Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Fitbit Blaze Smart Fitness Watch, Black, Large (Renewed)

This watch functioned ok but somewhat glitchy with syncing to phone and music. The power/back button stopped working after 1 year. All customer support does is push new products onto you without fixing a software issue to make the button work again. It's currently in my junk drawer as a $150 paperweight.

I just bought it in January and it no longer works. I charge it and in about 6 hours it is dead.

I've had the Blaze Fitness Watch for a couple of weeks and find it very useful and fun to use. It keeps track of my daily exercise activity and other health-related data. It is very user-friendly, but you pretty well need a compatible mobile device with which to sync your data in order get all the benefits. Make sure you download and read the user's manual; it has 41 pages and contains a lot of information that you won't know about unless you read the manual. One feature that I particularly like is the sleep tracker which tells me how well I slept, how long I slept, how many times I got up, etc. One thing that I would like to see added is a more detailed time scale on the sleep pattern graph in the fitbit app. The Blaze is very comfortable to wear and weighs next to nothing, so I don't mind wearing it to bed which I would not be able to do with a regular watch.

Broken after 1 week - Replacement broke after 3 weeks - DO Not Purchase

Overall the product concept is good and helpful. The charging system for this particular model of Fitbit product is kind of lame. Looks like they hired all the smart people to design the actual fitbit and then hired some elementary school kids to design the charging system.

Broke after 1 week....just wouldn't turn on unless it was back in the charger. Lots of similiar complaints from other users. Looks like they have to work on making a bettet product.

Gave this transaction 2 stars only because Amazon had a replacement shipped to me within 3 days at no additional cost to me. If the replacement breaks I'll submit another review and give it 1 star

UPDATE - the Fitbit replacement I received (Big Thank-You to Amazon! - they get 5 stars) stopped working about 3 weeks after I received it. Same issue - stops working unless it's in the charger. They really need to re-work the interior design of this product - I'm not even that active of a guy and it broke. Amazon gets 5 stars for their helpfulness - Fitbit manufacture's get Zero - DO NOT BUY!

This Fitbit is awesome.

I have previously used the Fitbit one which I was happy with but I was looking for something more.

The watch and band are pretty light and comfortable to wear. My wrist is exactly 17 cm so I was unsure as to which band size to buy. I bought the large and I am very glad I did. If you go to the Fitbit site, they have a strap guide you can print to determine your size. With the watch on my wrist comfortable, I still have 5 holes I can use to adjust it smaller. If you're on the fence about size, get the larger one.

The watch comes with a charger, you need to pop the screen out and place it in the charger and make sure the clasp is closed. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge.

The setup process is very easy and is done through the Fitbit app, they walk you through everything. The app displays all the data collected from the Fitbit during the day.

The touch screen is very easy to use and is very sensitive. The battery lasts 3-4 days, to make is last 4-5 days, I turn off the all day sync. The only difference is you have to sync it when you open the app which takes an extra 10 seconds.

There are so many awesome features on this watch
-continuously monitors your heart rate
-you can choose the workout you are doing to get accurate info
-tracks your workouts automatically
-tracks sleep, it can tell when you are sleeping and not just relaxing
-summarizes your workouts
-GPS when connected to phone
-shows text messages and missed calls
-full colour display
-change display colours, choose between 4 styles
-control music playing on my iPod when synced

I love data and I love being able to track my progress. There are also badges and notifications when you reach your goals.

I have very sensitive skin and nothing on this watch irritates my skin. I wanted a leather band to switch out but the Fitbit ones are expensive. If you look for "Fitbit blaze band" on eBay, you can find some for much cheaper.

I am very happy with the Fitbit blaze!

1) it has raised my awareness of bad sleep habits

Battery life is mediocre. Heart rate accuracy is questionable. The touch screen is not 100%. The vibration notification is no powerful and can go undetected. To turn off notifications or put it into sleep mode, there is no quick way. Many steps to go through. Overall I'm not dazzled by the product, but a few benefits have made it worthwhile. 1) it has raised my awareness of bad sleep habits, and in particular how lack of sleep impacts heart health by increasing resting heart rate; 2) it raises my awareness of active days, and inactive hours, i.e. times when I'm not reaching e.g. 250 steps per hour, thereby remind me to stay active and move around.
