The editors didn't like

  • 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

  • Excellent activity tracking, long battery life, bright display
  • Not waterproof, no onboard GPS, limited smart features
  • The Fitbit Blaze is a handy activity tracking device in the shape of a smartwatch. It does a great job giving you an insight into your fitness and monitoring your exercise but it's light on the smart side...

  • Continuous heart-rate monitoring, Convenient automatic exercise-tracking, On-screen FitStar workouts
  • Clunky, inconvenient charging cradle, Body, frame, and bands feel cheaper than they are, $299
  • If you're an Apple fan, buy the Apple Watch. Its fitness features are solid, and it's basically an iPhone on your wrist. But if you've been using Fitbit devices for a long time, then the Blaze is worth a look. It's not the most stylish fitness band around...

  • Comfortable design; a large, readable display; good-looking accessories; solid four-day-plus battery life; works with iPhones and Android phones
  • 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
  • Fitbit's first real smartwatch gets a lot of things right, including comfort, features and price, but it's not a slam-dunk design for everyone...

  • Bold design, Great clockfaces, Tracks BPM well
  • Limited customisation, Barebones app, Not Water Proof
  • I thoroughly enjoyed wearing the Blaze and would certainly wear it as my daily. The physical design looks better than an Apple Watch, in my humble opinion, and although it's not quite as versatile as I would have liked, it definitely justifies its R3...
