Next, inside the little box is the charging container. While the other half of it reminds you to take your Fitbit Blaze off and wash your wrist once in a while so you don’t get a rash.

Once you take off its outer clothing, you’ll find the watch inside, nestled in a protective layer, with a small box of goodies below it. However, for the purposes of this post, I’m just gonna keep things clean and simple and focus on just the standard Fitbit Blaze itself. There are numerous things one could unbox when it comes to the Fitbit Blaze, depending on what (if any) accessory bands you purchase. With that – let’s dive into things! Unboxing: If you want to support the blog – you can check out the links at the end of the page. Fitbit provided a test unit (and a flotilla of straps), that I’ll send back here shortly, like usual. 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). The company positioned it as a smart fitness watch, aiming to offer something midway between the higher-end GPS-enabled Fitbit Surge, and the more simplistic Fitbit Charge HR ( and now the Alta). 4.Almost exactly two months ago at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Fitbit announced their latest higher-end wearable, the Fitbit Blaze.

When you are working out, you should be wearing your Blaze a little higher on your arm. The biggest difference you will notice is during workouts. Fitbit recommends that you wear the tracker on your non-dominant arm (so lefties will wear it on their right wrist, and vice versa) for comfort and accuracy. So, do yourself a favor and make sure you are wearing your Fitbit correctly. But lots of people don't seem to follow these guidelines.įitbit is great at tracking your activity, and the Blaze even has auto-sport tracking, but none of this is going to be as accurate as it can be if your Fitbit isn't the right size, on the correct wrist, or worn in the right place. The instructions that come in the box or the Fitbit website (opens in new tab), and even us here at iMore have talked about how to wear your tracker. There is such a thing as wearing your Fitbit incorrectly. When Fitbit notifies you that John has just surpassed your daily step count, you are going to want to stop what you are doing and reach that goal to rub it in his face.Ī little friendly competition is good, and it will motivate, which means you will be reaching your goals more often.
