There is no keypad on it for on thing. I think it would be more than a software upgrade.

 

Getting the text messages already drains the battery adding more will make it drain faster

I get similar battery life on my Pebble 2 as I do on my Blaze .... and the Pebble offers a reply function.  No keyboard is required, the idea of replying to a notification on the Pebble is via pre-stored messages.  Works rather well as far as i've tried it (and notifications are definitely better on the Pebble than the Blaze, hope some of the acquisition will help the fitbit products).

A warm welcome to the Community @Trumanquanbeck, @dorketh it's great to see you around and @WendyB thanks for stopping by. 

 

I think it would be great to have an option like this, please check the Preloaded quick text reply on Blaze request, vote for it and leave your comment. I hope this can be implemented.

 

Catch you later. Woman Happy
