Missing Steps / Best Fitbit

[vphan]

I'm missing about 60-80% of my steps (worked really well for 2 weeks).  I've determined that it's not the Blaze, as I've repalced it with another Blaze.   

Do you guys think if i made a new account it would work?  If not are the other fitbit trackers more accurate?

Good Morning,

I don't think that my fitbit blaze is tracking all of my steps. Also while sitting at my desk at work or at home if I just move my feet up and down is that considered as steps and should it be counted as well.

It really moves slow when tracking my steps

so i went on to try the charge 2 and the same thing happens.  Seems like it's in my account?

I see some "i thinks" here, but no sign that anyone actually tested their tracker.

Lets do a test by going for a walk.

_ Put your tracker into the walk tracking mode.

_ Start walking with the left foot

_ Count every right foot step in your mind

_ When you get to 100 stop walking

_ Stpp the tracker and review the data

_ You hust walked 200 steps

_ What does the tracker show?

For my Charge2 it is 15 steps off with 200 but if i walk 1000 steps it is still off by the same 15.steps.

yes I've tested it, I've done all the tests that the fitbit has instructed me too.  I've also tried it with my gf's account and it works fine.

I miss about the first 10 steps I take.  which may be fine if you're doing non stop movement.    but if I go from my desk to my kitchen, I get zero and etc.

I have the same problem. Have reset Blaze dozens of times, put on non-dominant wrist, and still it misses most of my steps. If i walk 200, it might count somewhere around 50 or 60 of them, if I'm lucky. Also looking for anything more accurate.
