The new Fitbit Blaze vs Apple Watch Review

The new Fitbit Blaze comes with a great battery life and an incredible and vibrant color display.
The new Fitbit Blaze is available at the price of 199 dollars, which is not a huge price if we look at the specs.

Moreover, this new fitness tracker looks more like a smartwatch, which will probably add some plus points on its side.

The new Fitbit Blaze is able to do what other fitness trackers on the market do as well, for example tracking activities, workouts, and heart rate.

But, we also must add that this new tracker comes with a color touch screen that has the ability to display notifications from people’s smartphones and workout guidance.

Moreover, the company claims that the battery life could go up to approximately five days, which means that it lasts longer than any other smartwatch on the market.

However, customers should know that the new Fitbit Blaze is not exactly a smartwatch.

After looking over the specs and its functionality, we must say that people will be disappointed if they would buy the new Fitbit Blaze for smartwatch use.

Moreover, people who already own a fitness tracker should know that there are not many reasons to upgrade.

Moving to the design, we must say that the new Fitbit Blaze is a little bit similar with the Apple Watch. This means that it comes with a rectangular 240 x 180-pixel color touch screen. Moreover, the display is covered with Gorilla Glass.

However, the similarities between the new Fitbit Blaze and Apple Watch end at the display’s shape and resolution. We must say that the screen found on the new Blaze is smaller if we compare it with the one on the Apple Watch.

The new Fitbit Blaze comes with a 1.25 inches screen, while the Apple Watch’s screen measures 1.34 inches or 1.53 inches depending on what size the customers choose. 

We also must say that the new Fitbit Blaze’s screen comes with a chunky black bezel, and it is accompanied by two large gaps between the frame and the screen.

This new fitness tracker comes with a modular design that can be easily removed or added into the frame attached to the band.

The company added this feature in purpose for customers to easily switch from a workout, sweat resistant strap to something more elegant or stylish, like a leather or stainless steel link band.

Customers should know that the frame measures 1 x 1.58 x 0.5 inches and weighs approximately 1.44 ounces. To be added that this frame comes with three buttons: two on the right side and one on the left side.

When buying this new fitness tracker, customers will receive in the box a black, purple, or blue elastomer strap.

The premium bands are sold in different packages, being considered accessories. Customers could choose from camel, black, or gray leather bands that feature stainless steel frames or silver frame.

The stainless steel frame is available at the price of 99 dollars, while the silver one at the price of 129 dollars.
