Hi, I've had my Blaze for 3 months now and love it. However, I don't believe the heart rates its showing me are correct, if I try and wear the device where it shows (two finger widths above the wrist bone) but it's really uncomfortable and too tight and slides down towards my hand. So I wear it on my wrist bone and it's loose enough to be comfortable but tight enough so it only has a small movement but when I'm just walking at a moderate pace it shows my heart rate at between 110 and 135 bpm which seems way too high, I do weigh 19 stone but I walk 20,000 steps everyday and am concerned that my calories burned are very inaccurate due to the HR not working, not sure what to do.

It's great to see you here @Damc81 and thanks for troubleshooting this by yourself. You don't necessarily need to wear your tracker in certain way, my recommendation is to wear it in a way you feel comfortable. Just make sure that it is recording your heart rate properly and you are ready to go. You can also take a look at this post where our friend @FerdinandFitbit is providing some tips to wear your Blaze.
Catch you later.

So would i be right to say then that as long as the Fitbit is picking up a constant heart rate then that heart rate should be pretty accurate?
