Blaze, battery issues

[Myexperience]

I bought the Fitbit Blaze last Friday and I have a terrible experience with the battery that drains extremely fast though I am not using it excessively. Battery is supposed to last up to five days. I charged it again on Saturday, Sunday after it drained completly, today Monday as well. I have the latest version with the software. I am returning it by end of this week with a bid disapointment. My impression is that this generation of Blaze is quite young and still needs a couple of years to be peforming.

You must have a defective one.  My Blaze lasts at least 4 days before I have to charge it.

I don't have any issues with battery drains. I'm hitting +10K daily steps and can use my blaze up to 7 days. Maybe get your blaze back to the shop and they can help you out.

I would also suggest bringing it back and exchanging it for a new one. I have heard of people with defective batteries. Also, do you have notifications on? I have found that having notifications turns on drains the battery much faster.

That totally sux. Definitely sounds like you got a bad one. 

Mine arrived on a friday afternoon and naturally I charged it straight away. I have it set to monitor my heart rate constantly, naturally detect sleep and set so whenever I flick my wrist the screen turns on. I do have my screen reasonably low. I was at the Blaze constantly the first charge - couldn't leave it alone, like with any new 'toy'.....needing to know what my heart rate was doing, how many steps etc.

I didn't have to charge it again until the following wednesday afternoon! The next charge was the wednesday after that. 

So a good one should last more than what they say.

First have you done a restart by holding in both the left and lower right buttons.
You could contact.fitbit.com and have them look at the backend of the tracker.
My thoughts are also to take it back and exchange it, this would be the fastest way to get a fix.
