I purchased a Blaze from Macy in Orlando Florida in January of this year and the device is no longer keeping its charge for more than 2 hours. The contacts on the back of the device are worn down and one of them actually has a hole in it. I have the original packaging and receipt from Macy's and I'm wondering if I should just take it back to any Macy's store, since their policy is to replace unused merchandise with original receipts, within one year of purchase? Or, given that I have worn the device for the past several months, should I look to Fitbit directly, for a replacement? The heart rate portion died about a week before the device itself started to loose charge.
Grateful for your immediate help... I'm losing steps.
