So frustrated. 2 Altas and 2 Blaze’s in 2 years!

So recently I bought another FitBit Blaze after the last one died. Now today my Fitbit Blaze yet again will not turn on. 

I do run a lot with my Fitbit on to track my heart rate and distance etc and it seems they can’t even withstand sweat. Also I wear it a lot at the gym which especially over the summer got quite sweaty.

 

The 2 FitBit Alta’s that I had were not durable and the straps broke whilst at work and inevitably they resulted in being lost.

 

No longer have warranty on any of them and can no longer afford to buy another. Just makes me wonder if there is any effort put in to making these more durable. So frustrating as I do enjoy using mine, tracking my sleep and being part of the challenges and communities on the app 😞

It's not the sweat.  I've had 2 Fitbits replaced under warranty and the 3rd lost its functionality not long after the warranty expired.  Now the battery only lasts about 12 hours although some of the functionality has returned.

 

just read some of the forum posts.
