First...I love my blaze.  However, I have been having such trouble with "active minutes".  I can work out like crazy and end up with 0 active minutes.  I've tried everything, but the weirdest thing of all just happened to me:  I looked at my blaze and I had a very acceptable 71 minutes.  I was so happy.  Then, without the warning they decreased to 41...just boom, like that.  What is going on?  Has anyone had similar experiences with this.  Perhaps active minutes are just not dependable?

My active minutes haven't been displaying on my Blaze since Sunday. Walking/ running seems to trigger active minutes but not biking or other activities. However, the dash on the fitbit site is accurate.

 

I'll just add that I had no problems with it up until Sunday.

I have to say the same.  Even though I wondered about accuracy at least they showed up.  Something must be going on?

MY blaze hasnt been synching properly for 2 months or more. Call me a cynic but theres a new release and hey presto.....features related to the old tracker stop working. Mine has lost active minutes in that case i have them if i go to todays tallies on my phone - but when i synch days later they vannish. Or they dont register al all even when it registers ive been active for 250 steps-go figure!. The is even after ive logged  e.g a yoga class. Inbuult obsolescence is a real thing companies use  like apple to get you to update -but any manuufacturer worth their salt knows it only alienates  users  - because when they are looking for a new tracker, the increasing unreliability  means i personally, and my friends are all looking at e.g the garmin. If this is how they treat customers, by not fixing the app &/or watch  software issues, then im going to take my loyalty elsewhere.

I'm not upset with Fitbit.  I frankly, love my fitbit Blaze.  But, there apparently is something odd going on with active minutes.  I focus on the active minutes more because it is my main goal.  I wondered if maybe there was something I wasn't doing to make it work correctly.
