Blaze bad battery

[JeffMaples]

 My Blaze went from 4-5 days on battery life to 16 hrs on battery life.  I have turned off everything but the clock.  Don't seem to help at all. If I put it on the charger before the battery live is low it still changes the clock to the wrong time. I will never buy a Fitbit again.  It's not worth the price if you have to replace in every 9 months.

Same exact thing happened to me. Battery no longer holds charge. Fitbit support only states you (we) are not charging it correctly or some other nonsense. Offers 25% off towards the purchase of a new device which has the same battery and we'll have the same problem in 13 months as soon as the warranty is over.

I am moving on to Garmin, they have a few NEW watches with a replaceable battery. Battery does NOT need any charging and lasts for 12 months then you can replace it. These are two tiny watch batteries.

Check it out for your-self they are Garmin Vívofit 4 and 3.

PS: Fitbit support you can keep deleting my replies but this will not help you. Since you are not helping your customers and throwing them under the bus, I will continue to spread the truth via all social media about your bad batteries and Garmin's replaceable batteries.
