Does the Blaze register information when there is no arm swing?

[AB216]

Have had problems with other trackers where they don’t track because there is no arm swing.  I walk with a stroller majority of the time.  Does the blaze track steps when there is no arm swing?

I'm afraid it's the same with wrist-worn fitbits. Walking with a stroller is notorious for missing steps. See: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1136/

Could it be placed somewhere else for a more accurate reading when I am walking with a stroller?  (Pant belt hole, bra strap,etc)

My blaze tracks my steps when I'm using my snowblower.  It records the time under outdoor bike on it's own.  I don't know how accurate the count is.  So it should give you something.

A warm welcome to the Community @AB216, @StephenMx it's great to see you around and @SteveH thanks for stopping by.

As mentioned, the Blaze will register your information based on your arm movement. For more information about this you can take a look at the How accurate are Fitbit devices? article. If you want to register information while not having arm movement, you can place your Blaze inside a pocket.

Let me know if you need anything else.
