Tonight my blaze started flashing red lights for just a few seconds. I've never noticed that before. Should I be concerned?

@Lucy60Welcome.... Was it a small reflective light in the top left hand corner of the Blaze.. If so you are seeing reflection form the detector for the available light strength to enable the tracker to display your screen in the optimal light conditions.  I may being wrong about the use,but another Fitbitter or Moderator can correct me.

I'm almost certain the red lights was coming from the same source as the green light underneath next to the skin. It happened so quickly I can't be 100% positive.  Green lights flashing red. Could that be possible and if so why? Thanks.

That's what mine was doing.  Tried to reboot but still got red light.  Maybe it wasn't charged?

That would not be the sensor on the front. 

I'm not sure what the complete color or colors used in the heart rate sensor.. It might be that there is both red and green led's.. Does it stay red?
