And probably a little

In all honesty
I think the Fitbit Blaze is rather ugly. There are so many good looking wearable devices out there right now – look at the Apple Watch and you see something that has a really well thought out and attractive design
Here it feels like Fitbi
Underwhelming features and design
It's wide
Pop-out design for band-swapping and charging feels clunky
Can't shower with it
Baked-in Fitstar workouts don't do much
No inbuilt GPS will be a pain for runners
No third party notification support
Not water resistant
Buttons feel cheap on such a sturdy device
No standalone GPS tracking
Water resistant
Not waterproof – so no good for swimmers
Large bezel
Not waterproof
Guided workouts basic
HR tracker not the best
No GPS without smartphone
No waterproofing
Distance measuring without GPS inaccurate
Touchscreen not responsive enough
Expensive
Not the Apple Watch contender it might appear to be
Periodic syncing issues
Has trouble tracking steps/distance on a treadmill
Big and bulky
Those who want a discreet activity tracker won't be a fan
The food database for calories consumed is USbased by default
So you need to head into advanced settings and change it to UK you can scan barcodes but we found that some more popul
The Fitbit Blaze is the least expensive of the colourful Fitbit trackers, especially for people looking for a fitness watch smarter than the average timepiece. Like all the Fitbits it's a great activity tracker, supported by a fantastic app and desktop da...

Image 13 of 14Past Fitbits have been about discrete functionality, but recently the company has been moving towards being eye-catching as well as useful, and the Fitbit Blaze is a solid step forward in that regard. It looks nice enough and offers plenty o...

After quite a bit of time with the Blaze, I can see why Fitbit is being a little bit vague about how they categorize it. It most definitely isn't a smartwatch, although it is a bit smarter than your average fitness tracker.And not surprisingly Fitbit has...

Yes. Fitbit's Blaze is packed to the limit with useful tracking information, giving wearers the ability to not just brag about their daily steps but also calories burned, number of hours spent in REM sleep, stairs climbed, and daily hours active. The watc...

As mentioned, I initially didn't like the Blaze, I felt that it was a little limited compared to some of the more expensive devices out there. Oddly though the Blaze really grows on you over time. Part of this is simply the ease of utility – I used the 7...
The Fitbit Blaze is a difficult device to place. It's larger and has more features than your average fitness tracker, but it's not feature-packed enough to be considered a proper sports watch. It's something of a smartwatch, but the limited notification r...
