Fitbit Takes on the Apple Watch with the Blaze
- epmatsw 11y agoFitbit lost me as a customer a while ago with how locked down their data is. Why buy this instead of a Pebble, an Android Wear device, or an Apple Watch, all of which have a comparable feature set and price, longer track record, and better data portability?
- joefarish 11y agoI think it's crazy that they have made more of an effort to support iOS/Android notifications

- brlewis 11y agoData portability is a non-issue: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Web-API/How-can-I-get-minute-and-second-level-data/m-p/324362#U324362 https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Web-API/How-can-I-get-minute...
- pcurve 11y agoThe metal version looks like Casio watch I wore in the 80s. I think it's fine for a fitness device to look like a fitness device. But once it starts looking like a watch, you'd better make sure it looks device as a fashion accessory.
- seivan 11y agoI can't code my own software on it and it doesn't sync to HealthKit. More than satisfied with the Apple Watch.
- adajos 11y agoI use the Sync Solver app to push my FitBit data into HealthKit. http://syncsolver.com/ http://syncsolver.com/ I have both an Apple Watch and a FitBit Surge. The Apple Watch is the better smart watch, but the Surge is a much better fitness device and you can actually see workout data in a meaningful way. At this point, I definitely need both.
