I received a new firmware update (which downloaded and installed with no problems whatsoever) and then spent a few minutes poking around trying to figure out what changed. After finding no changes at all, I discovered that it was an update that had to do with iOS and had nothing to do with us Android users lol  --- Life goes on. Link here for an explanation of 17.8.301.8

It did add a new clock face for all users. I just switch to the "Ace" face.

THrre where two firmwares for the Blaze several months ago 301.7 and 301.8

301.7 added some features to the Blaxe, then Apple did an updaye to iOS and the Blaze stopped sync to iOS devices. 301.8 fixed this issue.

Im not sure which android update your refferring to? A lot of these updates are for stability new app features or to add more phones. Guidence was recently added to all phones.
