- For people starting out with fitness, the Fitbit Blaze is a decent all-rounder and the best tracker the company has produced to date. The Blaze offers a spectrum of stats for most pursuits, including Sleep Stages and Cardio Fitness Level based on VO2 Max, but not all of them are perfect in nature.

It’s clear that Fitbit was keen to move away from the dorky black plastic bands that have dominated its design to date. Customization is now the buzzword, and that’s a crucial element of the Blaze, but something the company is also focusing on across most of its range. The tracker itself is a black plastic square that snaps into a stainless steel f...
So what does the Blaze do? Well, effectively it’s the Charge HRwith an OLED screen, guided workouts and more smart notifications. It tracks steps, calories burned, stairs climbed, active time, resting heart rate, and both sleep stages and quality of sleep. What’s more, it has several sports modes, which will track particular exercises using the bui...
There’s so much going on with the Blaze, we need to break down the features to study the accuracy. First up, steps and sleep. We’ve put the Fitbit Blaze up against other step trackers, but as ever, the problem is that they all use different algorithms. With the Blaze, it’s the same deal as we’ve found across other Fitbit devices like the Alta HR – ...
Optical heart rate is getting better, but it still isn’t going to challenge a chest strap, especially on a device like the Blaze which is now over a year old. If you want to do HIIT then buy a chest strap – end of. Incidentally, you’ll have to use a different device, as the Blaze isn’t compatible with ANT+ or Bluetooth straps. The trouble is that ‘...
A somewhat shoehorned addition to the Blaze is the set of guided FitStar workouts that live on the watch’s menu system. The idea is that you can fire up a workout, and then follow it on the watch. It’s a great idea, and bolsters the Blaze’s credentials as a ‘fitness watch’, even if at present there are only three workouts: Warm up, 7 Minute Workout...
When the Blaze first arrived, the only notifications it could display were text messages and call logs. That’s it. Thanks to an update since then, you can now receive notifications from third-party apps, from social media apps like Facebook and Twitter to news apps from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Enabling the notifications are nest...
The Blaze feeds into the same app as the rest of the Fitbit family. It’s a great ecosystem, full of social challenges, badges to earn and it’s well laid out and easy to use. Each day is presented on the main screen, and you tap a metric to get a broader look at your performance. For example, tap on the sleep score for the day and you can take a loo...
Fitbit promises five days of battery life from the Blaze, which was absolutely borne out in our tests. Even with some tracked workouts, the Blaze expired exactly five days after our initial charge. It’s pretty impressive given the smart notifications, bright OLED screen and the svelte build that leaves little room for a battery.
The Blaze lives in a different world now. The Alta HR and Charge 2 have come along with sleeker designs, making the Blaze look a bit long in the tooth. In terms of hardware features, the Blaze lacks the Flex 2’s waterproof design and the GPS abilities of its elder “fitness watch” brother, the Surge – which is particularly felt with other GPS wearab...
