Fitbit is the market leader when it comes to fitness trackers, with a wide range of devices to suit pretty much every need. The Blaze, however, is a little harder to pin down.

Fitbit has a problem. Once you've dominated a market, where do you go from there? Even before it launched the $199 Blaze (and the $129 Alta), it already had six different fitness trackers, which captured more than 70 percent of all devices sold.With the B...

This week they started shipping units out to consumers, though I've been using one for a few weeks now – getting the hang of things and figuring out what works well (and what doesn't). Fitbit provided a test unit (and a flotilla of straps), that I'll send...

The Fitbit Blaze has the potential to be an awesome little watch – but the target audience is a bit mixed right now. At $200 it's at or above the price of numerous GPS watches (Garmin, Polar, TomTom units), and, it's only $50 below what the Apple Watch wa...

The $199.95 Fitbit Blaze is a fitness tracker that looks like a smartwatch. Somewhat of an upgrade to the Fitbit Charge HR, the Blaze automatically tracks activities, exercises, heart rate, and has a color touch screen that displays workout guidance and n...

First up is the new Fitbit Charge 2. This unit sits in the middle of Fitbit's product line-up, in terms of price and functionality. Whereas you have the Fitbit Flex 2 down below it from a price/functions standpoint, and then the Fitbit Blaze above it. Mea...
