I'm having difficulty activating this. I can try it slowly or quickly and nothing happens then randomly later it will work. I've read on here about changing settings and wearing it but no idea what they are! Can someone please inform me

@SunsetRunner let's see if i can helo. 

If you take the blaze off the arm and place it in the table.. Lift up the far end, bringing it as if standing on the edge.. The display should turn in. 

 

Ok let's bring this movement to the arm.. Bring the arm up to your face level, make it horizontal with the watch facing upwards. Now twist the wrist so your looking at the display. It should now be on. 

 

Oh that seems to be an awkward movement, yes but this is sort of what the Blaze is looking for, at least kind of. 

I find i can bring my arm up and twist the worst at the same tome, the key is to do the twist when the arm is closer to horizontal than vertical. 

OR think vertical as zero, horizontal as ninety, fishbowl as forty five. Start the wrist twist when the arm is at fifty or more degrees as your arm is coming up.

What Blaze really needs is a setting based on user preference. It is awkward, really really wish it would turn on with a small wrist flick while typing at keyboard all day, like my smart watch. 

Aria, Fitbit MobileTrack on iOS. Previous: Flex, Force, Surge, Blaze

I find i do not need any strange flick, just had to modify a little, the way i would have lift my arm. 

The strange thing is that when I'm outside i need to wait 3+ seconds for the screen brightness to adjust. Fortunately this adjustment delay is only for the first time i raise my arm.

Am I the only person who gets annoyed wirh the quick view not waking up when I flick my wrist round to look? This happens most when lying down but also when sitting and at other times. I have to very deliberately make the motion often or even use my other hand to press the side button.
I feel the sensitivity could be adjusted as this is one of my main issues with the Blaze.
