I started wearing my new Blaze on Monday at about 3p. Yesterday (Thursday) at about 8:30p I noticed that my battery was in the red, low mode.
I have only had heart rate on during workouts for the last few days, have the screen on auto brightness, and sometimes turn the quick view screen off.
I'm charging it this morning after wearing it for only 3 1/2 days.
Is this normal??
Thanks

It can last up to 5 days+ depending on usage.
On the Blaze itself in the settings, battery can be saved when turning heart rate from on to automatic. With On it measures heart rate every second, with automatic, every few seconds..
Automatic tracked exercises, the ones not needed can be turned off as well by setting to 'ignored':

If using the phone, make sure background sync is disabled when not needed, as it can drain the battery of the phone & the tracker quicker. It still sync's to the account when opening the app, though not sync'ing constantly when bluetooth is turned on..
Limiting the total alarms can help preserving more battery to.
