Blaze will make you sick!

[PeterSD]

I first bought a Charge HR and loved that.

Then i bought a Blaze, and thought that would be even better, but it´s not, it is actually making people tired, stressfull and proberbly sick!

Why you ask.

It´s simple, you will wake up from the screen light MANY times each night, the tap gesture feature cant be turned off for some reason, like it can on the Charge HR, and that result in a poor sleep, night after night!

I was on the edge of breaking completely down becource i was stressed out and tired at work for months now, and i didn´t really know why...

I did know that i had seen the screen light at night on the blaze now and then, but i did not connect the dots, until i about a week ago, when i just for fun tried my Charge HR again... Allready the next day, i was feeling so much better, relaxed and calm, and now i sleep all throug the night again!

Now it is easy for me to see that the sleep problems started when i started to use my Blaze!!

It is actually also really easy to see how i sleep with Charge HR vs Blaze, as i can just use fitbits on sleep-tracker to study what is happening!

It is sick that a helth-fitness-tracker like the Blaze, will actually make people sick from poor design and faulty software with lack of basic features, like a complete blackout at night!!!

The Blaze must be one big design fault when fitbit haven´t sorted this out allready.

- this watch will in the end have lives on it´s name for shure!!

Fitbit, make the Blaze work as it should, or pull it off the marked now!

Unfortunately you have to live with the tracker notifications even when notifications are off.  I decided to stop ignoring it. It took about 2 days and it stopped.

@PeterSD if your refferring to the Quickview function lighting the display up then i suggest going into the settings menu of the blaze and turning quickview off. When you taise and rotate your arm, does the screen still turn on?.

As for notifications, these can be turned off by swiping down on the clock, or holding in the top right button, then turn off notifications. 

As for brightness we have the option of auto, dim, normal, and max

The Blaze will also turn on with a tap of a button, or a double touch on the display.

[PeterSD]

The dobble tab is the problem, as you cant turn that off on the blaze,
while you can turn it off on the Charge HR...
This "feature" make the screen go on many times each night!
Why am i not able to turn this off, on a Blaze, that i really just stupid!

[Rich_Laue]

I'mnot sure how i would get my finger to double tap the tracker inless i was awke, sorry

@PeterSD

You can turn off quick view

[WendyB]

You can also do it from the device it self under settings which is the last screen

[PeterSD]

Many people has this exact complaint if you just read the threads.

I am confused as of WHY the Blaze don´t have the ablillty to turn this
"feature" off, while you can turn off the exact same "feature" on the
Charge HR...
- if you don´t even see the problem, why is it then possible to turn off on
the Charge HR ??

As of how exactly it turns the Blaze on at night, i don´t really know, as i
am sleeping, but other people write that even striking the sheets with the
Blaze will turn the screen on ?
I can see, when i play with that faulty nag-feature right now, that it is
not ONLY 2 fast taps that turn on the screen!
It also sometimes turn on by 2 taps within about 3 seconds, and even just
by touching it once for about 2 seconds, and in the last case it stay
turned on for about 30 seconds!

I sleep, as many other also mention who also has this problem, with my
hands close to my head...

This i can´t change, but fitbit can give the Blaze the same options as the
much cheaper Charge HR!!

Funny that Fitbit have no idea how the Blaze actually act when used!!

It would be really eazy to fix, just by adding the same feature to the
blaze, as also is pressent on the Charge HR

FITBIT, correct this faulty pice of .... or pull it off the marked now!

[Rich_Laue]

Is it faulty or a feature your refferring to as being defective.

As for the Double tap menu option on the Charge 2, this was added as a feature request, and allows the user to choose what stat they would like to see.I guess somebody thought that the option to disable would be also nice to have.

If you set the brightness to dim does it still wake you up? Some have said the Blaze is so bright that it lights up the room as the sun shines in at noone, is this also the case for you?

It's 3pm and i need to take a nap before work.

[PeterSD]

Yes i know that, but you cant turn off tap view, as you can on the Charge
HR!

[PeterSD]

Still, you cant turn off tap view as on charge hr

[Tammy1105]

I agree,  I believe the option was it an afterthought.  I turned off all notifications while watching a movie because my phone would not stop ringing or someone would send a text.  Every other time I would still get a notification though it would be from the week before. 😜😜😜

[PeterSD]

There are allready feature request with many votes to make an option to
turn all light off at night, but fitbit are not taking all those votes
serious it seems!!!

If a feature is wanted on eg. the Charge HR, why is fitbit tjen so
incredible arrogant to think the same option should not be avalible on the
blaze??
That make no sense at all!!

I have stopped using the blaze!
The blaze will make people sick without the option to turn off tap feature!!

Fitbit need to fix this, or pull the blaze off the marked!
