Hi MaryKay,

 Loving my new Fitbit 3  you won’t be disappointed so much better than the blaze  The only difference/downfall is the screen isn’t big but l personally like the Sliema look.  Don’t know what to do with all my blaze  Accessories ☹️ Merry Christmas 🎄

Mine is doing the same thing.  I charge it all night and by noon it has already died.  I have cleaned it, changed chargers, I feel I am out of options.

Hi leastevens,

 That’s really disappointing when it happens my suggestion would be to contact fit bit support team

I am having the exact same battery issues as everyone else all of a sudden. A full charge only lasts about 24 hours and it just started a week ago.  Do we have to call Support to get help?  My warranty is going to be up soon and want to get this taken care of.

Thanks for sharing the news about your New a Fitbit 3.  I also wonder what to do with my blaze assessories.  Know I am excited about a New Fitbit.

[Amanda30]

Hi 👋 

 Yes definitely contact fit bit support 

[MaryKay-119]

My Blaze is 2 years and out of warranty. It looks like I have to charge it daily.

Hi there everyone! Good to see you around!

@Amanda30 @MaryKay-119 I'm happy to hear that you've upgraded to these new models. I'm pretty sure you will love them and if you run into any difficutly, let me know. I'll be happy to help!

@leastevens, I'm sorry to hear that the battery on your Blaze is not lasting as it should. I've escalated your case to our Support Team, so you should be receiving an email soon with more instructions.

@tkuhar68 I will need you to put your tracker to charge and once it's fully charged, take it off the charger and put it on. Sync it and use it as you would normally do. Make sure to sync it frequently after this (every one or two hours at least) so that the battery levels are recorded on the app logs and once the battery dies, let me know so that I can take a closer look and then we can move forward with other options to get you back on track.

If you guys need more help, I'm always around!

Hello, I'm also having trouble keeping a charge on my Fitbit Blaze. I charged it last night and then wore it today and it's already dead. Can you advise? 

[leastevens]

They only offered me a discount towards the purchase of a new one. This is
my 3rd Fitbit & all of them only lasted 2 years max. I have chosen to
purchase a Samsung Galaxy Watch.

[MaryKay-119]

I decided to give up on the Blaze and bought Charge 3. So far, I love it because it works. I feel like once I bought it, the company had already moved on and didn’t put any effort into the Blaze. I have been a Fitbit person since 2013 and not ready to go over to an Apple Watch. (All my technology is 🍎 Apple.). Good luck!

[Amanda30]

 Yes I also bought a charge three loving it I get about six days  once fully charged I also have been a fit bit customer for a very long time thought I would give them one last chance but very happy with my purchase

I have the same problem with my Fitbit Blaze.  When I first started using it the battery wast lasting about 4 days between charging.  It has gradually decreased, requiring a charge every three days. Since the last update to version  17.8.402.1 the Blaze will not hold a charge for 40 hours!  I have disabled and turned off everything except heartbeat, steps and the clock.  I only synchronize to my iPhone twice a day.  Still cannot get it to hold a charge. 

I had the battery replaced a month ago yet the problem persists.  HELP   I need to monitor steps, cardio Etal for my health insurance.  Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

[MaryKay-119]

I pulled the plug on the Blaze and bought Charge 3. I am happy with my purchase.

@JWFinkler @MaryKay-119 Thanks for visiting the Fitbit Community. Sorry for the delayed response.

@JWFinkler There is actually no way to reload the firmware of the Fitbit Blaze back to an earlier version. To further investigate your case, I sent your information to Customer Support. Please check your inbox on the next days. They will let you know how to proceed as soon as possible.

@MaryKay-119 Thank you for letting us know that you are happy with your Fitbit Charge 3.
