The biggest hurdle wearable devices need to clear is battery life
And the Fitbit Blaze seems to have managed that. I'm still stunned when I realise this is a smartwatch with a color display that will last me a minimum of four days

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 perfect option for those willing to sacrifice a little bit of fitness performance for a sleeker style. Lacking the dedicated GPS, it requires you to carry your phone with you to get GPS data of your physical workouts, but comes at...

Abstract: First up is the new Fitbit Charge 2. This unit sits in the middle of Fitbit's product line-up, in terms of price and functionality. Whereas you have the Fitbit Flex 2 down below it from a price/functions standpoint, and then the Fitbit Blaze above it. Mea...
Taking a look at both of the accessories that Verizon sent over has been interesting. As much as I did like the Bose SoundLink Mini II, it was the Fitbit Blaze that really caught my eye. It offers a great way get notifications from your mobile phone and...
It's easy to find a fitness tracker in 2016. There are plenty of models to choose from, each with a variable reason to consider. Heck, Fitbit alone has more than a couple devices to choose from. You're not going to go wrong if you pick something from Fitb...

Decent battery life, Plenty of fitness features, Selection of straps
Iffy notifications, Few non-fitness features
The Fitbit Blaze packs in a strong selection of fitness features and marries up well with the Fitbit app, giving you a pretty comprehensive overview of your exercise sessions. The Fitstar is a simple but effective feature for getting into shape, while sta...
Continuous heart rate monitoring, customizable features, nice selection of interchangeable bands, great battery life
Heart rate monitoring can be a little finicky, proprietary charging dock, doesn't resemble the look of a classic watch, smart watch features are limited, Prev2 of 2Next
