My fitbit went into a factory reset on its own after the firmware update today. Now, it's in limbo between on and off, and loops every 3 seconds, so it's never on long enough to do anything. Fitbit customer support chat was clearly AI, didn't listen, didn't offer any solutions not on here already, and then offered a 35% discount to buy a new watch! This already happened once to me with Fitbit. Why would I buy yet another product from them when I can't trust this company to update the firmware without it destroying my watch?! DON'T BUY FITBIT!
Update: I'm sad you have experienced this too, but I'm glad I'm not alone.
How do we do report it? I would be on board because this is the second time this has happened to me in THREE years with fitbit.

Hi there, @AshleyWhiais. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the troubleshooting steps you've tried. I'm sorry to hear that your Versa 3 has stopped working. We‘re taking your comments and sentiments in regards to our products and services into consideration.
Thanks for your question about why we offered a discount towards a new Fitbit product instead of a replacement of your existing Fitbit product. Our limited warranty provides repair or replacement of products that have a defect while still in the warranty period. Your device is out of the warranty period, and therefore is not eligible for repair or replacement, but we want to offer you a discount to thank you for your loyalty to Fitbit. For more information about our warranty, see fitbit.com/legal/returns-and-warranty.
Even though I truly appreciate you took the time to come here and express your feelings towards your experience with your Versa 3 and also want to find a resolution to your issue, my best advice is to keep the conversation with our Support Team. Note for this kind of inquiries/cases/process, there's not so much we here in the forums can do for you as this is something that our team handles based on our policies. Thanks in advance!
Was my post helpful? Give it a thumbs up to show your appreciation! Of course, if this was the answer you were looking for, don't forget to make it the Best Answer! Als...

I think you had replied to my message about how fitbit's "update" messed up your watch. It looks like they deleted that comment and just "updated" my message with the replies I posted on yours. Unbelievable.

All but one of my posts have disappeared. I called and it is supposed to be bing sent up the chain but I got back something saying they didn't like my comments and would not be helping me. I was not rude and even stated that I knew it wasn't the person on the phones policy and that they limit what he can do. And that's why I asked for escalation. I am currently just looking at different brands. Makes me feel like my hard earned money was wasted due to my device being in great working order before the update.
