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!

Matte, does Fitbit realize customer expectation is that your devices will last much longer than the warranty period? Mine just failed after 18 months while my $30 Casio watches are still goin after 30+ years. Am I off base thinking Fitbit devices should have similar reliability? I have owned 3 Fitbit trackers, all 3 have failed just out of warranty. Word will get around sooner or later.

Hello Maria, obviously there is a software issue that causes the devices to not be able to be restarted successfully. Is there perhaps a software solution that could be pushed through? I'm not sure if the device has to actually be booted in order to get updates or connected to a PC, but figured it was worth an ask. I mean the device worked perfectly until something in the programming created a do-loop. I just hate to see a perfectly good device have to be returned or shelved if there's a chance to do a programming fix.

Mine did the same thing. I was about 3 weeks outside of warranty so was given the coupon. I have chatted with support a few times now and even contacted Google. Their response is absolutely disgraceful. I have repeatedly asked them what the warranty policy is for software/firmware and nobody will give me a reply. It is clearly not a hardware issue since it's happening to so many at roughly the same time. The warranty is a 1-year HARDWARE warranty....not a software warranty. I got told that software updates are meant to enhance and improve the device. Uhhh yeah, but somebody obviously messed up and it caused this problem. When I told them that it was clearly a software issue and I know they are getting multiple complaints for this issue, they just ignore that and say that they will email me. Then I get told I can have a coupon but I'm outside my warranty. my hardware warranty! It wasn't a hardware problem! Still waiting on a reply from Fitbit for what their policy is regarding software warranty ....that I doubt will ever happen because I don't think they have one or will ever take accountability . If you are a moderator on here, I would be going to my superiors and saying that there is a massive problem and offering 35% coupon is a slap in the face. The company has an opportunity to show positive customer service and accountability and that will make them a lot more money in the long run than giving us all the run around and denying they're responsible for the screw up. Do the right thing Fitbit.

It like the same disaster story over and over again with the owner is trying to ignore the problem until we all get sick of it and go some where else. Very disappointed with fit bit

No - the mods on this forum just delete posts that give bad press - has anyone had a working fix from any of the support crew? No, me neither.
