Water damage on Versa

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I'm on my second Versa in about a year.  I'm super frustrated!!  

My last Versa I got in August of 2018.  It died in July 2019.  It was nicely replaced with a new one, but it took almost 5 weeks for it to be replaced....5 weeks without my fitbit!  So now I've had this one since 7/24/19 and it has now also died. 

Today it was at 29% then when I was driving and all of a sudden it started buzzing on my wrist with old texts and then promptly died.  I went home to charge it and it showed zero percent.  I left it for an hour on the charger while making dinner and then checked it and it was super hot!  Took it off and still nothing.

Like so many others, I also see condensation in the back of it.  My previous Versa (and current) that didn't last a year, I would shower and swim with it.  Nothing crazy.  Not even laps.  As advertised, it should be able to handle the water.  In the chat I was told "an unusual case", but seeing all the complaints here it is not unusual at all!

I just got off the chat and again will receive a prepaid label to send it back.  They will not send a new one until the damaged one is received and assessed.  A free replacement is great, but the last time it took over 10 days for them to receive it (east coast to east coast).  Their prepaid label.  

I've been a Fitbit customer since almost the beginning, but I'm really not happy about this.  Again!
