Waste of money - zip

[StrngthGrl]

The Fitbit zip is a waste of money. I've read the forum notes regarding battery issues & tried all the remedies that people have posted.
I'm somewhat angry because when I read the reviews there was no mention of this problem.
I've only had my Zip since 15 November and it's now stopped working.
I will be advising friends, acquaintances & anybody who asks that it's a waste of money& certainly doesn't deserve its 95% rating the reviews gave it; more like 5%!!!

Hi @StrngthGrl !
I am sorry to hear you have also had this problem with your Fitbit Zip, I also had a bettery problem, that was solved by placing a thin disk of paper between the back of the battery and the zip battery door, since then my zip has worked well. Have you contacted the support team at Fitbit about your zip problem .. I found them to be very helpful.

I agree   Mine worked for one day .  I contacted customer service twice  The first girl was rude and the second man was nice but he had trouble understanding my English  (outsourced to Central America)   

Tomorrow I'm going to try to get my money back.  Years ago this was a good company.  No more.  I wonder what heppened?
