A:AnswerI have the blaze and it works well. Isn’t bulky and does the job when I workout. I preferred blaze over Alta for the notifications. If looking for an affordable product and you don’t need the notifications, I would say Alta. I have never used Alta but read reviews and my blaze works just fine.
