The all new Fitbit blaze is not just your everyday ordinary smartwatch. Designed for fitness, the company adds a little dash of fashion to keep its users up to date not just with their daily activities but with the fab trend as well.

One of the leading brands in smart watch technology is the Fitbit. It just released its new state of the art smartwatch, the Blaze. This watch tracks more than a dozen different activities that the user engages. On the outside the blaze is hard to categorize, it has an octagonal face with a stainless steel body and an elastic band. Fitbit made it its first colored touchscreen watch. But looking further, the Blaze can be interchange with different bands and frames and can be used as a pop-out tracker.

It's clear and strong what the Blaze is capable of doing.  It track s daily steps, calories burned, sleep, and a variety of different exercises, 15 to be exact. The data on these activities can be shared wirelessly through iOS, Android or Windows phone, tablet, or even a desk top.

It also keeps users on point with different aerobic activities like running, volleyball, basketball, soccer and elliptical machine work outs. It just simply means that the watch will monitor its users every move. Although the Blaze doesn't have GPS capabilities it can utilize the GPS of other smartphones. It also has an optical heart rate sensor which takes the users heart rate before and after work outs giving them a more accurate reading.

Like all other smart watches, it also offers the basics like call, text, and other notifications. Users can also use it to control the music playing in any smartphone. Fitbit just went into business last June but is showing the industry that it can bring something into the market. Last year they introduced three different models the Charge, The Charge HR and the Surge, giving its fans more reasons to watch out for anything they pull out under their sleeves.
