Fitbit Charge 4 broken band connector

[PKbrokenband]

I have Fitbit charge 4 and the connector where band is attached (plastic connector) has broken. Fitbit provided a replacement of the same and it also resulted in the same problem after few months. I have been offered another replacement with the caveat that there will be no further warranty (so essentially this is my last replacement) or 50% discount on new Fitbit. Question for the community is - Is this the design flaw? I have seen several threads that discuss this and it looks like a common problem. I can not attach new belt since the bel connector is broken. 

What would be my best option here? Take a replacement and expect that same problem will happen (it has happened twice already) and at that time buy new Fitbit or pay 50% on a new Fitbit device? Essentially pay anyways for a design flaw from the manufacture? 

I asked if I have another options and I have been told that's the best that can be offered. Any inputs from Fitbit would be valuable.

Hey, the same thing happened to me but this is my first time could you tell me how you got a replacement so I can get my thing fixed too coz I’ve been trying to fix it and it’s not working.

I am in the same boat and thinking that it sure seems like a design flaw that will continue to happen...

My Charge 4 has just done the same thing.  Very disappointing because I really like the Charge 4 otherwise.

Mine broke in the same place as well on 4/24/22. There are so many others that have done the same thing. I won’t be purchasing another one.

Definitely a design flaw that will happen. And battery life craps out eventually too. If you are allowed a free replacement, take it for now. And when it dies (which it will shortly), consider switching to a more reputable brand
