If you want to wear one with a suit or a dressy outfit then the leather band fits well with that use case.Īlthough the watchface sits into its cradle, the bands attaching to this cradle are interchangeable. Different colour elastomer bands and the leather one can be purchased seperately. It may have been that the leather band is brand new and needs time to loosen up but in my time with the watch, I preferred the elastomer one. The leather band was less comfortable at this although it did look a lot better and stylish. The elastomer material band was actually my favourite band as it was extremely flexible and shaped well to my wrist. The Blaze I tested came with the standard “flexible, durable elastomer material similar to that used in many sports watches, and includes a surgical-grade stainless steel buckle and frame” and also a fairly expensive leather band as well.

The reason for that is the charger is a proprietary charging cradle that would be annoying to carry around all the time.Įven the best watch in the world is useless if it is uncomfortable or keeps falling off in my opinion. If you get this watch, do not leave it to chance. The problem was that it ran out of battery in the middle of the day because although Fitbit have finally included a battery meter on the watch itself (inside the menu items pages only though) it is tiny and does not show you the percentage of charge left on it.

It lasted around four full days wearing it 24/7. I used the Blaze with heart rate sensor on all the time just to check battery life. Instead it uses the GPS on your phone so you cannot go phone-less on any runs. For a fitness watch that is meant to be top of their range I would have expected a GPS chip.

Inside the watch is Bluetooth 4.0LE, an optical heart rate sensor, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, vibration motor but NO GPS chip. They do not feel that sturdy as they are attached to the back/watchface cradle and are designed to push into the sockets for those functions on the removable watchface. There are three buttons on the watch itself, of which one is an on and back button and the other two are for use within certain training regimes. The build quality is solid and feels mid to high end. The display is easy to see in daylight which is often the biggest downfall of many smartwatches and phones but kind of essential for a watch that is designed to be used as a fitness aid.
