Like any good Fitbit, a Fitbit Blaze will remain on and working for about a week with a fully-charged battery. But should you plan to go device-free for a while, you should turn the Blaze off to save some power.

Shutting down your Fitbit Blaze can save battery, but it can also help reset the system if you encounter any issues or errors.

Let the battery drain

If neither of the above approaches worked, you may have to wait a few days until your Fitbit Blaze's battery dies.

Once it dies, charge it fully before turning it back on, and hope the issue is resolved. If it's still not working, contact Fitbit for help.
