Does Fitbit Blaze have the calibration feature?

Like Apple Watch has?

I don't know what calobration fearure the apple wstch has, your Fitbit account can be customized to you, by entering your Height, Weight, Age, and stride. Fitbit then uses this to customize the calories and distance, determined by any tracker attached to your account.

First of all, I said calibration not calobration. Second, I'm talking about the feature that Apple Watch calibrates itself and memorize the data to measure the distance and speed accurately without Cell Phone(GPS). Fitbit Blaze uses connected-GPS. So I want to exercise without My Cell Phone.

Go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204516 and you'll know what I'm talking about. Thanks

Oh, I see, as I understand, Fitbit does that automatically (as seen in the surge) and I believe there is not a need for the way the Apple Watch does it. The Apple Watch sure is confusing. So I do not believe there is a need. I may be wrong, just giving my advice. You can return the blaze in 45 days of purchase for a full refund if you do not like it, so why not try it. Hopefully a moderator will be able to give you an exact answer

It looks like Apple has some kind of auto calibratiob by using the watch in an open area with GPS on. Fitbit has the ability to manually enter these in your personal settings, not the Blaze settings, becaise they are tuned to you and not the type of tracker.
The Blaze without GPS will work, amd use the same settings ypir current tracrer uses.

Sorry i did not catch the keyboard swipe error.

OK, but I think I can't refund in 45 days because I'm Korean and I'm living in Korea. ㅠㅠ 슬프다 역시 IT 갈라파고스 대한민국 (I'm sad and I'm sure that South Korea is the Galapagos lol)

And Actually Surge has GPS itself. It's built-in GPS.

I think you're not an Englishman, right? Because I can't understand some words...

I have this same question! The surge will calibrate stride when using GPS so that distance is accurate when one is not using GPS. AW calibrates using connected GPS... MS band calibrates using onboard GPS like the Surge..

So will the blaze use connected GPS to set stride length for use when not connected to GPS? It really should- hoping the answer is yes...

[Rich_Laue]

That's interesting since aito calibratiob with the Sirge is still feature request that hasnt been implemented.
I have used my step count and the GPS reading from the Surge to gogure the stride.

[SunsetRunner]

Well- I suppose I could be mistaken. I am basing it on my own observations with the surge. When first going for a walk after a factory reset the distance is off... If I use GPS for a few walks then turn it off the distance is bang on.... I am assuming that this means that it is calibrating.

Imo - Fitbit absolutely should be calibrating with GPS AND they should push the calibration results to your profile so it can be used with any Fitbit device. (They are not doing this today, from what j can tell)
