My husband loves this watch!!! He has an older model that has been worn everyday for the last 2 years. This watch is so sturdy and stays charged for days, he previously had an Apple Watch but prefers this one. The set comes with extra bands, screen saver and everything you will need. Great purchase!!!! Read more

I sold my Apple Watch and got this watch. I have really liked it and haven’t regretted selling my Apple Watch. This is a really tough watch and I’m so thankful for that. It has every thing l used with my apple and I’ve been impressed with this watch. I love all the watch faces you can choose. Great watch for a good price! Read more

Purchased the Carbinox Blaze S smartwatch to replace a $35 no-name smartwatch that had lasted five years before the sensors stopped detecting steps. Started wearing it with their metal link band daily in February 2025, and it still works fine. The main menu on the watch has several customizable options for how it is presented, I stick with a list as the icons for each function are quite small and hard to identify without the textual descriptions. Navigation is by activating the screen with a button press, and swiping to access the function area desired. The lower button's function is customizable, for quick access to a specific feature. The good: - Sturdy construction, reasonably easy to adjust the metal link band due to extra parts and tool included - Long battery life, depending on the features selected (periodic monitoring of BP, Blood Oxygen %, Stress, Mood, Sleep, Always-On Display) - Large variety of watch faces available through their app - AMOLED screen allows for Always-On Display feature with some extra battery usage, feature is optional for maximizing battery life - Screen is bright and vibrant, and easy to see in sunlight outdoors as long as brightness is set above minimum setting - Notifications for text messaging and phone calls appear on the screen. I do not use the watch to actually conduct the phone call, since my phone is typically with me The bad: - Sometimes misses capturing Sleep, despite resizing the band to ensure a good fit - Initial configuration with creating a Carbinox account through email validation took several tries, as receiving the email took much longer than the allowed 15 minutes for the confirmation link to be valid - Music player control seems to be limited to a few predefined apps - App suddenly stopped allowing me to turn off the "Sedentary Reminder" feature, although I could selectively turn off the other Health monitoring. - BP as detected by the watch is laughably inaccurate, I typically record with an arm-cuff BP monitor twice a day in the month or two leading up to a doctor's appointment. The Carbinox BP always detected a much higher BP than what the arm-cuff BP monitor did. The ugly: - Contacted Carbinox support via email - the ONLY way to contact them, regarding the Sedentary Reminder feature not retaining the On/Off setting. Received a curt reply from them the next day that support is limited to those that purchase their products directly, not those who purchase through Amazon. Amazon has no idea what is going on with their app, as they were not responsible for writing it, so I have a permanently-on Sedentary Reminder. I'm glad that there are not any more-serious issues with the watch. Tips: - If you're interested in the Always-On Display feature, use one of the purpose-built watch faces in the "AOD Watch Face" collection in their app, which is typically black and white/grey. You can have a secondary "colorful" watch face that is accessed by pressing one of the buttons on the watch. The colorful watch faces use more battery power than the AOD watch faces, so while you can technically use a colorful watch face as your Always-On watch face, it will use battery much faster. You can define a global start and stop time for the Always-On Display feature to save battery when you're typically asleep, but this is not customizable on a per-day basis. - If sleep tracking seems to not record the whole night's sleep, give the app some time to process the data. I've seen changes to the Sleep total after ten or fifteen minutes' processing. - If any of the health tracking modes fail to track periodic data (Heart Rate, BP, Blood Oxygen %, Mood, Stress, Sleep, Steps), troubleshoot by rebooting your phone and checking the app. If still no data is tracking, restart the watch. I have only had to do this once since using the watch (10 months +). All in all, I like the Carbinox Blaze S, it seems very well built to withstand daily abuse and with the above caveats seems to perform well. It looks good, and feels good on my wrist. Battery life is quite good as long as periodic BP monitoring is turned off (it's woefully inaccurate anyway). If Carbinox releases an updated/enhanced watch, I would definitely consider getting one with the round screen. Read more

Good quality, love the tracking woth GPS to keep an accurate track of my walks, love the tools on it as well, really nice watch. The step count I would say is fairly accurate at times but at times I'll walk around the house for 5min and it will only say I walked 5 steps. It also struggled keeping my real number of steps during the time change. It doesnt sync fast with the app so sometimes you have to do it manually. The app is easy to use, but if you start a workout in the app, it does only tell you your stats in km instead of miles which is odd even though I have it set to miles. Battery life is actually worse on this that the ranger. I had the Ranger model before this and I didnt need to charge it for 2, sometimes 3 weeks. The blaze uses so much battery when working out that I have to charge it sometimes 2 times a week. I wish it would connect to other apps, especially the regular Carbinox app, I lost all my old step counts when I switched watches. I would say this watch is a nice durable watch but battery could be better. Id still recommend it to my friends and family Read more

Had this watch for a couple of months now. It’s taken a beating over that time and proven how durable it truly is. No issues connecting with my phone or using the Carbinox app. I can’t say for certain the claims of how long the battery lasts, but that is because I have turned on multiple settings that will reduce the battery drain. Even so, I can normally use the watch for a constant 2-3 days before I charge. With that, the battery never even fell lower than about 40 percent. Charges rapidly and alerts well for alarms, phone calls, or phone notifications. I actually use it as my backup alarm in case my phone alarm doesn’t go off. It saved me a couple of times from being late for work. Haven’t tested it in deep water or anything, but I wash my hands at least 12 times per day, and no issues with water. I don’t do hikes or runs like I used to, but the steps and daily activity trackers seem accurate when compared to what is being tracked with my phone, as well as what my averages looked like from previous smartwatches. Glad I gave this watch a chance and won’t be turning back. Gotten a few compliments on the look of the watch and many were surprised when I told them the price. Read more

Great smart watch, I was expecting it to arrive on Tuesday, and it was delivered on Monday. It was easy to set up, and have been wearing it since then, 3 days of changing watch faces, checking my BP, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, along with it counting my steps, and the battery is still at 70 %. I never thought I would wear a smart watch, and now I don't know if I will ever put my Citizen watch back on. Read more

Just received my Carbinox today and I’m having fun with the setup. More things in the order than I imagined. Easy charging setup and great instructions. I bought this mainly for a heart rate onitor but this is so much more. Read more
