I wish Blaze has a seconds hand

[Kyle38]

Fitbit blaze. Wanted to track sleep etc. am a pilot and noticed the Fitbit lacks the very essence of the reason a watch was invented by humans in the first place... To tell time. Fitbit blaze does not have a second hand on the clock. There's no way around it. The watch is not a watch. Item returned. Big swing and a miss for Fitbit.

Agree with bbarrera.
It's perfectly reasonable to expect a seconds hand? Its a watch, not a smartwatch and a low quality fitness tracker!

I believe Fitbit eventually added seconds to watch face of Charge/ChargeHR, and I expect the same to happen with Blaze but you never know.

So check the store policies, buy something that looks good, and then start using it. Satisified? Keep it. Not? Return it.

I agree with the statement....on ANY product you buy.  I am not apologizing for Fitbit or anyone....if you want a second hand don't buy the Blaze, if you want waterproof, don't buy the blaze; however, missing either of these items does not mean it is not a "a watch".  It is a watch just like any other one without a second hand.  If that is your deal-breaker then absolutely return it, no problems.

I would not expect it....or frankly any other changes.  The percentage of sales of the Blaze coupled with the announcement of the Flex2 and the ChargeHR2 shows they are looking forward.  Maybe a Blaze2 will have different faces and a second hand, but I would be shocked to see it added to this version.

In last 3 years Fitbit has always been looking forward, but that didn't stop them from releasing a few feature additions. On Force it took about 9-10 months for an update that provided the promised call Notifications, but it did finally get released despite being on recall for 7 months.
