Dissapointing

Naively, I bought a Fitbit Blaze thinking that it would work. Well, it does. Sort of. Sometimes. When it feels like it.

Yeah, I know, I'm running a watch that isn't on the list (Kogan Agora 6+), but I did finally manage to get it set up and synching. Then it stopped. Then it started again. Then I had to reset everything and start again. Over and over.

Sometimes I can watch my steps tick over as I'm walking. Other times I have to spend half an hour trying to get things to synch up. 

It doesn't even make a good watch. Took it off for a few days as I was not in a position to use it and I put it back on this morning to find that it's about an hour and a half slow and four days behind. 

If I was asked to rate this watch, I'd have to give it two out of five. If that. When it works, its good, but I don't think I'm expecting too much when I expect it to work all the time and not have to fight with it for half an hour every time I want to synch it to the phone.

I'm really sorry this is happening. But it does not sound like its setup correctly

It really needs to sync to be accurate as well and it does not sound like you are doing that.

Let us know!

Well it looks like I should have done more research before buying the Fitbit. I did, obviously rather naively, think that, being a Bluetooth device, and my phone having Bluetooth, it would work. I could also believe that I might have erred in the setup if it refused to work at all. But when it sometimes works perfectly and then stops working, then works in a sort of a fasion, then... (you get the idea), I am slightly disinclined to think that it's due to a setup issue. Unless the app or device is prone to randomly changing its settings, that is.
