Since writing this review, I have had a lot more time with the Fitbit Blaze – and have worn one on my wrist for much of this year, using it as my go-to when doing comparisons for fitness tracker reviews. First off, I can say that the phone-finding issue i...
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...

Fitbit has become a household name when it comes to fitness trackers and wearables in general – and not always for the right reasons. With affordable price points, the company behind some of the earliest fitness trackers to hit the market has consistently...
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, 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...
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...

Fitbit is the market leader when it comes to fitness trackers, with a wide range of devices to suit pretty much every need. The Blaze, however, is a little harder to pin down. At first glance, it looks more smartwatch than fitness tracker, but its feature-set is pretty limited. It's also not really a sports watch, as it doesn't have built-in GPS...

When the FitBit Blaze launched earlier this year in Las Vegas, in spite of the Blaze's smoking looks, I think it's fair to say it didn't set the world on fire. Which is a shame! After living with the FitBit Blaze for a few months, whilst it might not have...
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...
