The biggest hurdle wearable devices need to clear is battery life

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

Nice look and feel, not too big or bulky, heart rate monitoring built in, strong app solution
Screen doesn't always automatically display, large bezel, screen could have been bigger, needs more watch displays to select from, pricey, notifications not that great
Vibrant Display, Great Battery Life, Accurate steps and sleep tracking, Excellent Fitbit app
Unattractive and awkward design, Splash-proof but not waterproof, Lacks built-in GPS, Average notification offerings, Priced on the higher side, Images by Sandeep Sarma,
The Fitbit Blaze scores in terms of providing probably the best fitness and activity tracking. It is also decent in the sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring department. The FitStar feature that offers animated workout tutorial is a great addition whic...
No GPS, Caused skin irritation, Clunky proprietary charger
Fitbit Blaze's design and ability to show notifications are its best features. The silent alarm is pretty useful too. The lack of a GPS hurts the Blaze's utility as a watch for runners. If you need a watch that shows you notifications, has a colour screen...

The Fitbit Blaze is a sports strap-on that knows its mark and hits it. For those after a smartwatch with sporting pedigree, look elsewhere: the Blaze is well-and-truly a sports watch, and a darn good one at that.Sure, off-device GPS isn't ideal, and there...
Limited notification, Water-resistant not waterproof, Mediocre design
With the help of Fitbit Blaze, I get to see my steps per day, my calories burned and can track my sleep. The app is undeniably one of the best extensive reviews from Fitbit. This smartwatch definitely amazed me with its battery performance bec...
