Blaze step counting accuracy

[walkymcwalk]

I just got a Blaze. I was using the Flex before. With the Blaze it seems like my step total is quite a bit higher on average than it was with the Flex. Was the Flex not counting all my steps as accurately, or is the BLaze handing out freebies?? I want to know that i should just trust what the Blaze is telling me. (for the most part.)

@walkymcwalk, what you can do (what I did) is when I first got the Blaze, I set it up on a different account and wore them both on the same hand. I actually found that the Blaze was between 5 and 10% lower than my Flex! I think there are still some kinks that need to be worked out with the Blaze software, but I know Fitbit is working on it. Overall, I've been very happy with the Blaze. The other interesting thing I found out was that even though the steps were lower, the calorie count between the two was pretty spot on.
