New "Relax" feature on Blaze

[Maverick2505]

When will the "Relax" feature (guided breathing experience) announced on Fitbit Charge 2 be available on Fitbit Blaze? 

[Julia_G]

Fitbit have not announced that that feature will be coming to the Blaze.  Currently it is announced only for the Charge 2.  I can tell you I have tried it, and I absolutely LOVE it, so I think it would be great if it were available on the Blaze too.  

Why not make a suggestion on the features request forum?  People can vote for your request and make comments there.  (Of course, always check first in case someone else has already requested this to avoid duplicates.)

That will help Fitbit see how popular the idea is.

Apple have just jumped on the relax and breath feature by adding it to the new apple watch, at least fitbit got there first

Yup, and it's part of the new Watch OS, meaning EVERY Apple watch owner gets it from day 1.  The Blaze just became an antique, Oh and its waterproof.

Whoa, not so fast... Apple announced the Breathe feature almost 3 months ago on June 20th and its been available to anyone with a paid developer account for awhile.

Hello @Maverick2505, @wxman123 and @Mikeyb50🙂 hope you are having a very active day! As @Julia_G mentioned this new feature is only available for the Charge 2, also I found the idea: 
Guided breathing sessions on Blaze on the Feature Request forums. Take a moment to vote for it since the more votes it gets more opportunities it has to be noticed by our developers. @bbarrera and @Julia_G thanks for your cooperation! 🙂 

I'll be around if you have any questions!

Would love to see this feature on the Blaze, but would like to be able to customize the length of time.  We get Wellness Rewards with our Company Health App for completing specific activites and Daily Meditation is one of them so guided breathing as a loggable activity would count as working towards that goal.

[Julia_G]

Hi, @DblGee, although the Relax feature is available on the Charge 2, it is not currently a loggable feature.  I agree it would be great if it could be -- then you could have a record of when you used the feature, and maybe even a record of your heartrate, so that you could see if you were able to slow down your HR as you relaxed.  I think that would be great!

Be sure to vote for the feature request linked to above, and add your comment about making it loggable.

Seems odd we pay $200 for the Blaze and find it is feature poor compared to lesser priced models. 

[Rich_Laue]

@Pollard1948 not really that odd, the Blaze was introduced more than 6 months before the newer 2 models came out.

[Julia_G]

@Pollard1948, an update is due any day which will bring the relax feature to the Blaze. It was announced for February, but it seems has been a little delayed.  But it should be with us all soon!

I just downloaded the Blaze manual online and it includes instructions on the relax feature. Since my Blaze doesn't have it I was prompted to check the forums. Hopefully the fact that it is explained in the manual that means it will be coming soon

I got my new Blaze yesterday. When I set it up it did an update and I have the relax feature, as well as several more clock faces. My understanding is that Fitbit pushes out the updates in batches so everyone doesn't get them at the same time. Just know it's coming. Look for the update.

Hi @Lillian122

Is there any info regarding this new watchfaces? Or can you printscreen it? For me actual clockfaces are a bit boring. Full color device with such a usual design its something that i am not a big fan.

These are screen shots. All new faces for me. Hope these aren't the ones you already have.

It's now on the blaze
