An Alta with heart rate, We won't mention reminders to move, the relax function on both the Charte 2 and the Blaze, A tracker that Fitbit gives their blessing to swim with. The countdown timer, more watch faces on the Blaze and Charge 2. Yes i do agree the developers dont pay attention.Thats why the Blaze did not get the Chrongraph face with its quick start stopwatch that will stay on untill the battery dies, along with both analog and digital readouts. Just to name a few of the many requests that have made it into the latest trackers.

(I've been a product manager at a high-tech company). If a suggestion becomes too popular, it runs the risk of disappearing from view just like 'Integrate with iOS Health'has disappeared from Top Voted suggestions despite having 2000 more votes than the current 'top voted' suggestions:In fact since hiding the iOS Health suggestion, its gone from 4000+ to 5000+ votes so I guess hiding it didn't work out.Bottom line: have their own priorities and determine the features that get implemented. Product managers determine feature and are very capable and fully informed on the competition3. There is no guarantee 'the developers' will pay any attention2. Wrote:Remember we can discuss this here all we want, but there is no guarantee that the developers will see this thread1. That would discourage thieves, because there is no market for used devices that can't be activated.Fitbit needs to follow the lead of companies like Apple and provide the following in future devices like the Fitbit smartwatch under development:- serial number easily located in phone app or web dashboard- serial number imprinted on the case, to enable consumers and law enforcement to identify stolen property- system to prevent tracker activation to a new account without consent of previous owner. So practically speaking, that makes it impossible for a user or law enforcement to identify stolen property without the cooperation of Fitbit.What is really needed is some type of, preventing a stolen Blaze from transferring to a new account.

Yes, the FCC ID is the same on all Blaze. No point discussing it in the context of anti-theft.There is no serial number imprinted on the Blaze. And while the Bluetooth MAC is unique, I don't see it on the watch or web dashboard. It boggles the mind that Fitbit has not addressed this issue. Go to Ebay and see how many Blazes are for sale without the original packaging (which is the only place you will find a serial number) and ask yourself how many were probably stolen. It is illegal in most states to sell an item from which the serial number was removed.Įbay doesn't allow the sale of such items, but something that never had one is apparently fair game. It should be illegal to sell a $200.00 device without a serial number. The most Fitbit will do is offer 25% off a new one.

There is no identifying information on it or in it.Īnyone can take it and create a new account and start using it. Since the bit is tiny, it can easily be slipped into a sock or the pocket of a pair of track shorts. My son's Blaze was stolen at a track meet - the watch band and charger were left behind. Not making it possible to deactivate a lost or stolen device, allowing anyone to activate it as if it were their own.

Not putting serial numbers on the bits so that lost or stolen ones can never be returned to their rightful owners, even if recovered by police (learned this when I went to file a police report) and 2.
