Has anyone had this problem and is it safe to use superglue to fix.  See pic

YES!!!!!!!!

👏👏👏

This. All of this.

Also don't be surprised if your message is removed for "violating the rules of conduct" like one of my posts of a similar nature was. It appears Fitbit doesn't much like being called out for its known defects or asked to be responsible for remedying them.

Hello, wow 3 times!! And Wow No customer service! Nobody can blame you to go other brands! Even Fitbit ain't cheap, can't afford buying new ones again and again....

Hello, I feel your frustration!
I'm also Fitbit wearer since first model, prototype, one, too

I'm surprised you also had not just metal problem but also overheat problem!!!
Yes, I had overheat problem as well in the past model!!!!

I am curious. Some of us seem to have had a "send a quick screenshot and get a replacement without questions asked" experience (me).
Others had a lot more trouble.

Of those of you who got instant replacement without question, how many of you have a premium fitbit subscription?

I do.

How many who had a difficult experience did NOT have an active fitbit subscription?

I have an active subscription - it took me over a month to get a replacement. The problem was that I had a replacement product. I was still under the 1-year warranty period of my original purchase, but (based on my experience) it seems support will automatically deny coverage for any replacement product as not covered by the terms of the FitBit warranty policy. I ended up forcing their hand by quoting the policy on replacement products and asking them to confirm (in a chat) that FitBit was denying coverage in violation of their published policy. That finally did the trick, and I did the quick pic and the new unit was on the way.

[catherineroxit]

OK, I’m in the very same boat with my replacement. I’ll give that a try. Thank you!

[SPMonroe]

here's the policy from the FitBit website - verbatim...

“…Any replacement Product will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer.”

The Fitbit sense 2 is awful in terms of build quality. I bought two one for me and my wife and both have had the mental sensors fall off. On my device BOTH fell off on the same day! I contacted Fitbit and after some back and forth they supplied replacements. These were not new and were only refurbished which I thought was awful considering my devices were only a couple of months old. Guess what, the contact points fell off again! Discontinue these watches and give us our money back!

[Viamond-zap7]

OMG! Only few months!? And 2 of them 😱😩 They should have replaced with brand new ones!!!!!

Honestly that’s exactly what Fitbit should do! Either stand behind your product and fix the problem or refund everyone who has gone through this multiple times.

Mine did it for the second time, and this time it’s not under warranty. This is 100% a manufacturer defect.   At the price point of this product I expected better!

[Gnuthinker]

This was true the first time it happened; however today my second sense2 did it and was not covered.  Out of warranty you will only get a discount, and in my opinion not enough of one to make me stay with Fitbit.  I have been a user since they were pebble.  This is a design flaw or MANUFACTURING defect! My experience today with customer support 150% soured my opinion of Fitbit and I’m leaving with the take away they make junk & no longer care.

I can tell you it does not reset with the new device.  So be aware you likely will be only given a relatively minor discount on a new device through their store.

I have the same problem now. One came out and I was managing as it was but now both of the metal trims have fallen off. What can I do now? I got it as a gift from the US and now I'm using it in India. Whom do I contact and how do I fix this?

[BrandiL77]

 I contacted Fitbit about mine yesterday about this issue, because it JUST happened. I was told it wasn't covered under warranty. I see it has been a common problem. This is the last Fitbit I will ever buy. The Fitbit I had before this one, the whole face fell off. 

[BrandiL77]

They didn't even offer me a discount...

[BrandiL77]

I also just discovered that the sensors won't work unless I press the watch down hard enough for that copper contact to touch my skin. 

[Viamond-zap7]

Yeah, I had whole face off problem as well before...OMG I just realized I had all 3 problems, metal came off / overheat / whole face off before!!!!! Terrible.

It’s not covered under warranty unless it’s under a year old. 

[Gnuthinker]

After two sense 2 devices doing it at an age of about 7 months I chose a different device and canceled my subscription.  The problem is a manufacturing defect and the response left a 6+ year subscriber unwilling to even give another Fitbit device a chance.  At their quality level I can get as accurate and long lived service from a device at less than half the price.  Other can continue to throw away money but I am not willing to pay premium price for cheap junk. I believe you should get what you pay for and Fitbit is not living up to the expectation!

[Gnuthinker]

Yes it seems that about 7 months is a magic number.  Both of my sense 2 devices exhibited this issue on the same timeline. I’m convinced it’s a manufacturing or design defect.
