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.

To get to the music control during exercise you hold the top right button until the music control screen appears. When done with using the music control hit the single left button to take you back to the exercise. Currently no company includes any documentation with their products. They have a link in their support page to download the product manual.

@BMerritt as @KiloLima64 States we have an excellent online interative manual in the help section.. Scroll to the bottom of this page and tap help, from here you can browse, tap the picture of the tracker, or type in a few words.. Do you want to know about exercise, type ex resize into the help bar. You can download the manual and go through the Blaze101. This is what that red banner was pointing to.

As for the zone face, I would expect it to change with the different zones.. Let's go to the help again and type in zone.. We will find an article on heart rate data

As all the other requests.

I would like to see a straight forward digital date and time please.

None of the faces at present cannot seriously be shown in a business field. They are all just too silly. I'd get laughed at checking the time if in a meeting. I just imagine the apple watch brigade sniggering at my cartoon clock face.

If my Surge wasn't so prone to every problem under the sun, I would definitely be staying with that.

How about bring over the surge watch faces as a immediate fix?

Can any of the mods give us some inside community feedback if anything is in the pipeline?

At the moment I think we'll be still looking at 4 watch face options in 12 months!

[Fredgold]

How about one watch face that is more for men. These colors are very feminine!

[Rich_Laue]

I would love to see a true analog face with second hand. The day, date, and a choice of what star to display.

[SunsetRunner]

Any inside news from a fitbit mod? No telling us to reach out etc..

@loriwass I recommend checking out our Feature Request board for an existing idea similar to yours or taking the initiative to create your own idea in the board. Hope to see your vote or idea soon!

@Malek.Karare @MrRHood13 @billbishere @ajefri @Fands @SunsetRunner @SunsetRunner @Fredgold @Rich_Laue Thank you for your feedback! I will make sure to pass it along as we're always looking for ways to improve our products/services and take our user feedback into consideration.

As @AndrewFitbit said here, the idea of more clock faces for Blaze is under consideration.

@Mameab I recommend confirming that your timezone settings are properly setup here under "Time."

@BMerritt The warmer the color gets, the higher your heart rate. I can't answer your question exactly with specific ranges but hope that helps.

As @KiloLima64 said, to get the music control settings while your Blaze is in an activity mode, do the following:

• Press and hold the ACTION button.

Interested to see what you got from garmin and how it compares? That is if you ever look at this post again?

[Tnperona]

Is there any way to change what is shown on the top screen? For example showing steps miles and activity minutes as opposed to steps heart rate and calories?

[Tnperona]

Sorry..."pop" screen, not top screen.

No there is not.

[Fredgold]

You hit the nail on the head! Why are there no changes being made to this watch?

@Malek.Karare @MrRHood13 @billbishere @ajefri @Fands @4thMesa @wkel24 @Fredgold @Rich_Laue Thank you for your feedback! I will make sure to pass it along as we're always looking for ways to improve our products/services and take our user feedback into consideration.


Very vague reply. Is the feedback for consideration relevant to the fitbit blaze? Or the next generation of models? What's the fitbit development plan on updating current models?

[Fands]

and i read that Pebble has published their algorithms.

I agree--Pebble time with the HR monitor and thousands of watch faces via an app--will be front and center for the holidays.

usually once something hits QVC--selling mass quantitites, like last weekend--it means that that they are getting rid of it, kiss of death--  that's just my opinion and of course time will tell--but i am really annoyed to keep being asked, did you do this, restart your watch, calculate the stride ,moveto this message carrier, it does not work with the newest samsung phone, etc--WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO??? I paid $200.00 for this--it is fitbit's responsibility to make it work correctly/seamlessly--not mine.

i do not feel that the Blaze is anything special--except in looks--but fitbit is losing a lot of customers that are more than annoyed with the functionality and the look of the faces--they could and should do something--but instead they pawn off lines like "we are working on it" thanks for your patience, and the grand-daddy of all BS--regarding the chopped off numbers on the Pop face "it is designed to look that way".  also the ludacris remarks that using non-fitbit , i.e. overpriced accessories voids the warranty--i am turning off my subscriptions to these posts--because there is no valuable information.

From what I have read into the forerunner fr235 is aimed for running

Is it possible to log elliptical, walking and strength training through the "other" training entry?

And how's the bluetooth connection with your phone with the 235?

I tried a vivoactive hr after problems with my surge but i didn't give it chance tbh.

On the blaze now which to be honest looks and works fine, except the ridiculous watch faces.

[Malek.Karare]

just resync it to your device, also make sure devices time is correct and
you have a sloid internet connection.

[KiloLima64]

If you look on Amazon there are lots of reasonably priced accessories.

[Jorginav]

Can seconds be added to the clock faces?

[dorothyb]

I would love to be able to change the watch face without having to change it in the app and then sync my blaze with the app (takes several minutes!)
