Other discussions of battery life don't seem to address this. I have had my Blaze about a year and a half. Most of that time, it held a charge for 4-5 days. Lately, it has reduced to about 2 days. How long should the battery be expected to hold a charge (i.e., after how many months should I see the stored charge degrade to 1 or 2 days, then not at all)?

Hi, @KurtH! I too have had my Blaze about a year and a half and am running into the same problem. Since I bought it, my Blaze would easily run 4-5 days without needing a charge and now I'm lucky to get 2, maybe 2.5 and it seems to be getting worse as the weeks go by. I read the Fitbit recommended charging instructions and have always followed them to the letter so again, I would ask Fitbit what the expected battery life of their Blaze is? I know this is still better than the Apple Watch but let's face it, us Blaze users got pretty spoiled not having to charge our devices every day or 2 so this is a giant pain now. I'm not quite ready to make the price jump to buying a Ionic but also not sure I would buy a new Blaze since it kind of has outdated technology now. Thoughts from other users?
