Fitbit’s activity trackers are some of the most popular around, but the chunky bracelets aren’t exactly easy on the eyes. Fitbit is changing that with Blaze, a new fitness-tracking watch with color touchscreen display that takes aim directly at Apple Watch (http://www.macworld.com/article/2916819/apple-watch-as-fitness-tracker-putting-activity-and-workout-through-their-paces.html).</p><p>
The $200 Blaze packs in a heart rate sensor for continuous heart rate tracking, automatic exercise recognition, multi-sport mode, and free personal trainer-guided workouts viewable directly on the watch’s screen. Like Apple Watch, Fitbit Blaze requires your phone to be nearby to connect to GPS and offer real-time distance and pace data. Unlike Apple Watch, Blaze lasts five days on a single charge, even with constant heart-rate monitoring, and it works with Android as well as iOS.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3019334/ces/fitbit-takes-on-apple-watch-with-new-blaze-fitness-watch.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
