    I have the blaze and love it. Although I did do a test comparison between it and the Zip; the blaze actually misses steps. Sometimes only 100 or so, but other days closer to 2000. It's pretty interesting since that's not what you'd expect from a wrist based tracker. I had the Surge prior to the Blaze and when I did the same experiment with it the steps were either the same or the Surge had up to 100 more (not a major difference imo). The band on my Surge started breaking around the year mark and that's why I have the Blaze now (replaceable bands). It doesn't have the built in GPS like the Surge does, but that's okay since I only used it a couple times over the course of a year anyway. The Blaze can connect to your phone and use your phone's GPS though (like how apple watch does it's GPS tracking). The color display is nice and it looks a lot nicer than the Surge does.

    I'd like to get a fitness watch for my birthday in September if not before so I was just wandering. I like how the blaze looks. One of my husbands Co workers has the blaze and loves it.

    I've had the zip for nearly 18mths, haven't had a problem with it. I've got the alta on lay-by now, can't wait. I like that it automatically picks up when you're exercising compared to normal everyday steps, and gives you reminders if you haven't taken enough steps, plus I've always wanted a sleep function. And last but not least, it's pretty :lol:

    Blaze is supposedly going to be getting a firmware update that will add this function to it as well.

    The blaze is too big and chunky looking for me, plus it's $300 :worried:

    Oh wow. It's $200 in the US, but was really mentioning for those considering the blaze.

    I don't care how big it is personally. I really like the way the screen looks. Pretty sure I'm getting the blaze when I get the money.
