Fitbit is the go-to brand for fitness trackers, but most of their devices are plain and boring looking. Fitbit finally introduced a stylish looking fitness tracker, the Fitbit Blaze at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Just after the holidays, when we all relax and eat too much, comes the New Year, when we all vow to get back into shape. That reliable phenomenon makes fitness trackers a great gadget gift. Especially this year, now that the market has matured and is full of solid choices.
As expected, a big theme in this year's Consumer Electronics Show was wearables - particularly watches and wristbands - trying to enter the mainstream. What were niche gadgets or curiosities for early adopters in 2013 are now poised to come to a store near you, if they can convince critics and the general public of their mainstream appeal now.
