Previously was using Withing product.  Made the change to Blaze and I never take if off except to shower.  Recently it started buzzing way more than normal.  Checked and found a new thing called Relax.  I saw that it had a setting for Vibration.  I turned it off but it still continues to buzz a lot. It appears to be checking my blood pressure almost all the time.

My resting rate was generally in the mid to upper 50's.  Now it is higher in part because I am finding the continual buzzing very annoying.  Any idea what is going on.  Just checked and my rate was 57 but after more buzzing it jumped to 61. Again, any idea what is going on.

Welcome to the forum.

 

The relax feature needs to be turned on and its checking the heart rate not blood pressure. Could something you are wearing be tuning it on by accident? Shirt sleeve? Except once you turn it on you need to tap it to continue.

 

Try a restart. Do it at least 3 times.

I was not wearing anything that could have interfered with the blaze.

Did the reset 3 times as suggested and it appeared to work , but only for a short while.

Finally took it off and put another watch.

Found out that the buzzing continued which was impossible as it was a Timex I have had for years. 

Finally just stopped wearing anything on my left arm, but buzzing continued.

I had been wearing the Blaze 24 hours a day, since I bought it, only taking it off for showers.

Realized that the nerves in my wrist and left arm have been affected.

Not sure what is going on.

I iced my arm the rest of the day and all night and it appears a little better.

For now not wearing any watch on my left arm.

Will discuss with my chiropractor next week.
