Please add a screen lock feature

[beatadeuel]

Hi,

I've been using my Fitbit Blaze for about 2 months now and love it!  The only problem I'm having is when I go to kickboxing and have gloves on, the gloves will rub on the screen and sometimes it pauses and saves my workout without me knowing.  Is there a way that you could add a screen lock option using the single button on the left side of the watch?

Happened to me last night for the first time as I wore long sleeves for Volleyball.  Had a workout paused and finsihed without knowing it, ended up rolling up my sleeve on that side to prevent it, this addition would be nice.

Welcome to the Community @beatadeuel. I agree with you and @racertempo and recommend sharing this suggestion at our Ideas Board, which our product development teams consult regularly to ensure we're delivering on what our customers need and want. Please take a moment to visit and give us your feedback. 

Keep the stepping up!

Look here for the lock screen siggestion.

Some of the comments I have read are over a year old, why has this not been fixed yet? I really enjoy my blaze except for two things:my workouts keep getting paused and it doesn't track my sleep correctly. Please fix this!

You'll need to ask the Fitbit developers this question, this is a community of fitbit users helping out their fellow Fitbit users with their hardware problems. We have as much insight in the internal workings of Fitbit as you do.

Soooooo frustrating. On track for a pb and it starts raining at which point my session is stopped, saved and 2 more segments are created stopped and saved. 

Please create the screen lock. It's not that hard to code in simultaneous pressing of one button on both sides of the blaze. 

this one feature would reduce the risk of my blaze being replaced by another brand. 

Thankyou

Hello @Bonbeach, did you add your vote and comment to the thread i pointed to above? It is the Feature Suggestion board where the developers look. The Community forums are where Fitbit users help each other out. 

We as Fitbit users will be glad to help out when we can,, but to reprogram the Blaze is a little past what a typical Fitbit user is able to do.

Hi Rich - I have now - thanks for the redirect 🙂

Isn't this for the Surge?  Does it apply to the Blaze?

[Yellop]

I didn't find a solution in the link? 

[Rich_Laue]

The solution as explained is to add your vote to the suggestion. 

Since then this feature was sort of rekeased on the ionic and versa.

Exactly the same issue here! The suggested workaround is for the Surge...anything Kong for the Blaze?

[JennB17]

Sorry newbie...not sure how to edit that comment. Also not sure where "kong" came from! :smileyembarrassed

Thank you, but unfortunately not one of my drop down options. 😕
