All in all, the Fitbit Blaze + the Microsoft band are something I would wear during my work week because of the smart alarm and the fact that I can read my email, texts and get calls.  I used the Fitbit HR on my days off as I don't want to be as connected I just need to get in fitness.

 

 

Let's get going!
