How to enable developer mode in Blaze Fitbit watch

[yuga]

Hi All

I am not a developer myself and need an urgent help. We are building a medical app which is supposed to be supported on Fitbit watch. We bought Fitbit Blaze watch. For certain features like Heart Rate and location API we need some development to be done on physical device. When I go in Settings of the watch, I do not see an option to enable developer's mode there. How can I get this done. Please help.

Am I missing anything? Does this need to be managed through my fitibit account or what? If it needs a developer's account to enable this feature in Blaze watch then where from can I register for developer's account?

Sorry @yuga, Fitbit has an open API which allows third parties to access a users data. You can get more info by clicking on the API link at the bottom of thd page.

Sonce your looking to develop something, ive moved your post to the developers forum

Fitbits don't run open operating systems like Android, so there's no on-device developer mode and no way to run custom software on the device itself.

It looks as if this will change with the Ionic.

ooo, that would be good! I'd hate to see Fitbit go the way of the classic Nokia phones (ie, good features but closed and inflexible architecture, so couldn't compete).
