Last year was a big one for Fitbit.<br />In April, Apple threw down the gantlet to wearables and fitness-tracker makers with the Apple Watch, and in June Fitbit went public in a larger-than-expected initial public offering.<br />With its first major release since these milestones, Fitbit has come out swinging by introducing the Blaze, the company's first smartwatch with some fashion sense.<br />The silver and black watch definitely looks a little like its fruit-branded competitor, but it sports an open lug design that makes it appear a little lighter on the wrist.<br />The Blaze isn't a smartwatch that you can weight down with apps or customize to organize your entire digital life.<br />It is primarily meant to be a detailed fitness tracker that can be worn all the time, offering a few additional features for convenience.
