My Fitbit Ionic died while walking. No impact of any kind to the watch. I had always sync on and the last time it synced with phone at ~65% battery still remaining. Restart doesn't work. Hard reset doesn't work. Just can't do anything. Went through the community pages and found that there are many more like me and I am not the only faced this problem. This indicates that the watch design / manufacturing itself is having problem. Called customer service. They suggested to dump the watch and buy a new Fitbit. Big joke. 299 USD + tax for using less than 18 months? Not much help from customer service either. Why would I go and buy another from Fitbit when I have a bad experience with first one? At least not before trying another brand.
