This is a warning to say you may want to think twice about using a metal band with your Fitbit. I purchased an unofficial band from Amazon. Few weeks after my Versa died. Screen had a dim light on the edges, but wouldn't display anything. Not even a hard reset worked.
New replacement came once I contacted Fitbit. Put same band on, and immediately saw a slight flickering so I'm reverting back to a non magnetic band. I want warn you as I know some people are having no issues, but I do think it interferes with it somehow.
Would be interesting to see if any other fellow Fitbitters have experienced this.

The Fitbit monitors changes in arm direction and speed. It doesn't monitor magnetic fields
