As for the music control, The When I go to the Blaze 101 Guide within the FitBit app on my smartphone, and select Music, the animation that plays, make is seem like you can adjust the music from within the activity window. The visual that plays over and over shows going to the activity, starting it and then the screen pulls down to adjust the music as it does from the main page. This is very misleading. What is the point of having the music adjustment except for when you are in the middle of a workout? This is definitely a major negative in my opinion.
Also while working out, I have one of my pre-set activities as circuit training and yet it has not automatically detected it yet. It sometimes detects walking or running instead. So, in order for it to track the correct activity, I have to use the activity screen on the watch and then I can't control my music except by using my phone. This is hard to do as I am in the middle of a workout and have only so much time to get from one station to another. Annoying.
I have had trouble also with the plastic band for this watch. It is very wide even for a not-so-petite person like myself (I wear Large band size on the 3rd to smallest hole - small looked like it would be too small). When I wear the watch for workouts, I get an allergic reaction to the plastic. So, I have to change the watch to my other arm right after. It would be nice if there was a band that tapered a little bit so that it was not as obtrusive. I'm thinking something more feminine. Also, maybe one that is designed more for sports that breathes. Like a fabric and velcro option or a stretch-type band for better comfort when you are really sweating it out.
Lastly, I was disappointed to find that the reminder to move when you have been sedentary too long was not included with this product.
Don't get me wrong, there is a lot to like about this watch. I am however a bit disappointed that it is not all that I expected. I hope some of these things will be corrected as further development takes place. Hopefully when they roll out a software upgrade.
