The following message was the best so far! Hilarious!
Every day I get a little reminder at 20:00 exactly.
It reminds me to never ever ever ever buy a Fitbit product again.

Is this issue related to the phone tha one has their Ionic Fitbit tied to? I am getting the annoying message and like others have stated, the calibration can’t be performed. I am tied to my iPhone OS. My boyfriend also purchased the Ionic Fitbit and he has no issues. He is tied to an Android OS. Both Fitbits are running the same version firmware and OS.
Thank you to your engineers for looking into this issue.

So are we saying that the best solution is to take the watch back to the store and have it exchanged for a new one, spend the hour or so setting up the new watch, and repeat until you find one that successfully calibrates?
I think I may still be able to return mine, but not for much longer...

If you re in the UK have a look at the which site and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
I believe it can be argued that FitBit are the retailer for the upgrade and yo have 30 days to refuse/return it or a refund.
if not then there is 6 months from purchase from the retailer as this has a fault.
(or the guarantee itself?)

You have got to be flipping kidding me. After 6 weeks that s your response? and ending with see you around, not if I can help it.

This is totally unacceptable customer service after 6 weeks! If the proposed fix the enigineers have supposedly been working on will be rolled out with the next firmware update, the least you could do is provide an estimated date of the next firmware update?
Is it likely to be 1 week/month/year?!?
Cusumers have the right to know and make a decision if they are prepared to wait or if they wish to return their watches!
Previous promises of certain updates to the Charge HR 2 were promised for nearly a year, only then for people to be told the updates wouldn’t be happening at all! This is not good customer service all or good for FitBits reputation!

My Fitbit has been returned, and a refund is being processed. Goodbye FitBit, a lousy product, but appalling and horrendous customer service. Never again. Good luck with your future releases; you'll need it. I recommend everyone on this thread keep the pressure on for a refund because it does happen and tell your friends about your experience.
