It has been about a month or so since FitBit and I, did a research on the battery life on the tracker. I had purchase the tracker been since mid August. I had the Charge 2 and the Gearbit 2 before the Blaze which I had now. One of the first problems was, was steps record which was off track. I had read some of the comments from others,which I had problems on the record regarding sleep,in which others had also. The recent was the life of the battery in that the Fitbit team and I did a experiment. I was informed by the Fitbit Team to cut off certain programs regarding the draining of the battery. So in what I did was one, the bluetooth was turn off when not needed, so I turn it on occasionally to record from the tracker. The notifications on the phone calls received the reminder for a bit of the 250 steps per hour in which I had it set only for nine hours. At the time I was using the tracker while going to the gym or walked outdoors. The step count was off by six, and again I had read some of the comments from the Forum. Not noticing at first when the dates of the posts in which I researched and found out when the tracker was first placed on the market to purchase. Like as systems go, I was concerned, because it seems the old time was a 2 year life span of products before it might have gone obsolete been I just bought it 3 months ago. I like the tracker since the menu I was content with but concern again the life of the battery. So by contacting Fitbit as I said earlier we did a life battery check, fully charged it and allowing it to drain. During the process, I had made a suggestion about placing a menu indicating to register when the tracker when charged to full. Of reading the guide and the comments, it indicated that at times your wrist needed a break from the band in which I had done so, since purchasing the watch. The process was done in which the battery was drained and at each moment of the journey I was still in contact,by email to the Fitbit team. When recharging it to full the fitbit team indication that the battery had a fault in it,which a replacement was sent to me. The time I was told when the other was to arrive,to my surprise that instead of a week, it came in 3 days. So I did the necessary things by delete the old tracker from my IPhone SE in which I did not have any problem with syncing to it. I had recently use the menu in checking before purchasing to see if the phone was compatible with it. So when the the replacement came in, the same thing was done in seeing if the battery was good. The update that normally was done to the tracker upon syncing was done,upon charging until full charge. The battery lasted for five days when the battery charge indicated it was low. Even at this time I was still in contact with the Fitbit team. When I then charged it to full had a message that there was an update for it in which I was shocked. So I had update in which I was hoping suggestions might have been implemented in the update. Also I had hope according the reading I decided to do a comparison during all this this between the Blaze and the new one Ionic. Seeing that the new tracker had a new IOS system than the Blaze that possibly a newer one could be.Also on the idea in which I was corrected that the Blaze was not a replacement for the Surge that I had preferred the Blaze anyway. The battery was informed to me that the battery was working great so,that was good for me to hear. So as writing this of my experience I hope it will help someone so any have any questions would be glad to answer. Now to the Fitbit team from your end how is the tracker working at this time?
