The Surge is a bit thicker than many other GPS watches today though. It is thinner than the Fitbit Surge, as seen below. You’ll notice they’re all roughly similar: Or, the leather strap makes it even lighter – at 39g:Īs for sizing, it’s pretty much in the ballpark of other units on the market from a watch face perspective. However, if you change to the metal strap, it comes in at 103g: For reference, this is within a few grams of Garmin’s GPS-enabled Forerunner 230, 235 and 630 series. Using the default straps, it comes in at 44g (slightly less for the small size). The weight of the Fitbit Blaze is totally dependent on which strap you buy. Ok, with that – we’ve unboxed the unit and a few of the accessory straps, let’s get on with some size comparisons. Speaking of which, if you get (i.e., buy) the metal band ones – you’ll need to either bring it to a jeweler to add/remove links, or save yourself from ever having to go back again and buy one of these $3 tools. The strap has a nice little quick-release lever on it, so it’s pretty easy to do. You can also change the straps on pod holders too – using different straps that you purchase. The way it works is that the pod inside pops out, allowing you to change bands quickly and easily. It’s honestly a bit wonky and totally unlike anything I’ve seen before (and not in a good way). This is like a protective cocoon to charge your Fitbit Blaze pod in. 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. The first half of which basically tells you how to not kill your Fitbit.
Inside the paper envelope, we’ve got…paper. 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). Almost exactly two months ago at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Fitbit announced their latest higher-end wearable, the Fitbit Blaze.
