Blaze battery draining

[HappyHaviator]

I have had my Blaze since March. Generally I see 4 to 5 days battery life when I wear it all day. I have Heart rate = auto, Brightness = auto, 5/9 hours activity target and the rest of the stuff (alerts, quick view, Bluetooth tracking, all day sync etc) all turned off. I take it off at night. Sometimes, it has now happened 3 times, it starts to run the battery down in around 24 hours. I have noticed that when it does this it has been lighting up the display without any of the buttons being pressed regularly. It seems to be awake about 25% of the times I go to press a button to see how I am doing with my daily targets. If I put it on charge when the red battery indicator lights it charges to full in about 2.5 hours but runs down again in 24 hours. This state seems to persist until I let the battery run so flat that either the Blaze won't wake up or it loses the time setting. If I recharge it at that point it returns to 4 to 5 days battery life. I am sure that the buttons don't get pressed by accident, it happens when I am wearing short sleeved clothing, and I cannot press the buttons by bending my wrist, I have tried!

Does anyone from Fitbit read this forum? I might be just preaching to deaf ears and getting some typing practice.

I don’t think anyone from Fitbit reads this or cares to be of help to people who already paid their money.  It shows up in retailer’s sales losses from returns and not Fitbits growth.

@GoGarmin there are a Few Moderators that are employed by Fitbit, and occasionally i see a comment from a developer. 

The Mods do not try and scour the board to answer every message, this is called a community board and is setup to allow and encourage Fitbit users to help each other out. If @HappyHaviator wants an answer directly from Fitbit it would be best to ask Fitbit, not the comunity of Fitbit users.

Contact info for Fitbit support may be found under help (link below or in the app), it also may be found in the top right of this page.
