I reall think about buying the Fitbit Blaze Gunmetal,
my only concern is how the gunmetal frame acts to scratches
will they remain black or is the gunmetal only paint and the scratches are silver/metal?

I would expect it to hold up, that's the reason the gun metal is more money.. The process to apply a durable coat is expensive.
I really don't expect the third party colored frames to hold up.

Hi there @Nidary. Good to see you around.
I totally agree with what @Rich_Laue says. Just to add to that, the Blaze in gunmetal's stainless steel frame must undergo a premium plating process. The plating process uses physical vapor deposition (PVD) rather than less expensive electroplating which should be more resistent to scratches.

Good to see you around @pierrotsc.
It's only the frame that comes in gunmetal finish. The Module itself is plastic.
Let us know if you have any more questions.

I've owned the Blaze Gunmetal for a few weeks and already it's somehow got some scratches on the frame 😞
The scratches are silver and are very noticeable against the black. I'm really quite disappointed with it since I'm very careful with it. I was expecting it to be a lot more durable.

So far I haven't gotten any scratches on mine and I've bumped it a few times on stuff.

@FerdinandFitbit I can see in the pictures that the buckle is also black, is that gunmetal finish too? Thus just as durable?

Good to see you back @TheAcornWarrior!
To answer your question, yes, both the buckle and the frame are made of the same material and process. You can see the details here and see the image below for material specs.
Hope this helps!

@FerdinandFitbit, yes it helps, just doesn't tell me how durable or scratch resistant it is. I already know that fitbit doesn't just replace the band if you have issue with it, they would need to replace the entire tracker! I just dont understand why the company wont sell the frame and band without the tracker.

Hmmm... that's strange @TheAcornWarrior. If your band gets damaged and you're under warranty, they should be able to replace just the band as you can detach it from the frame. Now, if you have problems with just the electronic module, a replacement for that will be sent.
The Gunmetal frame and bucke are expected to be scratch resistant but if you come across any problem with it, you can get in touch with our Support Team for them to help you out and get you back on track!
Anything else, I'm here to help!

@FerdinandFitbit, i asked support person about that. Cause I just want the frame and band. (I already own a blaze, and don't want a whole new tracker just for the band and frame) When inquiring about it, they said they have to replace the whole thing. They can't just send out the band and frame. You can check on that if you wish, but thats what they told me. Needless to say, I haven't bought it.
