FitBit Ionic Nightmare - 3 Dead in less than 2 years

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

So I got my first fitbit ionic almost 2 years ago. I got the 2 year warranty at Best Buy.

 

~1.5 years later, it completely died for no good apparent reason. The thing just wouldn't turn on anymore. So I took it to Best Buy to get a replacement. This was 6 months ago.

 

When I got the replacement there, they didn't even have the option to buy an extended warranty for it (You know it's bad when Best Buy stops offering warranties on items. The agent there said they got so many returns for this device that they just couldn't support the warranties any more.)

 

4 months ago, this replacement died, exactly the same way. Just dead, was fully charged, but when I went to look at it halfway through the day it wouldn't turn on/display anything. It never did again.

 

Now, after waiting for ~2 months to get a replacement from FitBit, since that one was under the 1 year warranty, my replacement came yesterday!

 

Hooray!

 

NOT.

 

This replacement fitbit was fully charged over night, I began to set it up this morning. Now it also is completely dead. Won't turn on/display anything, and I have multiple different charging cables to try at work. Same exact problem as the last 2.

 

IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS. I didn't even get to take it to the gym today.

 

This is infuriating, and ridiculous.

Sorry to hear that.  My 1st Ionic lasted a whopping 3 hours!  And of course I was blamed for it.
