I'm left handed. So should I set my Blaze on dominant or non-dominant if I wear it on my left hand. The handedness selection is now missing. You can only choose dominant or non-dominant. What should I choose? Please help. 😊

@Shush  If you are left handed, then your left wrist would be "Dominant".  If you decide to wear on your right side, change to non-dominant.

 

Hope that helps~

Welcome to the Forums @Shush and @Kmransom123 thanks for stopping by.

 

As suggested, if your dominant hand is the left, you should wear your tracker on your dominant hand and set it on your Dashboard this way. Now if you prefer to wear on your right hand you should set it in non dominant.

 

Catch you later. Woman Happy

Did you get any helpful answers? I'm also left handed. I wear my Blaze on my left hand and have it set as my dominant hand in the settings. But the manual states something about a handedness setting that I cannot find. Is the dominant setting replacing that setting?

Hi. I didn't get any useful answers really. I also read somewhere that the handedness in the Fitbit software was automatically set the right hand as the dominant. I was trying to get clarification on that but I haven't so far. I'm still wearing it on my left with it set to dominant.
