Love it, great fitness and everyday use smart watch
I've been a fitbit fan for years, so I was happy when they came out with a watch to rival Apple Watch (which my husband has). I feel Fitbit is better at tracking fitness and has more workout options available. You can select (run, bike, weights, treadmill, elliptical, workout, hike, spinning, yoga, golf, kickboxing, the list goes on and on! The StarFit app comes with 3 workouts (warm up, 7 min workout, and abs) I think you can purchase more but I'm fine with those for now, useful when traveling. Being able to read my messages and see who is calling from my wrist is nice. I'm getting used to the BPM monitor, so far it seems accurate. It goes up when I'm running and down when I'm sleeping. You can select between 4 clock faces, kind of sad I couldn't select Mickey Mouse like the Apple Watch...LOL But that's not a big deal. Being able to switch the bands is nice as well. I have the black, purple, and camel leather. You can also control the volume of your music from the Blaze. I don't workout to music so I can't say if its easy to do or not, just wanted you to know its a option. If your more concerned with fitness over how many apps you can sync to your watch then choose the Blaze!
Upgraded from charge to blaze
I previously had the fitbit charge. The material was great never had a problem wearing it. I wanted to upgrade. Amazon had the best price. I wear it everyday. Never have had a problem with syncing or anything with the band it self. The screen in the middle is secured in tightly. Battery last 5 days and have to charge it for 1 hour to be full again. I wear this in the sun or rain no matter wear it seems to always hold up. I can't wait to order more bands and holders for the screen.
The heart rate monitor works great and how it should. I have the small and it fits much better than the small on the charge. There is still plenty of extra strap to make it larger. The extra strap is held on by a part that has a notch so the strap doesn't come undone. If it breaks customer service is great and willing to replace it all. I have recommended to many people who have bought the blaze.
It's the perfect style for and active person who still wants to be fashionable and doesn't always have their phone by them. The text part is amazing makes it able to read text without looking at your phone same with phone calls.
So cool!
I was a little hesitant about purchasing any Fitbit after initially ordering the Charge 2. After receiving it in the mail, I immediately removed it from the box and attempted to set it up. I soon became frustrated and disappointed that it wouldn't connect to any Bluetooth equipment that I own. I tried everything that was suggested on the Fitbit website as well as what other people who had difficulty and nothing worked. I'm thinking it was just a fluke, idk. I decided to return it and contemplated as to what kind of tracker I wanted. I even looked into the Apple watch. After reading the reviews for the Blaze and seeing that the majority had a lot of good things to say about it I decided to give it a try. Plus the price was right after it went on sale for Black Friday:)
Well, I can honestly say, I had no problems whatsoever with the Blaze. I absolutely love it and all the wonderful things it can do for me. I can also agree as others have mentioned in their reviews, that its pretty accurate on tracking heart rate and steps. The app for it is a nice feature and is very helpful whether your tracking exercise/activities, sleep patterns or your heart rate. It's exactly what I wanted in a tracker and it looks nice also. I recommend for others to give it a try too.
Easy to use, great battery life
I got the Blaze in early March right when it came out. I've been wearing it daily since then and love it so far. The best thing is the battery life is phenomal, I only need to charge it about once a week. I have a very small wrist and was concerned about the size of the face. It actually feels better on my wrist than the charge HR did because of the joints where the charge HR is one piece. It does look large on my wrist but it doesn't bother me. I had an android phone when I first bought this and the notifications on the blaze didn't work. When I bought an iPhone 6 recently the notifications have worked without issues. The screen is really user friendly and I love the stopwatch and timer feature (works great for baking when I leave the kitchen). The heart rate monitor, and sleep monitor work just as well as in the charge HR. I bought the leather band at the same time as the Blaze and it was fairly easy to swap out, but I wouldn't want to do it daily. The face pops out easily to charge - I initially was concerned with removing it requently to charge, i was concerned it would effect its durability and wear it down to wear it might slip out on it own- this is the not case at all, it retains its structure.
Great watch, easy to use, looks nicer than the past models, great battery life.
So far it's a great little smart watch
So far it's a great little smart watch. It's been doing a good job at monitoring my heartbeats (every 10-15 seconds it scans), along with how many steps I've taken and other things. I like how it monitors my sleeping pattern/heartbeat and keeps a log of everything. It helps knowing these things at a higher viewpoint, and those graphs help that. The biggest thing I like about is how versatile it's been so far. The tracker pops out of the metal frame/band set and can be inserted into another set in a couple of seconds. I have 2 other frame/band sets aside from stock, and I use one for office and the other for gym/physical activities.
I'd advise going with the large band unless you have rails for wrists. I have small wrists and I ordered the small, and I only have 2 more holes in the band with stock. I tried my coworkers on at work who has a large, and it fit great with a little over half of the holes used with lots to spare.
This needs a bluetooth 4.0 computer to do bluetooth with, as I found out with macbook pro. My pro is a late-2011, which doesn't have bluetooth 4.0 nor does it have the low energy feature of bluetooth which this guy uses. I do my connectivity through my phone, but the data is uploaded to the site when sync'ed so I can go to fitbit.com to read everything just as in one of the fitbit apps.
My first Fitbit and I love it!
I have been wanting a Fitbit for quite some time but found that the Blaze was going to be released so I waited for it. I fortunately got is as a gift and have been using it now for about a month. I am not disappointed! It was super easy to pair to my iPhone 6 and I have never had Bluetooth connectivity problems. I was worried about the size of it looking weird on my small wrist but I think it looks great! It's size small and it's very comfortable. I have not had issues with the screen. It's very responsive when I turn my wrist to see the time and also when I use the touchscreen. All of the stats seem accurate, I was worried about having accuracy issues since I read a lot of complaints with older models. I have used the GPS feature connected to my phone several times and it was very accurate. It keeps me very motivated to reach my goals especially during my workouts. I charge it about every 4-5 days so it holds a charge really well! I don't mind popping the screen out to charge it in the pod. I love the different band options, I only have the black sport band but I plan on getting the leather band soon. I like the smart watch features of getting notifications with calls and texts. I didn't really want a full smart watch like the Apple one so this is perfect. I just like seeing the message or who calls if I'm not near my phone. I love the silent alarm to wake me up in the morning so I don't wake up my boyfriend. The sleep tracking seems accurate and I like to see how I am sleeping. The app is great and very user friendly. I really can't say enough about it!
