Get started
Welcome to Fitbit Blaze, the smart fitness watch that helps you meet your fitness
goals in style. Take a moment to review our complete safety information at
fitbit.com/safety.
What's in the box
Your Blaze box includes:
Tracker Charging cable
The detachable bands on Blaze come in a variety of colors and materials, sold
separately.
Charge your tracker
A fully-charged Blaze has a battery life of up to 5 days. Battery life and charge
cycles vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.
To charge Blaze:
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, or a UL-certified
USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
5

2. Remove the tracker from the wristband. To do so, turn the wristband over and
push the screen gently so that it detaches from the frame.
3. Put the tracker inside the charging cradle with the screen facing towards you.
The four gold prongs should be aligned.
4. Close the cradle cover. When your tracker is securely in the cradle, a large
battery icon appears to let you know charging has started.
Charging fully takes 1 to 2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can check the clock
by tapping the screen, use notifications, and control music. A bright battery icon in
the top left of the screen shows the battery level. You can also check battery level
while charging by opening then closing the cradle cover to see a larger icon.

Set up with your phone
Set up Blaze with the Fitbit app for iPhones and iPads or Android phones. The Fitbit
app is compatible with most popular phones and tablets. For more information, see
fitbit.com/devices.
To get started:
1. Download the Fitbit app:
lApple App Store for iPhones
lGoogle Play Store for Android phones
2. Install the app, and open it.
lIf you already have a Fitbit account, log in to your account > tap the
Today tab > your profile picture > Set Up a Device.
lIf you don't have a Fitbit account, tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a
series of questions to create a Fitbit account.
3. Continue to follow the on-screen instructions to connect Blaze to your
account.
When you're done with setup, read through the guide to learn more about your new
tracker and then explore the Fitbit app.
For more information, see help.fitbit.com.

and water, participate in challenges, and more.

Wear Blaze
PlaceBlaze around your wrist. If you purchased another band, see the instructions
in "Change the band" on the facing page.
Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
When you're not exercising, wear Blaze a finger's width above your wristbone.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
lDuring a workout, experiment with wearing the device higher on your wrist (3
finger widths)for an improved fit. Many exercises such as bike riding or
weight lifting cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which could interfere
with the heart-rate signal if the watch is lower on your wrist.
8

lWear your Fitbit device on top of your wrist, and make sure the back of the
device is in contact with your skin.
lConsider tightening your band before a workout and loosening it when you’re
done. The band should be snug but not constricting (a tight band restricts
blood flow, potentially affecting the heart-rate signal).
Handedness
For greater accuracy, you must specify whether you wear Blaze on your dominant
or non-dominant hand. Your dominant hand is the one you use for writing and
eating. To start, the Wrist setting is set to non-dominant. If you wear Blaze on your
dominant hand, change the Wrist setting in the Fitbit app:
From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap your profile picture >Blaze tile
>Wrist >Dominant.
Change the band
The wristband has two separate bands (top and bottom) that you can swap with
accessory bands sold separately.

Remove a band
1. Place Blaze face down on a flat, smooth surface and find the two band
removal switches—there’s one on each end where the band meets the frame
2. To unlock the switch, use the tip of your finger or nail to gently slide the switch
to the opposite end, then pull the band away from the frame.
3. Repeat on the other side.
Attach a new band
Before you attach a new wristband, first identify the top and bottom bands. The top
band has a watch buckle at the end of it. The bottom band has notches.
To attach the band:
1. Place your Blaze face down. When it is face down, two buttons are on the left
and a single button is on the right.
2. Find the pin opposite the removal switch, and slide it into the hole in the
frame.
3. Pull the switch while sliding the band into place then release it to lock the
band into the frame.
