Wearing Blaze on right arm.

I am left handed and thinking of getting a Blaze. I would be wearing it on my right arm. Would the buttons be backwards in doing so? Can the unit be flipped over?

My first thought would be appose to the wrong arm? I'm not sure what makes a watch with only pushbuttons backwards, ie: no winding stem. The Back button will now be pressed with which ever finger wpuld normally be pressing the select and actuon button, then vice-versa for these two.
As for wearing upside down, so would the display be, amd quick view won't work.

The bigger qiestion is which setting to place the dominant mode in? Or how much do you use your right hand? I'm lefthanded but do many things favoring one, the other, or which ever hand feels more comfortable at the time. I found at times the non-dominant with either arm gives to many false steps. I compared the c ount to my one.

I am left handed and wear the Blaze on my right arm and do not find the buttons awkward at all.

Hi there--I just got my Blaze yesterday.  I'm also left-handed, and wear it on my right arm.  As far as I can tell, it can't be flipped around.  There doesn't appear to be anything in the settings (like there is for a Fitbit One) for left v. right-handed wear.  So when I'm wearing mine, the single button side faces towards my hand and the two button side faces toward my shoulder.  It seems fine though, and not awkward to use the buttons.  As I said, I've only had it for a day, but so far so good.

Thanks for the info! Longtime flex wearer probably will be upgrading soon.
