I just did the latest update on the Fitbit Iconic and I am so pissed about them taking off the pictures for the exercises.  It made it easier to swipe thru the pictures to find the exercise you wanted to use.  My personal opinion is, it has now devalued the Iconic if I was to buy a new one today.   I Don't know why they felt the need to change it.  It made the watch a smart looking watch when scrolling thru it.  I am very passionate about this watch and have owned one for a very long time... I am so disappointed that they did this.. Is anyone else with me or is it just me...!!???

FITBIT please explain why you did this, it make no sense.

I think it's because of the stereotype issue. I use the Run mode and one time it was a Caucasian woman and the next was a black woman. Now its just RUN. I miss the pics too, so much easier to navigate thru the modes.

How many months have you had yours?   Most of us have gone through 2 of them and both have died!

I have had mine since Feb. 2018. No issues so far except this last updated screwed up the battery life and keeping correct time. Before update I never had any problem with this watch.

Oh I am so with you. I am really pissed about it. It’s like going backwards to the blaze watch years ago. It makes no sense to me why they did this. 😡😡.

I used mine for MTB and now I am back to the phone apps, the whole idea was to keep the phone charged and not use its battery, gonna go out tonight with no Heart rate monitor I thought it was a great Idea I am diabetic and 300 bucks I thought was a good amount I figured I could watch my heart rate make sure I am good during my extreme parts.  But Fitbit really doesn't care about our health I bet most of them PEOPLE in CHARGE  don't even use fibits and they don't even exercise!
