Footsteps accuracy with Blaze

[Cshykes]

Why does it seem that my Fitbit blaze is inaccurate with the footsteps? And or floors climbed or calories burned? I woke up and had 75 steps already and have my even moved yet and I walked does stairs one time and now have 625 steps why does it do this

Welcome to the majority of people with blazes, unfortunately. Mine has inaccurate steps, distance when on treadmill, and the notifications won't work. Pretty disappointing.

So there is no way to fix this problem?

It would be very possible to wake up with steps already counted, your Fitbit is connected to your wrist and is using arm motions to detect walking. Therefore rising and turning throughout the night, and that walk to the restroom merry add steps.

For the treadmill Your blaze will need to know your stride while on the treadmill to calculate the miles walked. The stride on the treadmill most likely is not the stride while on a free run.

As for strep accuracy, let your arms move natural, not holding onto ant bars, and compare to the steps counted with your mind.
