FitBit One is dying

[SueW25]

I love my Fitbit One, but I’ve been having problems syncing it, so I know it won’t last much longer.  I was looking at the Inspire 2, but it looks like it doesn’t track stairs.  I will only use a clip tracker.  Does anyone know if Fitbit is considering bringing back the one?

Fitbit tend to be very secretive about their future plans. I haven't heard anything about a future version of the One but would be surprised as they seem focussed on wrist-worn devices given that heart rate tracking is key to many of their new features.

I did find an old feature suggestion asking for the One to be brought back and you may like to add your vote. It's at https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/Bring-back-Fitbit-One/idi-p/4148197

Note, though, that it doesn't have many votes and Fitbit's comment that they don't currently have any plans for this. Perhaps, with more votes they will reconsider.

PS I started with a One and in many ways I think it's been their best

Thank you for your reply.  Hopefully my One will keep going longer than I think it will.

@SueW25,

Is it that it is not reliably syncing or that it doesn't keep a charge?  If it's the latter, I posted a walkthrough on replacing the battery on the Fitbit One and now mine lasts about a week.

I hope this helps.

@SueW25 I'm not understanding the correlation between syncing and the potential life of your device, these are most likely two separate issues, so if it's holding a battery charge fine, hopefully, you can find out what's circumventing consistent syncing and get back to enjoying it. If, however, your battery isn't lasting long, that's another situation.
