Walking/Running + firmware

[dudalemon]

I have two questions that is bugging me.

When I go for walks, I tend to walk the first half then jog the second half of my journey.

The App gives me the option of "Run/Walk". If i select walk then start running will it automatically recognise or do i have to conclude the track then start with the "Run" mode?

Also, I can't seem to find how to update the firmware for my Blaze. I am using the Fitbit App for Windows 10. The instructions keep saying "menu then go to blah blah" But I am assuming they are talking about the Fitbit Connect.

Right now when I look at my device it says:

"Synced today etc

Versian 8.104.1"

Is this the correct version or do I need to update it? (Is it automatic?)

Hi there @dudalemon. Good to see you in the Forums. Welcome aboard! 🙂

For your first question, this is a good one. I'd say, it will be better if you divide the activities and first start tracking your walk, end that activity and start tracking the running activity. But, you can also do a test. One day, walk and run without changing the activity tracking on your Blaze and the next day, first track your walk and then your run and compare the results to see which is more accurate.

For your second question, that's exactly the version that you should have right now. Whenever an update comes out, you will see a pink banner on your dashboard letting you know that you need to update your tracker to the latest firmware version and it won't go away until you press on it and update it so you don't have to worry about updating your tracker right now.

Hope this helps and if you need anything else, let me know. I'll be glad to help. 😄
