Pretty sure that's normal for every Fitbit update.

I like the offer for a 35% off coupon for a new device. Way to pump those sales numbers, boys!

Google: Do Evil.

Just Google being Google.

They do this often

After they abandoned Stadia I'm not likely to get a Fitbit again.

Left after my charge 2 died

Switched to Garmin,

Best decision ever.

Next time my Charge 2 band breaks I'll do the same.

Well, Versa 2 is a pile of crap anyway, so not much lost with it being bricked. I had a few smart watches/bracelets through the years, but I hate the Versa 2 the most by far.

Fuck Fitbit. If you're device is stolen they'll just let the thief register and use it and provide you no help at all.

Same here. Never looked back.

My Charge 3 just started randomly vibrating and acting like I was swiping in all directions. Tried every "reset" trick I could find online, and nothing worked. A friend told me these things are only designed to last a few years.

What a ripoff.

Just happened to my wife's watch! It went dark just the other day after charging, while the backplate green sensor light blinks nonstop.

What's so great about Garmin, may I ask as a current Fitbit user.

How can they tell it was actually stolen vs. you sold it to someone?

My favorite feature of my Sense is randomly restarting in the middle of the night and buzzing as it does so. It’s fun to get woken up by the device that’s supposed to help evaluate the quality of my sleep.

If you contact them to report it’s stolen, you probably didn’t sell it

As was intended.

same here, got a instinct 2s, and i was a fitbit user for 10+ years

Seriously. 30 day charge, does everything I need including tracking heart rate, sleep, calories burnt, clear during the day and night, and alerts me to messages and calls. Semi old school display tech. Got rid of alexa. Solar charging is a nice gimmick (Still, I like it. Adds like a day or two a month with my settings.) GPS is one of the toys, but I really don't use it. It's not going to wow people with high tech watches, but for people that use fitbit products it sounds great. Garmin Instinct 2. Also, I find it funny that I just replaced my Versa 2 with this two months ago, so if it bricked my old watch, whatever.

To be honest, the idea of charging daily sounds insane and charging weekly was a slight inconvenience. 30 days? Geeze, it's not even an inconvenience.

/I should be getting paid for this.

Or you’re trying to get money off the sale, and get a new Fitbit. I’m not saying OP did that, but how would the company know?

I got mine pre-google and it's been going for years and years now

A lot of companies just flag a device as stolen in the system (with a police report) but take no action, but the record is there if the police submit a data request.

As far as trying to scrape money from a used sale, that sounds like extra work for almost no money.

Normal for fitbit, scumbag company. I had a watch, my gf had one, mom & dad had one each and all 4 of them stopped working right after warranty ended

You made this entire response for no money, some would ask why bother?

I ran a 30 mile race, Fitbit recorded 32 miles which increased my pace by a minute and some.

Also more measurements

But Fitbit records sleep pretty spot on

I see, you just need to be contrarian.

Who would waste police time with a making a claim for a Fitbit? The poster didn’t mention any report.

Still contrarian. You just want to argue, you can do that on your own. It’s like talking to a toddler.

I’m explaining a basic policy that many business have. I’m not sure why you are arguing it.

This is just a stupid take, sorry. They were pumping billions into stadia for literal years. They gave away stadia kits like crazy.

How are you angry that they shut down a product that was hemorrhaging money and still reimbursed everyone?

I actually used the service, I'm not happy but I fully understand why they did it.

My aunt gave me the watch she didn't want. It worked for 2 minutes until I updated it. I assume Fitbit purposely bricked their old devices to force us to upgrade. I'm not doing that. Hope she kept the receipt.

Love my Garmin, but the software side of it sucks. The versa 2 felt better built (obviously wasn't), and the software was fantastic. My Venu's software sucks, do you have issues with your Garmin's software?

Not at all, I wear the 955 solar
