To change watch face Fitbit Blaze, you must use the Fitbit mobile application on a paired smartphone or tablet. The older method of changing the clock face via a browser-based dashboard is no longer functional, as Fitbit has discontinued support for that feature.
Before you change your Fitbit Blaze watch face
Ensure your Fitbit Blaze is charged and paired with the Fitbit (Google Health) app on your phone or tablet. This connection is required to browse, select, and sync any new watch face to your device. You can also access the clock faces menu via the Fitbit.com dashboard on a computer, though this is now obsolete and will not work.
How to change your watch face on the Fitbit Blaze
- Open the Fitbit (Google Health) app on your paired smartphone or tablet.
- Tap the device icon (often the Blaze icon or your profile picture, then select your device).
- Select "Clock Face" or "Clock Display" (or navigate to "Gallery" then "Clocks") to open the available options.
- Browse the available clock faces, tap the one you wish to install, and wait for your Fitbit Blaze to sync and apply the new face.
Customizing your new watch face
After selecting a watch face, you may have options to personalize it. Many faces allow you to change colors, adjust the layout, or add and remove complications such as heart rate, step count, or weather information. Some watch faces allow you to set specific goals or challenges directly from the watch face, such as a step goal or timed exercise challenge. Some watch faces can sync with other applications on your smartphone, such as apps for weather updates, fitness tracking, or social media notifications. These customization options vary depending on the specific watch face you choose. To modify these settings, access the "Settings" option within the Fitbit app after selecting your watch face.
