Blaze New Features

[Melle12]

Can the Fitbit Blaze get the new Guided Breathing feature? I would love that seeing that I just got my Blaze a few weeks ago and the Breathing feature would help me out alot.

I agree that it would be great if this happens. Unfortunately fitbit haven't yet made any statement about whether this will be possible in the future.

As this is such a recent thing nobody has yet created a feature request for this. You could be the first:

@Melle12 In my experience Fitbit usually picks a set of features and price point, and sticks with it. Perhaps best said by Fitbit CEO on recent earnings call - "... create a broad lineup of products that address a wide range of user needs, form factors and price points. Each product has a well thought out and highly incremental role in our lineup." Translated I've found that to mean when a tracker launches the feature set is more or less fixed, and feature differentiation between models is often quite minor (like Charge 2 is basically Blaze in different form factor, without full smartphone notifications, without music control, and with additional fitness features).

This is a consequence of a broad product line, same thing with Garmin Forerunner series where there are a bunch of models with minor feature differences. This is a different strategy say versus Apple where there is one watch (two physical sizes) and it receives all new features and enhancements.

Would be great for Fitbit to add Charge 2 fitness features to Blaze, however I don't expect Fitbit to "roll that way" and instead seek to keep some differentiation between the two models - Blaze being more smartwatch and stylish, and Charge 2 being more fitness.

My 2 cents based after being around here for 3 years.
