Blaze more appealing to women

[Kakolden]

I am wondering if Fitbit plans to come out with a version on the blaze the is appealing to women? I tried my co-workers on and it is just so huge and masculine looking. I understand there are different bands but it is really the face of the tracker that isn't very appealing to a more feminine style.

If it is just the face, are you asking for a more feminine looking clock face design?

There are several clock faces available to choose from.

To change in the Fitbit App (phone).

How do I change the clock face?

Blaze offers several designs for the clock. To see your options, open the Fitbit app and tap Account > Blaze > Clock Face. If you change the clock face, sync your tracker to see the change.

@Kakolden, I assume you are not referring to the display on the Blaze (as that is mainly off), but the general shape and size of the device.  I have noted that it is currently quite fashionable to wear these big clock faces -- and even with fairly chunky metal bands.  My 25 year old daughter loves the style of her Blaze -- but I know what you mean.  It is not a traditionally feminine look.

The tech press has reported rumours that Fitbit is working on several new devices -- and obviously this is likely to be true, as the technology changes and improves all the time.  But like most companies Fitbit keeps the design details secret until they are nearly ready to launch, so no one except Fitbit really knows what they are working on.  

Frequently (but not always) new devices come out in the autumn, so maybe there will be something new then.  We just have to wait and see! 

In the meantime, there are, as you note, different band options for the Blaze, with more due to become available this year.  And for a really feminine look there is the Fitbit Alta, although it lacks some on the fitness features that make the Blaze such a great device.

I hope this helps.  Welcome to the forums!

There is another thread here:  https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Smaller-Blaze-for-woman/idc-p/1460865#M72160

that speaks specifically to the request for a unit that is sized more like the 38mm Apple Watch.

You may want to vote up on that thread.  I am currently drafting an email to Fitbit Support asking what, if anything, they plan to do to provide a Blaze-styled unit that is more tailored to a woman's frame and will be linking these posts to my email.  

To anyone looking at these posts and thinking it is referencing the bands; they are not.  It is a request for the physical unit and frame to have a small and large versions while retaining the slick interface.
