my charge 3 is now displaying a grey screen with white streaks. I've only got it for less than 6 months.

I am having the same issues with my charge 3 and have tried the posted fixes (restarted Fitbit, and searched for updates) . None worked. Are there alternatives?
Thanks for information leading to a resolution.

Hi, and thanks for getting back with me.
Unfortunately, I was not offered a replacement and it wouldn't have bothered me so much except that this is the 3rd fitbit that I purchased and I am having problems with! I am at my wits end. I always happen to run into problems after my warranty runs out and instead of fixing the issue, I am offered a discount to purchase another one. That will make it my 4th Fitbit tracker! I have had to condemn my Alta, Alta HR or Charge 2 ( can'trecall accurately), now my Charge 3. I really resent this practice. The Fitbits are not cheap and it is frustrating to me. I am putting this out there to see if I can get a replacement, which would be the fair and decent thing to do. Waiting to see how the Fitbit company will respond!

I join you here. I had the same problem. Fitbit offered me a 35% discount on some of their Fitbit models. It seems the discount is not extended to the new models. I have my Charge 3 for a little less than two years. I take good care of it and just don't understand why this is happening. As you mentioned, Fitbits are not cheap and I too resent their practice. I asked about the average lifetime of a Fitbit and was told between 2 - 3 years.

Thanks for your vote @Solangevsmith. 2-3 year lifespan cannot be accurate. I know those who use older devices, and that thought process will be a bad sales strategy! If that's the case, then Fitbit should have published that disclaimer very clearly to inform the buyer at purchase. I am still waiting for a response from Fitbit. This practice may need to be exposed. It is unacceptable.

This is sounding frustratingly familiar.
And annoying.
I wonder if the knockoffs are of higher quality?
