Blaze losing its charge

[Lawless496]

This is my second blaze. It was working perfectly until a few days ago. Now it won’t hold a charge for 8 hours. Sounds like a software issue when the blaze syncs and updates. I’m done with Fitbit. There are other products out there that work better and appreciate my business.

I'm having the same issue.  My first two Fitbits, Charge 2R, also both failed early on.  Fitbit was standing behind products early on; not so sure now.  I agree with you that its time to use a different brand.

Same here!  I don't know what to do.  I checked the forums, reset, charged some more, removed my Blaze from my account, then tried to reconnect but I'm getting nothing!

Since so many of us are having this issue at the same time, hopefully there will be a recall otherwise, it's finally time to go for me and my family as well.

Shame, we have used Fitbits for more than 5 years!

I bought an Apple watch yesterday. I got the 3 series at Walmart for 199. I'm already very pleased with how much more it can do, and it looks nicer too. I had a fitbit 2R, which had to be replaced (and the company did, to their credit) 2 times. When the 3rd one failed too soon, I switched to Blaze hoping it would do better, but I'm just short of a year, and now it won't hold a charge. I don't know hot fitbit stays in business.

Good luck

My Blaze has lost it’s charge too. I’m really disappointed as I have not had it that long. Does anyone know how long the warranty is?

I had my Blaze for about 1 1/2 years, when it went from lasting 4-5 days on a charge to 3 days and down to 1, within a few weeks.  Over the next couple of weeks, it wend to needing to be charged 2-3 times a day, and then just wouldn't charge at all.  I replaced the battery, but instead of lasting 4-5 days, it only lasted a day, but then quickly deteriorated from there.  The problem appears to be with the charging system of the watch, which shows a small blinking red bar, but then after charging only a few minutes, it shows a full charge, but will only last 30-60 minutes.  I believe if the charging system would allow a full charge of the battery, that it would last at least a few days.  I was so happy with my Blaze, that I bought my wife one for Christmas 2017, but shortly after this past Christmas, her Blaze started holding a charge for shorter and shorter periods, to where the display wouldn't come up, so I replaced the battery in it.  It vibrates when turning it on and connects to her phone, but the display is blank.  I switch her display with mine, and it still doesn't display, so the display not working isn't due to me damaging the ribbon to the display, so I have no idea why her Blaze won't display following a battery replacement.  So, after spending nearly $200 on each Blaze in a little over two years, neither one is operational, and I'm not seeing anything in any of the Fitbit Forums that is helping to get either Blaze working.  I'm also seeing that my experience is not unique to me, so I also wonder how Fitbit stays in business and will likely buy an Apple Watch.
