Thoughts? I was looking at them and like the look of the Alta, but would miss the heart rate I think.

    I like my Charge HR and don't care about fashion, so I wouldn't give up the HR function. However, the Alta has one feature that I would like to see added to the Charge HR - the reminder to move.

    The Blaze has it all, with GPS, so that is appealing.

    Actually, the Blaze doesn't appear to include the "Reminders to Move" function. Plus, while I'm not interested in fashion, I still think it would be too big on my wrist. And (although I don't care too much about this feature), I believe it doesn't have built in GPS - it has to get it from your phone.

    The Blaze does not have true GPS as the Surge does. Instead, the Blaze uses "Connected GPS". So you will need to connect the Blaze with your smartphone during runs, ect. in order for GPS to work. For me it doesn't really matter since I never go out without my iPhone anyway. Those wanting a standalone GPS tracker will have to stick to the FB Surge for now.

    I have the Surge and will GLADLY resort to the Blaze and "Connected GPS" just so I can get a watch band that doesn't break me out in a rash when I want to do sleep tracking.
