Hi there,

 

I recently bought a fitbit blaze, and have been using it for the last couple of days. I am finding that it does not quite meet my expectations. The battery life is shockingly bad - nowhere near the 5 days that are promoted. my blaze will not make it through 2 full days without running out of power. This isnt even with any extreme usage - just standard day to day activites - not even any GPS tracking via a phone.

 

The top right button also does not work when it is placed in the watch frame, however it does work when used without the frame. 

 

The display also does not seem to power off sometimes for long periods - which I can only presume adds to the battery life problem. 

 

Have any other users had thee problems, and found any solutions? If I cant make the battery last for at least 2 - 3 days , then I fear that I'll have no choice but to send my device back and demand a refund, as it just simply doesnt perform as advertised.

I just purchased my FitBit Blaze yesterday and am noticing some counting challenges.  I was on my treadmill this morning for almost 90 minutes so well over 5,000 steps and my fitbit reflected that (6100 steps) until it synced and then it dropped to 3,100 so not sure what's up with that.  I'll see what happens in the next few days.  I used to wear a pedometre so I know my step count for a 5K walk so the 3100 does not make sense. Somehow it has adjusted to the lower number and I'm not sure why.
