Some weeks ago, I lost my One.
I noticed it synced later that day, and that, in fact, whomever had found it, had finished the same race I was running, and hoped they would turn it in.
Unfortunately, they never did. More recently, the One in question, has disappeared from my account. Support has informed me that a device 'disappears' when it is paired with another account.
That explanation aside, I still have no idea WHY it's possible to pair a device with another account without confirmation of the original account holder.
It would be trivial to send an email to the current account holder, requesting confirmation of the change. (Bonus points for including the IP address of the requesting client) But it does not appear that that has been done.
Fitbit, please confirm device changes. It will squash the secondary market for stolen hardware, and make your customers more loyal.
Thanks,
