!

my Blaze will not update to 17.8.104.1.  Tried everything.  Fitbit Connect says my Blaze is up to date with version 17.8.102.1  Don't understand which is version is the correct latest version.

And, why 17.8.104.1, if it is the latest update, won't download????

[SunsetRunner]

Guys, it will come when it comes. It's a staggered roll out, so not everyone will get it at the same time.

[RyGUYM]

I got my blaze today and doing the initial update still... man this thing is taking forever....

[Ashcarey]

I can see the update. It just won't go through. Keeps saying operations cant be completed FBBluetoothErrorDomainerror 3. I can't even sync.
