The device will bet on the 5 days of autonomy, more than you get any 'smartwatch'.

The manufacturer of electronic bracelets for measuring physical activity Fitbit Tuesday launched the Blaze best smart watches, which competes with the Apple Watch. The company made the announcement at the largest fair of consumer technology in the world, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held this week in Las Vegas (EE. UU.).

The clock, which goes on sale in March, will be marketed starting at $ 199, almost half the price of the cheapest version of the smart wristwatch Apple. Fitbit also announced that the battery lasts five days, above the 18 o'clock Apple.

Blaze allows to monitor physical activity, and accept or reject phone calls, read text messages or check the calendar entries, among other functions, but does not allow, for example, access Facebook or make payments like other smart watches.

David Goldman, an analyst with US television network CNN said that these constraints could make the clock is not competitive.

Blaze Fitbit does all it can do a 'bluetooth smart watch' full, such as installing applications. It focuses on telling time, deliver notifications and above all keep track of physical activity, steps, hours of sleep. It is basically a quantifier of 'fitness' adapted to fashion.

The 'software' also includes some new features: now is able to automatically distinguish what type of exercise is being done. It is compatible with Android and iOS, but its disadvantage is not having GPS.
