Calories burned without the watch

[SunsetRunner]

I take away my Blaze every night to sleep because I don’t like to sleep with something in my wrist. However, every morning when I put my Blaze back I realize some calories burned (measured), like 400 or 500 calories, but in fact it is impossible once during all the night the watch was in the table. Important fact is that I take away before midnight, so after midnight the counters erase. It should be 0 (zero) on every measurements.

I think your Blaze is working fine.

As well as tracking calories you burn through activity, your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings (age, weight etc) so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing is the total BMR calories since midnight. There's more information on this here:

I got it.
In my point of view is inaccurate once is an estimation. How can something be measured outside my wrist? Moreover, it is impossible to someone burn 500 calories sleeping. The fact is that my daily tracking becomes unfair.

Thanks for the support but for me does not make sense.

Your BMR based on the idea that you are sitting or laying still, so a tracker is not needed for this measurement. Fitbit could remove this data, but how will it help those trying to loose weight? Take a look at a BMR calculater, BMR has a lot to do with weight, age, height, gender.

@mrref your fitbit is working fine. See my post #2 in this thread for an explanation
