Blaze accuracy versus Flex

[bgalcor]

I am wearing 2 fitbit devises signed in to 2 accounts to see how they compare. I've got a blaze on my non dominant wrist and a flex on the other. After a half day, my blaze is at 3500 steps and the flex is at over 5000.they are both at sensitive setting. How do I get the blaze closer to the flex?

@bgalcor I would suggest doing a calibrated test - check your trackers to see what # of steps the say, then walk a known # of steps (say 100), check the trackers again and see if each added 100. Might be the Flex is not accurate and is over compensating your total step count. I've found my Blaze to be quite accurate. For instance I ran a half marathon and did NOT put my Blaze into Connected GPS, just used the SmartTrack feature and it accurately calculated the exact distance I ran (same as my Garmin GPS watch) based on steps multipled by stride length:

@bgalcor but how do they compare during a walk? Just put them into tracking mode next time you take a walk.

How do I put them into tracking mode? These are great ideas... Maybe my flex has always been inflated!

I will do this! Thanks for the tip and congrats on your half marathon!

Tracking mode for the Fitbit Flex is the same as sleep mode. For the blaze is swipe over to exercise - tap - swipe to walk - tsp - then start.
The step count for the flex will show up in your exercise log after the sync
