Time, steps and floor count on one watch face

[honglong1976]

I came to a Blaze again from a Charge 2 and I loved the fact that steps and stairs could be show with the time.

Unfortunately, with all the watch faces for the blaze there is no customisation on the watch faces like the Charge 2 and where the Charge 2 shows a battery percentage, the Blaze does not.

Or am I missing something?

thanks 🙂

Hello @honglong1976 the charge 2 has eleven clock faces and the Blaze has 12.I don't think this is the problem since none of the Charge 2 faces show the battery level.. There is an optional battery menu that does have their percentsge, yes the blaze does not have this but does show the battery level as a gauge which I find more than accurate considering that I still get 5-6 days

Thanks for replying.

On the Charge 2 there was a watchface which could be customised to show all the various stats. I used to have steps and stairs on one then once tapped, activity mins and move goal. Perfect.

On the Blaze, while it does have more watch faces, most are brilliant!

- Arc is ok for showing stats but it's fairly basic.

- Multistat - Looks ok but pink text?

- Moment is the best for me but it's not customisable. I would love to show stairs where the HR rate is.

- Original looks great on all the promo material but i wish the background was just black

It's always tricky making a watchface everyone likes, but allowing customisation like the charge 2 watch faces would be great!

Percentage is much better as 10% or 40% you know how much is left. On the blaze half can mean any number of percentages. If it showed percentage (even via the menus like the charge 2) it would be a better indicator of approx battery life. It feels like guess work at the moment.

I ended up taking the blaze back to the shop and exchanging for the Charge 2. I like the blaze but it didn't add anything over the Charge 2 except notifications.

Charge 2:

1. battery percentage displayed (rather than an inacurate bar)

2. stairs/steps available with the time (watch faces simple but functional)

3. vibration is better

4. Metal case

5. acrylic/plastic screen but when scratched it can be polished out with autosol or polywatch

6. better form factor and much more comfortable to wear

I forgot to add, I have an Apple Watch too so the Blaze was not really needed.

@Rich_Laue

Battery gauge accurate?

On the charge it shows as medium battery life in the web dashboard and iOS app. On the Charge 2 it shows as 71%. Battery percentage is obviously more accurate!

On the Blaze it would show Low for 3 days. Pretty useless to be honest!

The app is only going to show the level during the last sync. My point, is there really a need to have the level to this accuraccy? Simply put the tracker on its charger when the email comed.
