I've found this happening during my last couple of Bootcamps, esp during the sessions using the boxing gloves. How blimmin irritating....come on Fitbit!

Did you vote for the suggestion to be able to lock the buttons and screen, the link can be found on the previous page.

I have been enormously disappointed in the touch screen pause feature being bumped on and off. So much that I almost gave up and tossed it for the Apple Watch. I've recently come up with an idea that seems to fix it temporarily. Even though I think the screen/pause problem needs to be fixed via Fitbit upgrading their functions. The wristband idea was suggested somewhere on Fitbit forums and I took it further. Every time I used a wristband alone I still had pausing issues. So I used tape (duct and athletic) and secured a hard plastic Tupperware type lid, one that fit over the screen, to my wrist band by wrapping tape around it and the wristband. Then I wear the wristband over the blaze hard plastic side touching screen. Seems to work for now. But it will get sweaty and gross so it's not perfect. But at least I won't be stopping to scream at the Fitbit anymore. I got to the point where I would t even wear it to workout. And that was the primary reason I got it. Hope this fix help get some of you through til Fitbit gets their fix underway.

With no solution in sight I searched the internet and found a device that was created and able to print with a 3D printer. My son goes to Case Western Reserve Jniversity and was able to print me a 'cover' for the blaze screen. I'll be testing it out today. Here's to no workout interruptions and zero pausing.
My my last hope.
Too bad bad I can't post pics cause I would love to share.

Hi there! I have the same problem when doing kettlebell work or anything where my wrist is extended back like push ups. Did you find a band solution that helps keep the button from getting hit?

I had the exact same problem - Blaze pausing during kickboxing. It was such a problem I had to go back to the Charge HR during those workouts. I continued to juggle the two trackers until this past weekend when I ran a 5k and the only thing the Blaze recorded was the time. No calories, no avg pace, no distance.
Now I'm using a Samsung Gear Fit2. No issues whatsoever.

I thought my Blaze stopped recording my runs on several occasions. I finally was looking at it and it actually did a 'reboot'. This just started occurring the last 7 days.

Hi all. I am guessing that most can answer this but specifically to @_jpx_ 's posts, I am looking for a good Fitbit and kickboxing is about 1/3 of my workouts. Since I don't have a Blaze (just was handed a Charge HR), I have zero experience and wonder ... under what conditions does the Blaze pause the workout when tapped?
Specifically (I could be very wrong) there seems to be auto-detection workouts (tracked automatically) and multisport (which I think you need to start 'manually'). Is it just the latter that puts the Blaze into a 'simple tap and accidental pause'? Does this pausing issue happen in both workout modes? (again if there are two 😉 )? Thanks!

Despite Fitbit being aware of this issue for some time they just seem to ignore it. Another cycle ride ruined when the Fitbit paused its self, probably because the sleeve of my jacket rubbed the screen. They need a lock option, People keep asking me about this watch but I cant recommend it because of this problem. Fitbit come on your losing sales or dont you care about your customers??
