The watch is growing on me the more I use it. With that said, it required me to pay attention to questions being asked and the solutions that were given. Example: I had trouble with music controls at first. Solution (hard reset watch): I haven't had ANY trouble since then. Also, it is important to understand those that it is marketed to... if you are an elite level athlete or just someone who is fastidious over the smallest of details regarding your workouts, this is not for you. Now...
What do I love about it? It's lightweight and super easy to sleep with (smart decision to make the watch wider opposed to thicker, which would have made it uncomfortable on the arm while sleeping); I have had no issues with battery life, and I use mine extensively throughout the work day (I think turning all day syncing off helped a lot); it is customizable and very fashionable imo (suitable for the gym, work, or a night out); it feels like it is made of high quality materials, and it looks that way too; the screen is vivid and responsive; it gives good information regarding steps, calories, etc on the watch; the notifications work for me just fine;it does what it is advertised to do and is a wonderful blend of fitness and fashion! Final thoughts: I love it!
Oh yeah, I trust the company and believe that they know and understand the need for more watch faces and are just taking their time to get some more of them PERFECT for us. Right, Fitbit?

I agree with you guys. I've had two other Fitbits, enjoyed interfacing with family and friends and it helped me to get off my butt and maybe get some extra steps in. It took some tweaking on my part for my iphone, the fitbit app, the watch settings and this very helpful and friendly forum to finally get it dialed in. I've been using it at the gym and love how I can select the various exercises and the watch will track my exercise. (I use Treadmill, Weights and Workout) Have used GPS a couple times with mixed results. Again I think some of the problems are myself
Still learning.

I think the verdict is still out on the connected GPS... I haven't used it yet, so I can't comment. However, I have read and seen pictures that show the inaccuracy of frequented routes of specific individuals. I read that the gps distance is not accurate because fitbit actually uses your estimated (or entered) stride length to determine the distance you've covered... Not sure if that is entirely true or if I am missing some more info, but I have seen it mentioned a couple times.

I love it. I wish it had more windows support, but its easy enough to work around. Just having it is helping me develop my fitness habits. Having music control at my wrist is super convienent at work too.

I have had mine since Wednesday, and am really enjoying it. I have battled through the Android maze and gotten notifications to work, and have used the connected GPS and the music controls, all of which worked just great. My minor complaint is it not being able to connect to my Windows 10 PC. My major complaint is dual in that the vibration level is so slight I can't use it for alarms, nor do I always know when one of those notifications is made; in turn, I would like to have the option of the screen lighting up when a notification comes in.

It isn't perfect, and it still has some bugs to work out, but I think all that can and will be taken care of with updates. What they got right from the beginning-- in my opinion-- is the look and feel of the watch. I've had a lot of compliments and questions about it since I've put it on. I like that people are admiring it and are interested. It is also super comfortable, and I often forget that I am wearing it.
I've had no issues with the vibration. It wakes me up each time, and I always feel it going off; I even think that it can be excessive at times ( in number). With that said, I have never owned another fitbit device, so I don't have a standard of comparison. I am glad to see others are enjoying it, though!

I've had mine a week now and am really loving it.
The Blaze, the iphone App and website have all helped me watch my steps, food and start to get fitter.
There are loads of little improvements I would like to see (virbation, ability to 'read' notifications and then update them on the phone) but all in all I am very happy.

I'm really happy with everything on mine except for the distance being short compared to my previous Fitbits (this seems to be a common complaint).

I have had mine for 2 weeks now. I set it to lose 1 lb. per week and have been logging and tracking everything, and in 2 weeks I have lost 2.2 lbs. so far. I would say it is pretty darn accurate at estimating calories.
The best thing for me is being able to do everything needed in a single app.
Great device, and my favorite thus far.
