Not impressed for the price
on March 13, 2016
Posted by: einsteiner
I've been doing lots of research between this, Garmin Vivoactive HR and Apple Watch. I opted to try this based on price and I wasn't impressed. It is very basic. I did not like that after a short time, the debris (lint, dust and dirt particles) that would buildup in the frame openings above and below the actual watch module. The light sensor for the auto brightness option is located in a poor location on the watch. If you're wearing a long sleeve shirt, too many times I lifted my arm to look at the watch and the very end of my shirt sleeve would ever so slightly cover the left most side of the watch, covering the sensor and yielding a dim screen most of the times. The watch did not recognize the turning of my wrist several times and would not wake up automatically. The active area of the face is misleading based on the overall face of the watch. It looks like the screen would be the size of a compact flash card when the actual interface area is about the size of an SD flash card. Depending upon the watch face selected, extra taps are necessary to see your HR; sometimes it didn't respond properly and was sluggish. I do like the overall size and it's rather light. Sorry fitbit, but this needs more polishing; it's an over priced color screen attempt of a smart watch gimmick.

Can you wear the Fitbit Blaze during water aerobics?

They say it's water / sweat resistant but not water proof. The recommend you don't wear it in the shower. fitbit.com has extensive "wear" information posted to help you out. Overall...I don't recommend it.

Heart rate question

Can I get the heart rate screen to,stay on during exercise? Is the font bigger than this? I don't like exercising in glasses.
I just finished a review about this. The actual interface screen size is about 50% of the actual face of the watch. At the moment there are only 4 faces to choose from. There is one that has larger, bold numbers for the time but not HR on the front screen. I believe you can see larger HR information if you select an activity mode like running or treadmill.

Music Player

Do you have to have your phone by you in order to play music or does this watch have space to upload playlists like the TomTom Spark+Music does? The TomTom has 3GB of space available for music and enables you to leave your phone at home.
No internal memory to load music, it is tethered via Bluetooth.
