Screen cracked a month in

Got this as a gift for Christmas. It was on my list, so I was very excited to get it. Had some issues keeping it paired to my phone, so I wasn’t receiving all the my text msgs. I work in a Corp office where we cannot have our phones out during meetings, so the text function was key for me if I needed to be reached in emergencies. After a month a pretty harmless bump of my Fitbit to my kitchen table cracked the screen substantially, and the store wouldn’t take fix it under warranty. Pretty disappointed in it altogether

Works but didn’t last

I’ve had two Fitbits now and realized I can’t wear them anymore. I got a burn-like rash from the battery every time I wore it. I wanted to like the Fitbit and like all of the features but it wasn’t worth the discomfort from the rash.

It worked well for the first year or so. But now that it is two years old I find that it doesn't properly track steps, stairs or sleep. For example, I slept well over 7bhours last night but it tells me I slept for 2 and a half. I have stairs in my apartment and I have to climb them numerous times a day to let my dog in and out but it tells me I havent climbed any stairs in days. Steps, apparently I walked 52 before I even got out of bed.

Altough the product was supposed to be good for the price range, I'm not happy with the quality for a $200 fitness watch. The heart rate monitor is not very accurate; it's off by about 30% compared to products with a chest strap for measuring heart rate, which in turns skews the calories burnt. This is mostly because it misses beats once your heart rate reaches about 150 bpm. The watch is also falling apart when I plug it into the charger, which seems to be a common problem among my friends. I feel like this product is more of a fad, and won't last very long.
