Does anyone use a Fit-bit watch like the blaze? How do you like it? I want one with a GPS so I can track my runs!

I had one and returned it. I liked it, but was looking for a little more. It doesn't have built in GPS so you'll have to carry your phone when running. I found it to be a bit fragile for my activities, and it isn't waterproof. I went with a Garmin and never looked back.0

Blaze does a good job with the heart rate monitor but lacks GPS. I don't find it to be a problem because I always run with my phone for tracking, pace with Runtastic and music.1

The fitbit surge has a gps but if thats what youre mainly looking for in a watch I would go with a garmin or tomtom. I have a fitbit Charge HR and I LOVE it but I don't tend to track my run routes very often, and I don't mind taking my phone out when I do.2

My wife has the Blaze and likes it however I'm going to go for the Garmin Vivoactive HR as it has a GPS and also supports pool swimming.1

I have the Garmin Fenix 3 HR which I consider to be be the best one out there. That said if you need to keep it more reasonable the Vivoactive HR is also a great choice.2

I have a Blaze. It's cool for some activities but do not work for ALL of my workouts. Now I use my old Fitbit Flex for some workouts and use the Blaze for other general activities.1

Thanks! I do use my Polar FT7 HRM and love it! Just looking to see what's out there if I need to change. I also use my phone to track steps and use the app C25K!0

Heard a lot about the Fitbits breaking or having issues with the strap. I went for a Garmin Forerunner 35 - has the features I need and didn't break the bank. The optical HRM seems to work well and saves me from having to worry about wearing a chest strap. I liked the look of the FR235 but couldn't justify the price as I'm just starting out.1
