Shipping Dates for the Blaze

[steener06]

Will the Blaze ship directly from the Fitbit website store the day it is released in stores or Amazon? or will they ship days before so it hopefuly or will arrive the day its relased everywhere else? What im getting at is on Amazon, you can pay 3.99$ (with prime memebership) and get free over night shipping there for getting the product WAY before "standard shipping" from the Fitbit website. That is unless Fitbit will ship it ahead of time.

Yes, I did the update about 20 minutes ago. It took a good 10 minutes or so. When you push the tracker out of the frame from the top and bottom (near the bands, not buttons). It will pop out easy like this. Otherwise you notice the screen kind of squashing a bit beneath your fingers

What is your first impression(s) of it??  Since I don't get mine until next week, I have to live vicariously through you who get it first.

I am offically a stalker now!  Mine just says Label Created and I am obsessively checking it all day.  Im super excited that they are shipping it so soon.  I was hoping for middle of March but by the way everyone was talking but thinking it would be end of March before I got it.

It is really nice. The silver frame is pretty nice looking and super light. The whole thing is really light weight. I just hope it is durable since it is not waterproof.

[Saaaypants21]

I'm right there with you. I have a feeling that I won't get my blaze until
3/15.

[Surina81]

Did you get any other bands with it.  I ordered the silver leather one and was wondering how they looked..

[ChaneRZ]

Fedex out for delivery. Can't wait.

I just received my watch. It is nice and light. It's setting up now

[Gunafish]

No I only got the black band that comes with it. It has a lot of different screens so it is taking a bit to figure out. the setup was easy but the charging device feels a little cheap. We'll see how long it lasts. There are 4 different clock screens I see to pick from and the battery is in the top right of the screen which is nice to know how the batter life is doing!!

I am updating mine right now, I may need some help with this once I get down as there doesn't seem to be much documentation with the device at all. I like the thinness of it and the screen is so clear. Definitely not what I expected.

[Gunafish]

It really is nice!! It syncs pretty easy but has so much variation for set up. It is super customizable compared to the charge HR I have been using

Congrats Gunafish
I'm soon jealous. I wish I was you.

[Gunafish]

the smart feautures are nice and right on time. if only the weather was included!!

Don't forget there is this link https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Blaze/Get-help-for-your-Fitbit-Blaze/m-p/1196410#U1196410

I am sure I'll be referring to it quite often when I get mine.

Do you think the screen will scratch easily? I saw some screen protectors on amazon, wonder if it would effect responsiveness.

Is it mondo huge compared to your charge hr? 

I get mine Friday, according to the ship manifest 🙂

[ChaneRZ]

Just received mine. Updating now. So far I like it! I have the Blue small band and it is thinner than the Surge. Fits so nicely. 

[Bmuscari]

The smart notifications are fast, screen is bright and it seems to be pretty accurate with step count while walking normal. Only downfall for me is the band. I'm not a fan of how stiff fitbit bands are. I replaced my band with my basis peak band. Just a preference thing but I think it looks and feels better.

Glad to see some updates from Blaze users already! Thanks for giving us early reviews!

[Bvanlaeke]

Recieved My Blaze at about 8:15 last night. Was using the Surge before this and the weight and size is clearly a big difference; where the Surge feels kinda bulky the Blaze feels light and pretty slim. Like others have said the only thing I don't like about the device thus far is how cheap the charger feels. Worked out with it last night and enjoyed it. 

Any questions feel free to ask!

Mine arrived about an hours ago and was shocked as I did not expect it till mid March!

Screen is very nice.  Had above 50% of the battery when arrived.  Needed to do the 7+ minute update and all is working perfectly.  Synced my Charge HR and then removed it from the app and the Blaze was found quickly and uploaded all my days data.

I think FitBit has a winner here!
