Clock Faces Information Post

[EmersonFitbit]

Hey everyone! 

Now that Blaze is finding its way into the hand of our users, we thought we'd provide a bit more information regarding clock faces, and how you can interact with your Blaze in different ways! Here's the run down of the four default clock faces: 

Original: 

The time is shown in analog format using an hour-hand and minute-hand. Those dots that go around the circumference of the watch area indicate minutes of the hour. The step icon at the top of the screen is the primary statistic, which is displayed in the progress dial as well (the circle surrounding the clock). The icon at the bottom of the clock is your stat cycle, where you can tap the display to cycle through all of your primary stats for the day as well. 

Flare:

Flare consists of 3 main elements: time, date, and activity level. The Flare on the outside will follow the current minutes to the hour while also displaying the activity for the hour. The more you move in the hour, the further out the Flare will extent. Click here for more details.

Zone: 

This clock shows the time over a color-changing background that corresponds to your heart rate. The HR Stat, HR zone and date can be toggled with this clock face, meaning you can cycle through and see what you want to see.

Pop: 

With Pop, your clock-face will consist of 4 main elements: time, steps, HR, and calories. While your heart rate icon on this screen does not indicate HR zone (the HR circle is always full), both the steps and calories statistic will update to be reflective of your step/calorie burn goal for the day!

We hope this helps. As always, questions and feedback are welcome and appreciated. If you'd like to see new clock faces (or changes to existing ones), please add your vote/comments to this Feature Request with specific changes you'd like to see.

People complaining about wanting more clock faces are coming across as whiny little girls.

Why did you buy the device? It's a tracker - and a very good one - not some android wear tat.

Return the device or please just STFU.

I see one department of Fitbit has a choice, design a watch face or two, release the firmware update this week. Another department is working on an update to stability, so they'll release a spyware update next week. Then there is the carrier to have the display stay on, a calculator, etsc. Each one requires a firmware update. Do you want Fitbit to release all there firmware updates individually or in a batch. Personally I don't want to be spending time every week updating the Blaze, and would like the updates done in batches. So far all the updates have been behind the scenes, fine tuning current features some of these include accuracy, the problems with syncing, and quick view.

I was wondering if any of you computer geniuses can make kind of an unofficial software to install over the original one.. Like cydia for iOS to be clear.. 🤔 I've been surfing the web for it but I found nothing..

[Rich_Laue]

The open source community has already done this. It's a python program for Linux called Galileo. It syncs very nicely, but is a pain, not impossible to set up the tracker with.

An app... Why not create an app so we can customize and create our oun customizable face??

Hey all! Please remember that the primary rule of your Community Guidelines is to be considerate. I'm certain that we can have a conversation on this topic without resorting to personal attacks and namecalling. 

I promise that the interest in additional clock faces has been heard, and I assure you that we will post more information on that subject in this thread as soon as it is available. I definitely understand how hard it can be to patiently wait for news, and I appreciate those who continue to make this a productive conversation. You will be the first to know as soon as there is something to know!

Clock faces for users who need reading glasses, must be thousands in this category !

[Texas_Pearl]

I agree, it seems they could do one update per month, or something like that, and have several things batched together.

Hey everyone, good news!

The feature request More Watch Faces For Blaze has been marked 'Under Consideration'. You might be asking yourself, "so what does that mean?" Well, this means our developers are evaluating how they might implement this feature in a future firmware release. As usual, I'll share updates if I come across any new information. Thanks for the continued interest/feedback!

[HarleyRob66]

How about doing the intelligent thing and satisfy at least half your
clients, and AND FIX THE CLOCK FACES WE CURRENTLY HAVE FIRST! just a
thought, I had while in the bathroom taking a Blaze.

[Bseven7]

Has anyone found that some faces freeze?

[Fitbhit]

Thanks for the update Andrew, hopefully we will see something soon

[Fands]

thanks Andrew--if you have any more news about WHEN that would be great.  "evaluating how they MIGHT implement" is not anything firm....

every time I interact with customer service, i mention the current clockface that has the numbers chopped at the bottom and ask for other faces also.

[Darrendaz]

Keep the original 4 Need more clock faces or Change them every month

[Photogphil]

Is there any way to display the time in 24hr format ?

[Rich_Laue]

Of course, go to you profole setting and switch it to 24 hours. From fitbit.com click on the settings gear, then settings.

Rich, 

Thanks for that, it worked a treat .I had only looked at the settings in the app not on line so missed it .

When will a firmware update come out with more watch face options? I really love the blaze as its more simplistic and user friendly than the Garmin I had, but more watch face options would be terrific.

@Sdgpnj712

Hopefully soon, would love to get some more watch faces or even the option to customize them with weather or something.
