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

Good battery life, Vibrant color display, Accurate heart rate, sleep, and step monitoring, Effective workout guidance
Awkward design, Lacks built-in GPS, Not waterproof, Wristbands feel a bit cheap, Automatic exercise recognition is slow
