Watch faces

[hawkyou]

The Alta was released with 10 different watch faces and the Blaze only gets four. Who's the brainiac behind this thought process?

Hopefully they'll relase more. Blaze needs more frames (other than stop sign shape) and hundereds of different combinations of watch faces. They'll increase the value of the product 10 fold.

You sound like it was the same team to develop both units.

[hawkyou]

Who cares what team designed it.

10 different faces?  huh, what am I missing?  I don't see any real faces for the alta, just black and white data like the Charge and HR.  So what are these 10 faces, anyone have a link?

@racertempo - I think they are referring to this: (Just different formats)

That is what I was thinking......sorry, but that is 99.9999% different than the Blaze faces, and probably vastly different design and implementation.  I'll take the 4 blaze faces 100% of the time over a black and white clock with different arrangements of the numbers.

Not much different other than color and size of screen.  Must be the size of the screen that gave the Alta the inactivity reminder feature also.

@racertempo  I agree - I like the Blaze screen WAY better.  Would I like more watch faces?  Sure.  But I am content with the ones they currently have which is a lot better than my Charge has.

[racertempo]

It is a lot different than the Alta, more so than just color and size.....but it is certinly a personal preference thing.  The Blaze actually looks like a real watch, not just a rubber fitness tracker, which is what I always hated about the ChargeHR.  The Alta is a minor step in the right direction in terms of looks, but it looks too much like a womens piece of jewlery and not a watch IMO.  But again, just my opinion.  The original post though critized fitbit for having "10 watch faces" for the Alta while the Blaze had only 4 faces, The Alta really only has one face and one font, oh, but one has a digital looking flower 🙂

Don't forget the inactivity reminder.

[Kmransom123]

@hawkyou - Agreed!  Hopefully now that the Alta is out, they will push this update out to our Blazes.

I don't need a watch to remind me to move.

Don't forget; we're still using the Community as a vessel for communicating customer feedback! Here's the appropriate Feature Request link. 

I'm actually really excited for Reminders to Move on Blaze, when they get here!

[hawkyou]

but you need an activity tracker. Makes sense.

[racertempo]

The blaze does have an activity tracker, and it is automatic based on parameters you set for walks/runs, etc.  Is there a tracker on the Alta that you are referring to that the blaze does not have.....or just the reminder?
