I've had my blaze for about a month now. I've noticed a lot of differences between my steps, floors and sleep pattern from my old charge HR. I seem to have less steps and the floors are not counted. I know I've been up and down at least 4 times today but I've only had two recorded. My sleep is apparently less disturbed than when I wore the Charge HR and I do half as many steps. 

 

Has anyone else found this? Is my blaze accurate or was the issue with the Charge HR?

Welcome to the forums! Great to have you here!

 

Have you changed the Handedness on it? I have mine set to the opposite I wear it and it works better for me. My Charge 2 and Blaze come close to the same step count. Its under settings

It's great to see you here @Misspinkfins and @WendyB thanks for stopping by.

 

If you think that your tracker is not catching up all your information, I recommend restarting your Blaze and test it by counting your steps and stairs. Also, you can take a look at the Things You Can Do To Make The Blaze More Accurate post, where our friend @bcalvanese is providing really good recommendations.

 

I hope this helps, let me know the outcome. Woman Happy
