So far I've seen that everyone's upset that the new software update for Blaze got delayed from February to "coming soon", but really everyone should stop complaining about something that can't be changed anyway and focus on how excited we all are for new features!! From what I've been reading it sounds like the delay just means Fitbit is working out the bugs to present a more perfected update! 🙂 Which is satisfying to me since I don't want an update that just causes more problems! Hopefully, it will be released soon!

 

- Which leads me to my question, I want to confirm what features will all be included. So far I've heard of the cardio fitness score & guided breathing sessions being added? Is that confirmed? And most importantly will the new sleep features of the Alta HR be included as part of the Blaze update (sleep stages, etc)?

 

- Also, I'm looking for a good discussion of what the community wishes for features of the future! For example, I am hoping for water/swim proof fitbits someday soon!!

 

Comments/Suggestions/Answers? 🙂

I can confirm that sleep stages will be coming to the Blaze. They've even jumped the gun and published a help file for it that confirms it:

The complaints stem from the repeated  history from the unlearned lesson of the last Fitbit update fiasco that erupted here.

Fitbit can't be bothered to fix a big bug that takes minutes and lasted years

Are any new features coming for the fitbit blaze in regards to Windows 10 mobile like text message alerts and phone call alerts

when are those features coming to the Microsoft Windows 10 Mobile as well as other features like facebook alerts and the other notification features for apps on Windows 10 or Windows 10 Mobile?

@schinchillaboy notification most likely this will not be part if the tracker update since it relates to the Win 10 app. My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the Win 10 forum for updates. 

Currently you'll notice that this feature is in beta testing.

Are they going to fix the distance? Honestly i'm so dissapointed in this. Thinking i'm nailing a run at 4.5 min km, when in fact i'm doing over 5 due to the inaccuracy of the distance on the Blaze.

 

Have they actually even acknowledged this? I've seen lots of complaints on the forum, but not even a hint of a fix.
