Learn about all the awesome
things your Fitbit Blaze can do!
Fitbit Blaze is water resistant, splash and sweat-proof, but is not swim-proof. It's important to keep any wearable device clean and dry, so we don't recommend showering with Fitbit Blaze.
To track heart rate, your band should lay flat, a finger’s width above your wrist bone.
For better readings during exercise, wear the band higher up on your wrist—about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone.
Fitbit Blaze will track your stats more accurately by knowing whether you’re right or left-handed. The default is set to right-handed, but you can adjust this in Handedness settings.
Clean your band and wrist regularly with a soap-free cleanser.
If your tracker gets wet, remove and dry completely.
Take your band off from time to time.
If you notice skin irritation, please remove your tracker. See our full Wear and Care Tips.
