Fitbit Trying To Chase Apple

Fitbit introduced a new product, Fitbit Blaze, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It looks like the Apple Watch, and supports smartphone notifications in addition to fitness features. Is Fitbit’s attempt to make a hybrid fashionable/functional device successful? Reviewer Dan Frommer says he can’t see it taking off as a super stylish watch, “And without GPS (or being waterproof), it’s not something that’s going to appeal to the hardcore fitness crowd, like the Fitbit Surge.”
