Left handed use causes pausing of activities

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I've been using my Fitbit Blaze since summer 2016, and this issue has annoyed me for quite some time. I'm left-handed, and I'm used to wearing watches at my left hand.

 

With the Fitbit Blaze this often causes activities to pause and/or end, as the two left function buttons that are used for pause and stop keeps hitting my wrist when I'm working out. The right function button is disabled when an activity is selected, so I assume this is taken into consideration for right handed wearers.

 

Are there any workaround for this apart from moving the Blaze over to my right hand?

 

Would be nicte to have a feature that would use the right function button to lock the two left function buttons (or something similar), as this would resolve the issue for me, and hopefully other left handed wearers as well.

The Blaze should have one button on the left and two buttons on the right.

The best I can say is to add your vote and a constructive comment.

I also feel the button placement on the Blaze is really rubbish. Whoever decided to put the pause button on the side has clearly NEVER used such a device (no surprise there then)

I find at least 1 time in ten, and more so when the colder weather gets here and I wear long sleeves, my clothing causes the tracker to stop.

I'd never buy another Fitbit, as far as I am concerned they are not yet fit for purpose
