Hi @SunsetRunner  you need at least Android 8 or iOS 13 to use the Fitbit app. The Blaze was retired in 2018 and replaced by the Versa series.

Do you mean my phone? My phone is up to date and everything. I know that it was replaced that's why Im wondering if the watches software will be compatible with my phone.

Do you have at least Android 8 or iOS 13 on your phone? If so, it should be fine.

@SunsetRunner   Before you buy that Blaze, you need to be aware of some information.  Fitbit introduced the Blaze in 2016 and discontinued it in 2018.  Any Blaze that you buy has a battery that is likely 4-5 years old.  The type of battery in a Fitbit can get "old" just sitting in a box.  You might not get the performance that you expect.  Also, the Blaze cost $200 (USD) when new.  Paying more than that for a discontinued device just doesn't make sense.  And unless you are buying this Blaze from an authorized retailer, there is no warranty.

So far I have no issues whatsoever.

Hello @silver_ghost and welcome to the Help forum.  I can see from your profile that you are a new user and I expect your Blaze should work well.  A lithium ion battery has a lifespan of about 3-5 years.  But they degrade over time.  I don't think your Blaze will have a normal battery lifespan.
