Given up on my Fitbit now, gone for a Polar like I had before the Ionic, at least I know they will fix the issues and not push you to buy a newer model, My old Polar V800 still supported even now (8 years old), If Fitbit don't start listening to their customers they will lose them and the lack of compassion for issue they caused with their update and telling user to buy the newer version is a bad business model and the company will fail if they don't change this, user spend hundreds on a product they expect to be supported by the company who sold it to them, in this case they don't look at fixing the issue just want you to spend more on another of their devices which will fail with the next update and newer model comes out.
Its a shame as the Ionic had a lot of good features and was a good fitness, entry level smartwatch, some aspects better than the iWatch, now it is just a brick, but it's not Fitbits problem, it's the users according to Fitbit, Bad customer services and support.

Yeah thier support is shocking, and exactly, why would we want another of thier products when they cant support the one you own. 1st time this happened to me, it was in warranty, the 4 or 5 tines afterwards was a nightmare to sort it.
