 It's just pretty limited with its functions. Yes, you could read text messages, get those notifications through the watch, and even control your music, but it's pretty bare-bones as it is, and there's no big third-party app support for it. So at the end of the day, the Fitbit Blaze is a great wearable fitness tracker for twenty dollars. Yes, it is on the pricier side in comparison to some other fitness trackers, but you get a little bit more with the touch screen and also some of the light SmartWatch functions

 Best part about this is that you wear it and you forget about it. It's just that easy. So it has automatic tracking and the good thing about it is that there's not a whole lot of international on our end. It monitors all the vitals you'd expect like steps, travel distance, your heart rate, calories, and sleep

 It's definitely not the most attractive screen we've seen in a wearable fitness tracker, but thankfully you could view all the stats and information through the Fitbit Blaze itself. You don't need the app, but if you do, didn't need the app. The app is pretty diversified because it breaks down all your workouts and gives you some vital information, and there's also a social aspect with it. You think this would be a great SmartWatch alternative, but it unfortunately isn't

 So it has automatic tracking and the good thing about it is that there's not a whole lot of international on our end. It monitors all the vitals you'd expect like steps, travel distance, your heart rate, calories, and sleep. And the best part is you don't need to use a smart phone to be your daily stats. You can see it all through display

Fitbit Blaze Review

  Would I buy it again? I like it as a watch, and it looks cool, and it does work sometimes, and it still measures my steps (although it misses quite a few there too). It helps me lose weight as it drives me to keep my calorie burn and step count up every day. But it still doesn't do the two main things I bought it for. If there was competition reasonably priced (under $200), that was more consistent in these two areas, I would consider them

 I got this product for two main reasons: 1) I wanted a heart rate monitor while I worked out. 2) I wanted it to sync with my phone to use the phone's GPS for the most accurate distance readings.  I wear this everyday, and I like how it keeps track of my calories I burn per day, and the app is good to track how many calories you eat. But how does this device do measuring the two most important stats I mentioned above? I lost 55 pounds while using this product, which is the only reason I gave it three stars

 it will read 96bpm when I am at 135bpm. This has an impact on my calorie total. Often, when I am really in the midst of a great workout with a high heart rate, it won't even have a reading. I could live with this if it wasn't for #2

Fails in two major areas

 I bought the Blaze as I'd already invested two years of my life in tracking activity on fitbit, my surge was breaking away from the band after a year of use, and with some rewards my company wellness program offers, it was essentially free. I did some of the fitstar workouts, which were actually great but there are only 3 (!). I hope they add more in a later update, but no info has been shared on that yet. I do like tracking my weightlifting and gym workouts, keeping tabs on steps and heartrate, calories burned etc

 However, now I have to commit to carrying my phone with me if I am going to use the Blaze instead of my Garmin, and I'm normally not one to listen to music or carry much along when I'm putting in 5 or 10 miles on city sidewalks and trails. The last thing I'd say I like is the silent alarm feature. This is something the fitbit surge had, too, but with the screen interface you can snooze for 9 minutes or dismiss the alarm. Helps me be less sedentary at my desk job throughout the day, and is a way better way to wake up that a blaring alarm clock

What I like: it does a good job at the main things it's supposed to do -- tracking steps and heart rate, and telling the time. It's somewhat stylish, and in general the fitbit app on my phone and the dashboards are great. I bought the Blaze as I'd already invested two years of my life in tracking activity on fitbit, my surge was breaking away from the band after a year of use, and with some rewards my company wellness program offers, it was essentially free. I did some of the fitstar workouts, which were actually great but there are only 3 (!)

A watch that tracks steps, but it's not really all that smart.

 This alarm feature is supposed to wake you up silently by just using the vibrations in the device. Now, while that is a really good idea, I Found that the vibration was actually too weak to wake me up in the morning, and even then you have to rely on the smartphone app in order to create and edit alarms. even during that one hour lifting sessions I wasn't able to get the Fitbit to say that my max heart rate was anything above 150. which is a bit of a bummer because the Fitbit Blaze as a somewhat more expensive in this tracker

 One little caveat that I had about the device one put into the frame is that you have to fit it in just perfectly if you have the frame right here. you have the two buttons on the Wrights using pins on the frame that will push into those buttons and then one over on the left. One issue that I had is that I didn't have the device seated just perfectly in the frame, so this button over on the left actually needed to be pushed even harder and it was a little bit uncomfortable. It has to be seated just right into the frame or else the device might not get triggered with its buttons

 And as far as message notifications go, you can pick one application in order to get your notifications. However, that's really all that you're going to get in my case. I used hangouts and if multiple messages came in from one person, then it just grouped them together and I wasn't able to read them one by one very easily. and finally, the music control seemed to really need just particular applications in order to be useful

25 inch of screen on the front at 240 by 180 resolution. And of course you have the heart rate monitor on the back that will always be firing when it is on your wrist. Customization is possible here as the different wrist bands and the frame itself can be bought with different materials for example, leather if you want it to be a little bit more catering to your style and then switching between the two is a matter of just snapping out the device itself and then putting it into the other frame. The Fitbit Blaze does do a pretty good job of adapting to whatever style it is put on

 their products are super simple. You just put them on your wrist where I'm all day and they tell you if we're moving or if you're being lazy with the new Fitbit Blaze that it's trying something a bit more stylish, more sophisticated, maybe more. Smart question is, how does it work? Just like other Fitbit's the $200 Blaze will track your daily activity, count your steps heart rate age high while you're sleeping, and put all that data into Fitbit SAP on your phone where you can compete with your friends. This one adds a few new tricks

 There's a nice color screen and the watch tells you how to do certain exercises and it will track your workouts automatically. But above all else, Fitbit is pushing in the style and fashion with Blaze because you can swap bands between Silicon weather and a pricier steel option. The steel frame around the blaze is kind of huge, even on my wrists. Blaze's screen is the nicest one fit that's ever made

 But there's no GPS built in so you've got to carry your phone with you. You're going to run outside and want to track your route. That's pretty disappointing from a 200-dollar fitness device. Another disappointment is that the Blaze for right now at least doesn't even remind you to get up and move around that that says that's coming in a future software update: Then there's Fitz Tower Feature The Blaze that shows you how to do certain workouts by showing you people like animations on the screen

 Fitbit Calls The Blaze a Smart Fitness not a SmartWatch, but it's still not really as smart as I like there are notifications for calls, text, and calendar, but that's it. No Facebook No Twitter no Instagram Not even email now I Can understand why you'd want to tune those things out, but the option should at least be there. They are music controls when you're playing music on your phone, but again, this is all pretty basic stuff. But that brings us to the Blazes big strength battery Fitbit says in the last five days net charge and I can actually vouch for that

 With the Surge, even if the backlight wasn't on, you could still see the screen information in daylight, but the Blaze completely shuts down. This is unacceptable for me. I need to be able to glance down and quickly see my heart rate all the time. With the Blaze, in order to wake up the screen, you need to either flick/rotate your wrist toward your face, push the side button on the watch, or tap the screen

 I need to be able to glance down and quickly see my heart rate all the time. With the Blaze, in order to wake up the screen, you need to either flick/rotate your wrist toward your face, push the side button on the watch, or tap the screen. I've found that flicking only works if you give it a fair amount of rotation (just gently lifting it toward your face doesn't work), and sometimes I tap the screen 20 times and it still doesn't wake up, so really, pushing the button is the only reliable method to get it to display information. This is also the case in activity monitoring mode, so again, that's a fail for me

I'm new to the fitness watch craze and my needs are a bit different than the average user's. I got the Blaze because I was looking for continuous heart rate monitoring due to some health issues. I had initially gotten the Surge and loved it, except for one big issue - the main watch face on the Surge only has one variable - time - and, due to an asinine software update by Fitbit, the watch face cannot be frozen on the heart rate or any of the other subordinate screens. Instead, it reverts to the main time screen after 15 seconds

So close to what I wanted, yet so far away

 It’s attractive, fits comfortably, bright enough to see in the daylight and provides the basic functions of a watch and HR monitor I desired. Just don’t expect it to be a smartphone substitute.

 Syncing with fitness apps is easy, however, the updates made to those apps from Fitbit are ‘not’ what I expected. I’ve since turned off all updates and syncing except for step counting.  6. During my 2 bike rides (29 miles and 14 miles) and 4 miles of walking, the distance logged by the Fitbit Blaze was almost a mile off for each activity

 There was a piece of paper advising you to go to a website. The website told me to download an app to my smartphone. I downloaded the app then had to go through the process of ‘setting’ up my Fitbit account and certain settings on the phone.  AT NO TIME were there every any instructions on HOW to use the watch

Nice Upgrade from a Standard Watch

  As a smart watch? The Blaze is also just okay. Your options are notifications for calls, texts, and calendar alerts. For me, these three options are just fine. Honestly, I don't want a buzz on my wrist for every single notification on my phone

 Additionally, Fitbit and Strava have a partnership, so any running/cycling activity you do on either platform gets automatically synced to the other. Why is this important? Because I use Runkeeper. Fitbit doesn't sync with Runkeeper, but using Tapiriik.com, Strava is the middle-man, and therefore any activity I do with Fitbit can be synced with Runkeeper

 The range these alerts come to the phone is decent... I'll get an alert if my phone is in the living room and I'm in the kitchen, for example

. I'll get an alert if my phone is in the living room and I'm in the kitchen, for example. But really, I can still hear my phone ring from the other room anyway. Also recently, I'll get the buzzes on my wrist even during a text conversation (when the app says the watch WON'T buzz when you're in an active conversation), so turned off notifications for now

which I loved as a basic pedometer (cause really

  - It was easy to setup. I already had the FitBit app and the FitStar app and the watch synched easily and quickly.  - I also have the scale (yes, I went all in!). It works and synchs great

  - I wore it last night to track my sleep and it seemed to work great. The watch overall is light and was very comfortable. I've only taken it off to shower and to charge.  - I bought a blue band as well, but I haven't switched them out yet to see how hard it is, but I did take one of the black ones off and put it back on and it was pretty easy

 I'm just a 47 year old man with bad knees, bad ankles and aches and pains all over. I can't run anymore, so I just wanted something to track steps and get me more interested in working out. This definitely does the trick.  I also paid for the FitStar app and I've actually been using that before I received the watch

  - I also have the scale (yes, I went all in!). It works and synchs great. All of the products are well made and look nice (although as mentioned above, not sure about the long-term durability of the watch).  - Not missing GPS feature

This is my first fitness tracker and I think I made a great choice! I'm 47

The Steel HR is a handsome analog watch with a physical dial, a small non-touch OLED screen for notifications, some basic smartwatch features such as activity tracking, and weeks of battery life.

Hardware Canucks

 It's a worthwhile purchase if you like the style, but know that its smart features come secondary to its design.

 Expect to see about five days of battery power when using workout mode regularly. If used lightly, for time and step counting only, you can easily go a month before needing a recharge.

The Withings Steel HR Sport is well designed, good looking, and comes with enough fitness features and smart notifications to remind you that it&#039;s not a traditional wristwatch—even if it looks like one.

Withings Steel HR Sport Review

I currently have an Apple Watch but I’m going to be wearing my analog watch again - I prefer the aesthetics and don’t need all the features and distractions of a smartwatch. 

I’ve read in recent reviews Fitbit often overestimates steps, and as I’ve no interest in Premium I’m a bit concerned how much is going to be put behind the subscription. 

So I’m looking at a more discreet fitness tracker, that I can wear on my opposite wrist without it looking weird.
