I bought my fitbit versa 14 months ago and have loved it. I found it motivating and at the time of purchase saw reviews about the product failing that I disregarded hoping that the company had worked out the kinks. My original tracker died within 6 months of purchase and I appreciate how it was easily replaced. I woke up this morning to a dead tracker and unfortunately because I am outside of the warranty there is no further support being offered for the failed product. A discount was offered but at this rate I cannot continue to invest in a new watch every 1-2 years and would rather look into a smart watch which may be more of an investment if the sustainability and product support is greater. I value quality products and customer service and I am so sad to find that this has not been valued with my interactions with the Fitbit support team. Buyer beware, please shop around or be prepared to replace!

I have owned the watch for 14 months now, paid for the rose gold special edition only to have the tracker malfunction not once but 2 times. The first tracker lasted about 6 months and the second lasted just over 8 months. Even though neither tracker has lasted a full 12 months customer service has no options but to buy a new one. Has anyone else had this issue or have a better remedy? It's been extremely frustrating dealing with customer service reps who seem to have little care for a poorly made product. Looking like a move to the apple watch....
