More notifications are here!
You can now receive notifications from email and other apps on your Blaze! Common emojis are also supported. Please keep in mind that you will need to have the latest Fitbit app version as well as the latest Blaze firmware update (17.8.301.7).
Using Notifications:
When you receive a notification, your Fitbit Blaze vibrates. Depending on the type of notification and your mobile device's operating system, the following information may appear on your screen:
Keep in mind your tracker can only display notifications from third-party apps if you already receive notifications from these apps on your paired iOS or Android mobile device. Make sure notifications are turned on for these apps in your mobile device's settings, and in your Blaze's device settings.
You can see all your notifications by swiping up from the home screen. You'll see previous calls, texts, calendar, email, and app notifications as well. You may delete these notifications either individually by swiping right, or all at once by scrolling down and tapping "Clear All" on the display.
For detailed information and setup instructions, check out our help page about notifications.

@AndrewFitbit Is there a complete list of apps that are covered under the new notifications? And I do not yet see Instagram on my Fitbit app. Is that because I have not received a notification yet from Instagram after doing the update?

Looks like almost any app you have, I clicked on the "app notification" and every single app I have is listed there, if this works as intended it is beautiful.
One question though, is there a silent period that can be set here so my American Airlines (or any other) reminder won't wake me up with a vibration at 2am?

I believe you will need to wait for the next time the app sends a notification.

That's what I thought as well. Loving the new clock faces. I aminly bought this primarily for text notifications the day it was released but this makes $200 watch an even better deal than it already is. Almost bought a Pebble Time until I found it doesn't work that well with iPhones

So far I've gotten Facebook and Gmail. Both flawless.

I was able to update and change the clock face, but when going to add app notifications, no apps are available in the list to add. I'm guessing this is a glitch?

For the App Notification, it's not recognizing Facebook or any of the e-mail (Yahoo/Gmail) apps. I verified the notications were set correctly on my iPhone and in the Fitbit app. So far it's only found the Fitbit and Instagram apps.

Your are able to sense the vibration alert so well that it wakes you up?? That's pretty good. Many of us, myself included, feel nothing or next to nothing. You must have a special edition LOL, or very sensitive nerves in your wrist. Something to research either way. 🙂

So, with the new update on Blaze, will we able to get e-mail notifications from GMAIL, for example?
Thanks

Sorry that I did not read the other messages.
So then, it seems that yes, we can get GMAIL notifications.
