I really like the Blaze. It's a nice change of pace from Android Wear or the Apple Watch. It's not a great smart watch but it is a very nice fitness tracker. Notification support has a long way to go – hopefully the recent Vector and Pebble acquisitions w...

Fitbit calls the $199 Blaze a "smart fitness watch." But while I like the on-screen FitStar workouts, there's little much else to recommend the device. For the record, I don't think it's ugly, but its angular design will be off-putting for many. While sma...
