Goodbye My Fitbit One

[Richie9911]

Today I have to say goodbye to my Fitbit One. I want to thank Fitbit for this awesome tracker. I think my One has run its course. It's too bad that the One is no longer available. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. The Fitbit Inspire is not an option for me. My one lasted me 6 years. 

24,840,324 steps, 35209 floors for a total of 11,222 miles. RIP my friend.

Thanks for that information. I'll take a look at my wife's One. Mine is still working so far.

Should just hire you to perform the surgery

Mine is losing charge quick. Charge lasts 2 days. 😞

I don't want to say bye. They need to make more Ones.  I don't want a watch.  Had mine for 8 yrs.

Wow! 8 years! That gives me some hope! I'm coming up on 6.

@ASweetz 2 days is inconvenient but at least it's still working! I've got a similar situation on my Surge but I'm not replacing the battery in that until it stops charging. 8-years is impressive! Mine lasted over 4 (2013 to 2017) then died, I'd repaired it last year. Many people's ones have died by now. They've discontinued this version. I'm very happy with my One using the replacement battery as it's been getting around 2 weeks between charges. Cheers!

I meant to add this syncing tip that helps me....

On your app (I use an Android phone), press and hold the widget to display the app options; you should see choices like: uninstall, force stop, disable.  

Choose disable, then force stop. Then re-open the app. You shouldn't need to uninstall, but of course that could work.  I generally don't need do that however. The app-fix is usually my last ditch fix to get my sync to "un-stupid" itself and sync my data on The One device.  Usually resyncing with the dongle to my laptop with my dashboard open, is enough.  But over the past couple of days, I was at risk of missing 2-3 days of steps data.  The app-fix is my go-to in these situations. Hope this is helpful!!

Do you still have your rubber case for your fb1? My wife is in  need of a cover for her 1.

Hi @Ron55  a friend has been getting Zip cases from Amazon as Fitbit doesn't have them. Just did a quick look and you can find quite a few of the One covers for sale in a variety of colors. Can't hurt to check them out.

😭😭😭 my One has offically died. It has given me more than 7 yrs of accounting for where I have been and account for my steps and advised I have at least walked the wall of China. Sucks that there isn't another clip on available as I am not interested in a watch. Goodbye fitbit until I can work on my saudering skills. Why why why?  You have gone too soon

[paulamak]

I'm so sorry!  Mine will be 6 years old in April. I don't understand why FitBit doesn't bring back the One unless it's because it lasts so long.  They got a reliable one...why not use it??  OH!  To make more money????

[ASweetz]

They can make $$$ if they brought it back. I would surely buy it. Now on the hunt for another clip on unless fitbit releases a new one soon

[Odyssey13]

@ASweetz  the Inspire has an optional clip and it's similar to the One. It doesn't have an altimeter, so it can't recognize flights of stairs. It's the closest to the One that Fitbit has.

[paulamak]

I'd be right there with you!!!

[paulamak]

Thx for letting me know that! I'll keep that in mind!!!

Hey there, I had success two years ago on Amazon to find covers for The One device.  Although this item is not available on Amazon now (I just checked)  - perhaps a similar naming search can yield the right cover.  I ordered a multi color 3-pk, and today have only used one of them without any problems.  Honestly these covers are more sturdy and don't loosen at the bottom, as the original device covers seemed to do.  Good Luck 🙂

I got good cheap ones on Amazon, better than the one it came with.

Thanks Odessy!

I had a one died a few years back, got the Alta hr for over a year, it won’t sync anymore,,,bought an inspire this week, with the clip, all good, except the silent alarm is useless can’t even fell it, why I wanted the clip.it’s on it way back to amazon

Anyone have experience with any other devices that have a good vibration alarm .

[JEH1]

I will be watching to see if anyone has an option. After seven years my One just died one day.

niw that China is reopening a little bit, I am considering replacing the battery. I have to find the post- was it in this forum? 
So far, I am just using my old Polar watch and missing my One- the alarm, the steps, the stairs, the quirky little messages, the durability... Maybe when all this awfulness recedes, someone will listen to us and a  One Two will rise from the ashes. Phoenix One?:)

[Williger]

@JEH1 Yes it is. I've not heard anything about Fitbit re-releasing the one but I'm sure a lot of people would like to learn this to be true! I'd definitely recommend replacing the battery in your already out of warranty tracker, it's easy to do and the instructions are in this actual thread as well as a new one a user created with his step by step instructions. Mine sat dead in a drawer for a year before I'd considered installing a replacement and it's been rocking great ever since. FYI there are batteries on eBay as of the time of this posting both in China and in the states, claiming 2-3 day shipping.
