I purchased a Fitbit watch and it does not hold charge so it is totally unusable. I wrote a letter to James Park, CEO and President of Fitbit but did not even get the courtesy of a response from him.

Contacted Fitbit to request a replacement Fitbit as the small black pieces that the band clips onto broke off, not allowing the band to clip to the Fitbit. I have NEVER had an issue getting a replacement before this when a device malfunctions.

5 hours today trying to get this fixed, to no avail. The first rep insisted I send a picture-even though I'm in class all day and didn't think to carry along a broken Fitbit in order to provide "proof" of the break.

Fine, got it-I somehow got my 82 year old grandmother to get a picture. Next rep-insisted the band was "tempered" with adhesive, which is actually dirt-from working out with the Fitbit on. surprise. said rep offered a 25% discount on a new device.

when I informed her it wasn't adhesive, she insisted I get my grandmother to clean it in…

The Charge 2 fitbit I got for Christmas has a crack on the screen. Don't even know how or when it happened. I have read many complaints online about how fragile the screen is and that it cannot be replaced.

Tried numerous times to speak with a representative by phone and find it impossible to get through. Why is this such a common problem and why is it so difficult to reach someone to talk to. This happens so frequently the screen should be able to be replaced.

I will not spend another $150. for a new fitbit. net 2 Weeks Rd Danvers, Mass. 01923 Phone# 978 539 8216

Today, I was able to speak with Chenelle (the last point of contact MANAGER).. I have a Fitbit alta that stop charging. After stating my complaint this is the email I received. Please everyone comment to decipher how you interpret the email and the meaning of ALSO?

Ionic 40% off plus 25% off??? OR 25% off or 40% off ionic, but not together??? FITBIT DOES NOT STAND BEHIND PRODUCT OR WRITTEN EMAIL AND CHENELLE ---stated, "She could not account for her employee typing this email". NOTE---CHENELLE IS THE (LAST POINT OF CONTACT FOR THE FITBIT MANAGEMENT)!

My Fitbit display failed on Saturday 15th June, I contacted Fitbit support via we chat, they asked me to try charging overnight, this did not solve the issue. I contacted support via webchat again on Sun 16th, they agreed the device was faulty and within the warranty period, so a case number assigned to me #30822209, an email sent asking me to complete to order a replacement.

The form completed, and immediately sent back, with a confirmation email sent to me with an order Ref number #47LF7MCM. Shipping method, 4 business days. Friday 21st June no sign of replacement , I chased via Twitter, and advised it would be followed up.

I chased again on tues 25th and told the order was in processed on Fri 21st June due to issues with 3rd party’s, so left until today to chase, and sent a DM via…

My ultra band has been replaced 4 times in a little over a year. It is defiantly defective. My watch screen now has died twice just soon after the year. They offer an extended warranty or a discount on a new device.

I don’t want to buy another device , I want a device that will service me for more than one year. 00 dollars for something that last a a year is a horrible product. I filed a complaint on FTC site because this is fraudulent to not fix or replace a defective product and then ask me to pay for warranty or a replacement product is just wrong.

I use this device to receive insurance benefits from work , so I lose financial benefits through work when the device fails ! The call center in Guatemala really is clueless about consumer rights here in the USA .

I have purchased two Fitbit verses from Amazon I just sent the second one back this morning to Amazon for a refund. These are not accurate at all for miles walked or steps. I am sure the rest of the data is incorrect also.

I also purchased my son a watch wish I had not missed the return date on it. It is of 3/4 mile on a 5 mile walk. I do not understand how you are still in business! What a scam!

I guess I ate $170 on my sons watch you won’t get anymore mo y from me. Hope this is posted for other potential buyers to read. I am also going to post with BBB and every other place I can find to post.

Got a fit bit for Christmas; it was something I really wanted and was glad I got it for a gift. Now can not even use the clock. It is constantly un syncing. Reading all the people who have had this problem, I am questioning my decision to even asking for this.

not even a good watch!

My Fitbit app synced this morning to 38 steps, I tried several times to synch after our long walks, and this afternoon, it finally synched to 16,500 steps. About an hour later, I opened the Fitbit app and saw that it was synched back to 38 steps. There's a bug in the app that needs to be fixed immediately!

Have had my Charge 2 for about 5 months (purchased in June 2018). It worked beautifully for that time until the November 2018 update and it stopped sending text and phone call notifications. I have a Blackberry with Android. The phone was compatible for the first 5 months and suddenly stopped working with the notifications.

I have numerous emails from Fitbit with trouble shooting of how to fix it, do this, do that from 'tech support' and they then tell me the BB/Android is not compatible. It also doesn't work with Samsung phones, nor Huawei.

I know this as I've tried it with other phones. I asked Fitbit to replace the unit, they will not. It's no wonder they have a 45 day return, and a 1 year limited warranty. Fitbit does not stand behind their product or their apps.

My Fitbit Versa started on fire while on my wrist. Fitbit asked for it back, returned the fitbit to them, along with pictures of the burn and receipts and their decision is to refund my money. They are only refunding the balance of cash I paid, not the full total purchase price I PAID using my gift cards.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, MY HUSBAND PURCHASED A FITBIT SURGE FOR ME AS A XMAS GIFT (DEC 2017) ACCORDING TO THE SALES CLERK THE SURGE IS WATER PROOF AND I WAS TOLD I COULD WEAR IT EVEN WASHING DISHES. THE CLERK DID ADVISE TO NOT SUBMERGE IN WATER BUT WATER GETTING ON THE SURGE ITSELF WOULD NOT CAUSE DAMAGE.

I ALSO WORE MY SURGE DURING EXERCISE (WALKING) NOT SURE WHICH CAUSED THE DAMAGE THE MINIMAL WATER DURING WASHING DISHES OR THE SWEAT DURING WALKING (THOUGHT FITBIT WAS DESIGNED TO TRACK STEPS??? ) THIS WAS NOT THE BEST PRODUCT FOR MY HUSBAND TO PURCHASE FOR ME TO TRACK MY STEPS DURING EXERCISE.

Two issues: I received a Fitbit Blaze as a gift in Sept 2016. I worked great for a year and would stay charged for nearly a week. However, in Sept 2017, I noticed that the battery would run down in about two days. Now I charge it over night, and the battery will not stay charged for even an hour. I think my sister paid about $199 for it, and it only lasted about a year and a half. I looked up fixes such as turning off all-day sync, but nothing helps.

Also, my son has a Alta, and the band caused him to have a terrible rash. I called Fitbit and asked whether they had bands of different material and was told that they do not. Their suggestion was to return it to them for a refund. However, I lined the band with moleskin for him--the type with adhesive backing that you buy for blisters--and…

I have had 3 fitbit charge HR and the metal piece under the display has broken every time. I would like a replacement. Customer service gave me a coupon for 50% off which sounds good but everything is half off right now and the coupon is not good on half off items.

So the coupon is not valid and she knew this when she offered it to me. I just want a replacement.

followed every procedure online to try and sync with no success. I've been a member since 1/2016 this is second time I've had this issue. I should not have to invest so much time to get this resolved ever time it happens.

I'm contemplating throwing it out and go and buy a competitive brand.

Bought a Fitbit Aria scale 2 years ago, worked fine, batteries went low, replaced Batteries, now shows err, They said My Aria scale needed to be replaced and I could go on line and purchase or goto authorized store. support said 1 year warranty in US 2 year in Europe, Ive had mine 2 years and 1 month So their solution Throw away and purchase their new Aria 2 My comment instead of buying the high dollar scale that will break within a couple years, buy the scale thats 1/3rd of the price that last forever.

Fitbit is aware of the problems of the Aria issues, there solution is you have to buy a new one. DO NOT BUY A FITBIT ARIA unless you want a throw away scale.

My husband purchased a fitbit for me 4 months ago. About a week ago the band has a big bubble in it and the 1 corner is peeling back by the face. It has never gotten wet. We are extremely dissatisfied, as it was relatively expensive.

I will probably be looking into a different company to purchase something similar. I was going to purchase fitbits for my 3 daughters for Christmas, but now thinking otherwise. Completely upset with this product.

I purchased a Fitbit to help with my sleep disorder. I have narcolepsy. Soon after I got it I became obsessed and addicted to the fitness aspect of it. My problem is it pops off often since day one. I've found it at the gym parking lot, my garage, and mowing the lawn.

This time not so lucky. I love Fitbit but I hadn't had it a year. Can't afford to replace yearly. Very disappointed! I need my Fitbit for more reasons than most.

We purchased a Fitbit charge 6months ago and it's working fine but we faced a problem now. It's cover has scrapped from the inner side and my son was just trying it and saw it. So we want Fitbit to please do the right thing or replace it.

Bought a Fitbit Aria scale for my husband. It burns out the batteries every 3 weeks, supposed to have a battery change every six months. Scale is defective, probably a common problem that they are aware of in the beginning of production. The scale turns on when there isn't anyone near it. Flashes messages back and forth says sensing..step off when no one is on it. The customer service in my opinion was horrible. Because they do not offer to fix it. Or tell me how to get it fixed or replace it at a discount.

Only offered a 25% discount on a new Fitbit tracker not a new scale. And the customer service department did not respond to me after I requested to speak to a higher up management at Fitbit. $100 down the drain. They only give you a 45 day warranty which is unreasonable, if the scale…

My wife bought a Fitbit HR in the first week of March 16 and it was working well till Aug 16. Currently it is not just working at all in view of the battery defect and also the entire strap of the watch has got disoriented and peeling off.

All of a sudden it seemed that my Fitbit wasn't giving me as many steps as the same route, also walking with another person who also has a fitbit. Then the rubber came off the clasp. I don't want to get another clip on.

It worked real well up to a month ago. Should I ask for a refund or call corporate?

I have had two Fitbits in about 1year and 1 month. They were the charge Fitbits. I have no complaints on the mechanism of them, but both of the bands came apart. Customer service replaced the first one but now the 2nd one has come apart too.

My thought is maybe management at Fitbit should rethink the design of the bands.

The Fitbit App just updated and they took away the Oklahoma dashboard now. The new dashboard sucks big time. You can't add any additional exercises. Why did they have to screw up a good program. I hate the new one.

Nobody likes the new one. I am calling Fitbit head office to complain so they can fix it now.

I received my fitbit on xmas 2015. After much effort to get it to sync, I concluded that the company was selling a product which did not live up to its promise. The company apparently has not mastered the technology.

I am very disappointed and am writing this letter in the hope that other people will avoid buying it. I also plan to write a letter to Consumer Reports. I tried several times to contact the Fitbit customer service office but no one answered the telephone.

Have not been able to sync fitbit for past few months and when emailed customer service they provided instructions to rectify that did not solve problem. The time was off a few minutes from actual time but after trying to solve sync problem per instructions from fitbit customer service, time is off by 1hour, 6 minutes.

Spoke to a few other owners of fitbit in office and similar problems exist with incorrect time. Basically, customer service told me it was past the 45 day return time and there is NOTHING they could do. All I can do now is to provide negative reference when asked how I like fitbit products.

It's totally inaccurate on calculating my heart rate. It could show 142 BPM and if I stop for a few seconds it drops all the way to 98 which is ridiculous. I could be sweating and my heart beating like crazy and it will say 112 BPM nothing is accurate about the BPM on the Fitbit HR hat I received as a gift at Christmas. I've tried resetting it by deleting the icon and reinstalling nothing I'm so frustrated with this watch right now I only use it just as a regular watch. I do spinning everyday as well as the elliptical or treadmill and the way it counts the steps is also in accurate.

Today I was spinning for 90 minutes which is not unusual for me and it said I did over 6,000 steps..I could do the same thing the next day at the same level and it will calculate maybe 1,500 steps. I have…

I reinstalled the fitbit program a few months after having to factory reset my computer due to a hacked internet explorer, unknowingly install two programs that I can't get uninstalled -- KNCTR and Web Companion. Both shown to be viruses.

What is the freaking deal here? I was going to ask for a Blaze for my birthday, but now I not only don't want it, I am trashing my Flex and telling as many people I can about this deal.

I received my fitbit chargeHR as a Christmas gift on 12/20/2015. About a month ago it went dead. I tried charging it and it won't charge and is still not working. I tried taking it back to the store and they said I had up to 15 days only to return to them.

I need to contact you, so I am sending this email. My wife also got a fitbit chargeHR for a Christmas gift on 12/20/2015. Her buckle broke and we did get that snapped back on. Please let us know what we can do in order to get a new fitbit.

This is still under warranty. Thank you.

After I used my Fitbit surge that I got for Christmas, I used it for about a month and a half and my arm was itchy. Then, I thought it was from me sweating so, I changed arms and the same thing happened after a week or so.

I started asking around at work and a lot of guys got them for Christmas and quite a few of them had to return them. My arm was so bad that I had blisters under the band on both arms.

They were so bad that they were almost scared. I would like to return my Fitbit surge and get a full refund please.

I purchased two fitbit charge devices in July 2015. One for myself and one for my daughter. We both love the technology and on line tracking and challenges. but I have experienced a poor quality problem with my unit. I even purchased the fitbit Aria scale to include with my weight monitoring.The unit came apart and the band separated. the charging component stayed connecte3d to the charging wand. I carefully tried to put it back together as it came off the wand in pieces.

When re-compiled, it would not charge unless I held it into the charger. I tried securing the metal pieces with glue to see if this would hold it more securely but it still would not change. I am sending this unit back to you to ask if you can help me with a solution. I would like to stay with the fitbit products but am…

Received Fitbit as a gift. Received my Fitbit 7 days after it was purchased. Had to charge before use. By the time I charged it and used it I realized it is not accurate and wanted to return for credit on credit card but since Best Buy has a 14 day return I am left with $191 on a Best Buy card which I don't want because I was beyond the 14 day return.

I will not buy from Best Buy again.
