Fitbit Blaze Smart Fitness Watch, Large (Black)

Moved back from USA last jan. Was using jawbone up3 but the excessive sweat in chennai leaked into the tracker and damaged the magnet. Now the tracker is useless and jawbone is ready to send a replacement only to a US Address. I gave up on them and bought fitbit blaze.. I have tried the flex, charge and charge HR, courtesy of bestbuy.. Returned all 3 in less than 3 days because of the cheap and crappy design.. But this time it's different.. Fitbit made a huge leap with surge and it's pitfalls were hit on spot with blaze. I have to accept that the tracker is almost 100% accurate in its tracking capabilities. I tested the steps, floors, and all is features.Fitstar is an excellent tool if you are set to get yourself back in shapeFitbit app, though not as cool and intuitive as jawbone up, it shows what you need and what is really required.Two areas where the app can improve in comparison to jawbone up is 1) sleep tracking - doesn't compare your sleep with resting heart rate. Jawbone used this data to show you REM periods. The same can definitely be implemented with this tracker.2) Jawbone shows lot of insights and kind of gives you a feeling of a person/coach/trainer giving you tips and suggestions. I miss this a lot on fitbit. Fitbit does give you the badges, but the insights will make it on par with UP.Overall, its totally worth it. The feature of using your phones gps without affecting your tracker's battery is smart and works perfect.A quality, good looking and well developed tracker is my final word about this product. Worth the price and definitely recommend it..

Shipping: The Shipping was bit delayed via Aramex but it came before the estimated delivery date. Since it was stuck at Indian customs during Christmas.The product came safe in good packaging.Design and Interface:There are three components:1) The square shaped Fitbit Blaze device.2) The wrist band with hollow metallic holder for Fitbit Blaze. The bands can be also detached from the metallic holder.3) The fit bit charging dock with USB.You have to put the Fitbit Blaze device in the hollow metallic holder carefully without dropping it until you get better after some practice.It has I phone like single button control with two more buttons in the removable metallic square shape hollow with synthetic wrist band. If I remember correctly that's for selection. Fitbit responds to touch and physical buttons.You need to have non fast charging adapter to charge the Fitbit Blaze inside the dock.Then you have to download the Fitbit app, register and sync and input your personal data.What I liked:I love the sleep and heart tracker.It also has a meditation mode.It has a silent vibration notification for alarm, apps notification, phone calls and motivational badges.There are two Bluetooth one connects with your phone and another Bluetooth classic connects with the music app.It has a good web support.Some settings can be only done through app.Example: Clock DisplayIssues faced:It can't be worn tightly on the wrist. It will give some irritation on skin.I contacted regarding the above issue in their Fitbit app connected to twitter support via direct message. I got a email with instructions and link to Wear & Care.Here is a snippet"..wearing the tracker a little looser to you give your tracker enough room for it to move around. Additionally, we would suggest that you try wearing the tracker higher up on your wrist while you're sleeping."Step count algorithm issue:It also creates fake steps when seated in moving vehicle like a car, auto rickshaw (Tuk Tuk). There is a way to remove unwanted steps but it's complicated if you had long day.Battery Life:It lasts but depends on the useage.

I purchased 2 watches.Retailer was Cloudtail. . Both watches looks used. 1 was not having temporary screen cover n also having 1 dent on it's frame which clearly shows that it's used. Another one was having dust particles on watch n frame n screen was also having some spots which tells that it's used. I immediately returned the first one. Still I persisted with another one n did not return it. on next day I found that Syncing with Bluetooth keeps breaking in between.There is feature for Incomin calls, messages, whatsaapp etc. but it does not work properly. It vibrates when someone calls .As per the product description u shall be able to accept n decline the call from watch but it does not shows any icons for doing the same.Also it doec not shows messages properly.Shows some but does not shows another.it does not shows whatsapp messages.Now I m also returning another one. Also this watch is Splash proof not water resistant. Product is not worth @ 20000 Rs.Highly Dissapointed with Seller as well as Amazon.

Fitbit Blaze is just okay not very impressive.In blaze they are not utilizing the entire space on screen, display is tiny when compare to whole screen. They have left so much space around the display which makes it not just okay. Also display is not very sharp and bright. If you go to setting and increase the brightness, it sucks all your battery in just a day time.To see present time on this watch when you wore it your hand has to move in a particular angle, other wise display does not activate automatically. So most of the times, its irritating to move your hand each time when you want to check the present time. Its not smooth in that way, if you slowly or slightly move your hand, you wont be able to see time until you tap onto the screen.Blaze does not justify its high price, even during offer time, the price I brought this product is not satisfactory. Battery life last for 5 days with normal usage but if you connect your phone to blaze multiple times a day or continuous for a day, your battery would die in 2-3 days maximum.Overall, blaze is just okay, not impressive. People should try other watches as well like apple(but very expensive), Tom-2 etc etc ...
