Overall and Final Verdict
Taking a look at both of the accessories that Verizon sent over has been interesting. As much as I did like the Bose SoundLink Mini II, it was the Fitbit Blaze that really caught my eye. It offers a great way get notifications from your mobile phone and keep an eye on the time without being rude and checking your phone constantly. More importantly, Fitbit has managed to merge what is great with Fitbits into a proper watch form factor. It doesn’t exactly have the same features as a smartwatch, but it's not far off. You end up with a high-tech watch and a smart band in one and it is comfortable and you have a wide selection of band options available as well. The software and social integration that makes all Fitbits good is still there and you also have on the fly heart rate tracking. Really the only downside I ran into when using it was the odd charging setup that could take a few tips from the smart watch industry and be much easier to charge. Beyond that the only other downside is that my wife loved the Blaze so much that once I send this one back to Verizon, I'm going to have to pick one up for here.
