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.

Warning: this is just a rant.

It really bugs me that Fitbit seems like it intentionally designed each clock face to have several deficiencies that could've resolved very very easily. Take for example the "Pop" face. I like the modern depiction of the time digitlly, and I like that I can see both my steps as well as my calorie burn compared to my daily goal. But why oh why couldn't they show the heart beat rate in that middle circle instead of the heart symbol that serves no purpose whatsoever?! Didn't one of the brilliant designers think for a second "hey, this heart symbol is pretty useless. Why don't we try to do something with it? Darn it, we can show the heartrate! This is brilliant since many people buy this watch specifically because it tracks their HR continuously!"

Alas, nobody made that recommendation.

I can go on like that on each face, but I think the point is clear. I bought this device thinking it's a great sport watch from a great company. I now realize it's just a very good tracker with a super large screen.

Hi, I've just noticed on the POP clock face, if you tap screen, you scroll through the specifics for steps/heart/calorie...

Hope that helps 👍

When are there going to be more clock faces available?

[KSimmarano]

I agree about a separate app or integrated platform to customize the watch face. Nothing crazy. Just some basic things like background color or picture, round face or digital and which stats to show. I like the idea someone posted about having the actual heart rate instead of just a heart symbol inside the icon on the watch face too.

[Dhywb]

Pop shows steps when you tap, tap again for heart and again for cals...

Is there any update/ETA on custom clock faces?

I mean I truly believe all the community wants is a clean clock face that displays the information that is needed.  

Can anyone from FitBit respond to this?

Thank you,

Vin

331 postings, the thread is 3 months old...the only glimmer of "might" comes from Andrew one of the moderators...over a week ago.
If you want an answer, customer service will at least respond, even if they direct you somewhere else.

@Fands if your interested in Andrews opinion you might want to tag him.

I think i know what he will say, but I'll let him speak for himself.

Would love to see more than just four watch faces for the blaze. A chronograph face and a world time classic face just be for starters would be great. Or give an option to download faces of your choice.

[Livernurse]

Hey are we going to get additional updates for the face choices on the clock. Would you be able to make it so that the solid dots on the original face be bold even when the steps go through them.

Hello there, 

Are you guys coming up with new Clock Face designs?

The ones that are available are not very provocative nor stylish. I can't really decide on one that I like.

If you need help with designs let me know, I have some pretty cool ideas for them...

Best, 

David S.

Can the Blaze clock display be set to "Always On" instead of it going off after 10 seconds and having to wake it back up to see the time?
Thanks...

No.

Feel free to add your vote / comment to @Duffym3 's suggestion on the Feature Requests subforum:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Requests/Blaze-screen-always-on/idi-p/1310512

The more votes increases the chance of the developers integrate the functionality.

I hope they eventually make more options...  I just want different watch faces for optiond, i have the ap for features and stats... i want choices on the actual watch!  Like an analog watch with numbers around it... etc.

[CDM1188]

Those are the 3 stats that the zone allows you to see. The only one that you can toggle through all of the stats is the original

[Pirate752001]

Please update the clocks. Maybe one with weather temp?

[Rich_Laue]

Did you vote for tge Clock faces @Pirate752001, link can be found above, there also is a request for a weather app.

[AWRANG34]

[audreykwunder]

I saw Fitbit is advertising this clock face again! Does this mean there are plans to make this available or is this another false advertisement? 

[Fands]
