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.

@Jorginav there is a feature request for adding seconds to the display. If you'd like to vote for it you can find it here:

No they cannot at this time.

It appears they can not to anything to the Clock faces.  I'm not even sure they are interested in doing anything to the clock faces.  The ones that have purchased the Blaze are stuck with what they got, and they will put their efforts into the next thing they try to sell.

Fitbit....a word of advice:

There are many choices in this market, you might want to prioritize this "clock face" issue a bit higher.

Many are not loyal to the "brand", you should be more responsive to such a large "outcry" from your users.

Still no update for the Blaze. Watch faces, reminder to move, etc. What a joke.

[AnnahMaria]

Fitbit remains quiet while hundreds wants more watch faces. They fasly advertised fake watch faces too (I got suckered with their fake ad)

Thinking about selling my blaze for a garmen

[Texas_Pearl]

i-watch looking much better.  I'm thinking that is the route I should have taken.

Thanks for moving my post for no reason to another thread. Have time to do this but don't have time to update the blaze.

[Rich_Laue]

Sorry @hawkyou the people moving threads is notdon't have anything to do with the developers,, our job is not to program but to help keep some as semblance of oranazation.
a for updates, there is a lot more that goes into them then most people are aware of. Sure Fitbit could throw out updates like a certain con prestige company that was mentioned in these forums, unfortunately Fitbit too would have the same disaster results.
For me I would rather see them take their time and get it right with the next update.
My feeling is the accuracy issues hold more weight than clock faces I would like to see the accuracy issue corected, then before released, additional features and faces, with some fine tuning of current faces added.

@dorothyb you might want to vote on this suggestion.

I love this thing. Only thing that would satisfy my nerdism even more are some DC or Marvel clock faces. Just think it would be cool to flip my bit and see the awesome batman symbol with a clock in the middle of it. Hopefully within the near future they can figure this one in.

[usapastime]

I have not heard any complaints about the other company, though!  Everyone speaks very highly of them!! There are just some basics that need to be considered before launching a watch and then saying we'll get it right with the next one.  I've had the Charge HR & now the Blaze & it's not been right with either!  So, how about if we get it right before we launch anything!!!

How about more clock faces?  These are not professional looking--- they look very teenager-ish.

Simple dgital, with black or dark blue background, steps and date (but not kidlike like the oversized letters or the orange background).

Or multiple analog faces that are easy to read (fitbit has had issues with us older users-- not bright enough or numbers that are too small).

My son got a pebble, and my next watch may be that-- because there aren't enough choices here.  Note, that it is NOT a hard thing to program!!

[Rich_Laue]

@ric_ko did you let the developers know your feelings by adding a comment and your vote to the feature request pointed out above? 

[KeepItMoving]

Being as expensive as this watch is ~250.00+ tax in Canada...I'd imagine the developers/programmers would come up with updates on more clock faces by now. What's the hold up?

[AEK1ng]

I've seen many posts & requests for additional, differing watch faces; specifically to include a second hand or count; other than the timer or stop watch options. Are optional watch faces in the work as many in the community have requested?

I just received my Blaze yesterday and I have to say that I'm disappointed by the fact that there are only 4 clock faces.  I was under the impression that there were a lot to choose from, but maybe I was thinking of the Apple Watch.  It would be great to have more options, and also to use more of the display with the digital time displays, which is my preferred time display.  Thanks in advance for providing additional clock faces!!!

Just got my Blaze.  the Pop clock face seems to cut-off the bottoms of the time numbers in the display - see photo.  Is this the way this clockface should look or might there be a problem with the display on my new Blaze? Thanks in advance.

[Dhywb]

Hi, the numbers are supposed to be cropped in Pop clock face.

Dave...

[Lou_R]

Thank you dave. I guess from the stock images posted (e.g. below) - it looked like they might be cropped a tiny bit but mine looked like halfway through the bottom segments of each numeral - if the image I posted above is correct, then I'm good (and will look forward to new alternate faces as indicated in recommendation threads)
