I reached out to customer support in chat today.  My Sense is stuck on the Fitbit logo.  He asked me to change the clock face and restart…. Didn’t work!  That was it!  You have no other suggestions to fix this product?  PATHETIC!   He said we will send you an email about your options.  Well…. I have no options basically…. Was just sent a coupon to buy a new one.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME??  Obviously you are having issues so WHY would I waste my money on another Fitbit?  Mind you… I have been a loyal customer for a very long time and have encouraged friends and family to purchase a Fitbit as well.  Here is where that all STOPS!  Word of mouth is king… Don’t forget that! People spend their hard earned money on your products and you can’t make things right?  Epic failure on your part!

This seems to be a very common issue! 

Today I shut off my sense because it wasnt allowing me to access the exercise menu. Not it just keeps flashing the fitbit logo and vibrating. I am not sure what there is to do since holding the button to restart it doesnt fix it. 

I have also started a thread on Twitter about this with Google as they are the parent company - https://x.com/golfwithtbone/status/1698744827230265479?s=46&t=69pVhHFoExaHnZC90rkong please go share that and see if we can make traction.

@MarreFitbit can you help these 30 people find a solution to their problem without ordering a new device at a discount? Why is this happening to so many people all of sudden? Was there a bad patch or update?

Update: after a factory reset this was the result of my issue -

Same EXACT thing for me. My Sense worked perfectly fine for a good while,
then last week of august hits and it becomes a brick without any kind of
change from me.

Mine is the exact same thing. I have had this for less than a year and now I can't even use it. Reading everything on here....this isn't fixable?!? So I have had 9 months of an expensive product...great

My Fitbit sense started doing the exact same thing today and I was offered the same 2 fixes, of which neither one worked. I’m waiting for my email response but based on your post I know what to expect. Seems like it is an issue specific to the Fitbit sense wat

I sent mine into assurion - I got the warranty when I bought my Fitbit from Amazon. Waiting on the verdict from them. Maybe they can fix it

I responded and retweeted. I also sent a email to NBC and the local newspaper here in Denver. I'm going to send out more emails this weekend.

My fitbit charge lasted 4 years and they I upgraded to the versa and it's still working just fine. I gave it to my friend, when I bought the sense. so it's not necessarily Fitbit it's the sense model.

I got an extended warranty with Assurion too. I forgot about that! So you called Assurion? And filed a claim?

Same thing happened to me.  I am out of warranty and got a 35% off coupon.  Why would I ever buy a new one?  It has to be a google issue.  Why won't they fix it?

Fitbit just proved to all of us that they don’t care,they have a BAD PRODUCT and it’s going to cost them TOO MUCH MONEY To honor the WARRANTY

I have a Sense having the same exact issue. I talked to Customer Service and had a similar experience, the warranty dept. will get back to me.  If they offer some nominal discount on a new device I am done with them.  This is obviously a common issue that they should take responsibility for. This is my 3rd Fitbit device and everyone has failed!

Yep, heard back from Fitbit warranty dept today ( after calling to inquire why I had not gotten a reply yet). They think a 35% discount on another device is fair compensation for a $300 tracker that lasted 18 months.  $200 to purchase a replacement that will likely fail in the same timeframe!  I have purchased 3 expensive Fitbit devices, all three have failed just out of warranty!  Time to take my money somewhere else.
