With my Charge HR I had only to press and hold the button to start exercise - I could do that through the sleeve of my jacket. 

 

With the Blaze it is much harder - I have to roll up the sleeve of my jacket, then do a combination of taps to get to the right place. I can't do this quickly or discreetly.


Can we have that press button to start exercise feature for the Blaze, please?

Hey there @falconea. Good to see you in the Community! 🙂

 

I'd recommend going to the Feature Request board to see if there is already an existing suggestion and if there is not, for you to share yours. That way, other users with the same suggestion will be able to vote for it and the more votes it gets, the more chances for this to be reviewed by our team.

 

Any question you may have, let me know. I'll be glad to help!

I have added it to the feature request board. 

 

This is not a solution though - anyone have a faster way of starting an exercise?

I don't know of a faster way. Putting the Charge in tracking mode would then track your run/walk as a workout, where as on the Blaze the choice of what type of workout can be chosen ahead.

What I think you are asking for is a quick start button. It would be nice if this could be customized to a specific type of workout, let's say when ypu press this put my Blaze in tracking of a run, but when I press this I want it to go into Hike.
