I'm questioning the accuracy of my fitbit. This had been a problem for a while, even when I had the charge 2. I now have a Blaze. After an hour long workout with a combination of cardio and strength training, my fitbit says I only burned 214 calories, whereas my boyfriend's fitbit says he burned more than 700 calories. Which is correct? Are they both inaccurate? Is there a setting I'm missing?

You cannot compare calorie burns like that. Your boyfriend is almost certainly taller and heavier than you, plus males burn more calories.

 

It's hard to say if one number is "wrong" without knowing both of your heights, weights and ages.
