Hi everybody! I don't usually uses blaze while I work. I put it on the table. After about four hours, the blaze turned to 60% batteries from 100%. Any power-down mode can I use in the blaze?

Tried all these suggestions. Still battery is lasting less than 4 hours. Very frustrated as this product has such great potential. Well thought out, really want to use it but the battery performance has turned me off the brand now. So disappointed.

The battery can be changed. Fitbit won't do it for you, even for a fee. But you can find little kits 1 battery a couple of cheap-but-adequate tools. $15 or so on fleabay. I say take that and a case of decent beer to your local makerspace, you'll find someone happy to do that swap and maybe you'll make some new nerdfreinds. Or any TV repair person, most ham radio operators etc can do this trivially simple soldering job for you.
If you own a fruit phone, a watch from them will cost only a few hundred $. If you don't, their watch will run you well over $1000, because they force you to use one of their phones with it. There are other smart watch brands out there too.
Many options out there other than volunteering to get fitbit'ed.

The thing is that the Blaze is getting quite old now depending on when you purchased it and the buzzer would tax the battery quite a bit. Batteries only have a defined life depending on the number of charge/recharge cycles and at some point it will not hold a charge for long.
It is disappointing that Fitbit do not offer a battery replacement service when there are replacements and instructions on the internet to do it yourself.

Fitbit does not offer a replacement battery, but they are readily available
online. It is apparently not a difficult fix, although it does involve some
soldering.

In fact, I see you can now get 160 mAh batteries. Not long ago, the ones sized to fit mechanically were all 120's, hence killed by the blaze's too-fast charging circuit even faster than the factory 167.

I gave up on Fitbit Blaze. Don't need it.
Thanks Recovery Runner for your input.😊
