Fitbit TSV?

[grovesy]

I don't know about the TSV one but I have the plain charge it is not waterproof. If your interested I suggest you look on fitbit forums. They are not without problems.

I have a fitbit, kept it going for a few weeks, started to irritate my skin now so left if off and then it wouldn`t sync. I only wanted to get an idea about steps, HR and my sleep. I got enough info, so am not bothered wearing it now. Would never bother buying another. Also needed re charging every two days

Mine irrates my skin too if I do not swap wrists every couple of days. I have the app downloaded on my phone and they are constantly updating it but it still not works properly at least 2-3 times a week.
This is also my second one first broke after 4 Months with what appears to be a common problem and my current on started to come apart after about 6 Months again with a another common problem , can't be bothered to get a replacement.

My niece also found the fitbit made her wrist sore. Interesting to see she's not the only one who's had this issue.

There community forum makes interesting reading.
Though they seem to be good at replacing broken wristbands , they don't seem to address the problems, and as they are not cheap.

Are you sure it was the fitbit charge HR that was £66. I've never seen it lower than £79 and that was black only.

The fitbit charge I have seen around the £60-£70 mark.

it went rather quickly but this price is very good as at the moment they are heading nearer the £100 mark

 

[DunmowDizzy]

I purchased my first fitbit last jan 1st on a special one dat only price on Amazon. I upgraded to the charge HR when it came out during the year.

My guess would be that they will do a one day only price on the charge HR this January 1st now that I'm aware that they sold it at such a great price already on one occasion.

I got one last January and I admit I thought it was quite good. After I'd got the gist of what my activity levels and sleep patterns were over the first couple of months the novelty did kind of wear off and it was more like just a watch. Then the strap split and fell off about June and it went in the bin. Expensive novelty in my opinion, I wouldnt waste my money again.

(Ps hello again peeps - not been on for ages!)

Shame you didn't get in touch with fitbit, they would have sent you a new one as they have a no quibble guarantee for 12 months. The strap on the fitbit HR is a lot better than the previous model.

 

[ERICS MUM]

They have a very good customer service team and would have sent you a replacement.

I've got the FitBit Zip and I love it but the neoprene case doesn't last long which is a basic design fault. It was easy to get a free replacement though.

The trouble with the charge was that the gubbins part of it was moulded into the strap, it's not a separate thing if that makes sense, so it wouldn't be possible to get a replacement strap, the whole thing would have to be replaced. I probably should have contacted them with the benefit of hindsight, if only to let them know I was so unimpressed!

 

[DunmowDizzy]

Yes they just would have just sent you a whole new unit. We bought charges last January where the strap broke in the summer and we contacted them by email and they sent out a brand new boxed replacement.

 

[DunmowDizzy]

Also my son lost his and some kind person who found it contacted fitbit and sent it to them. Fitbit called us and couriered it back to us.

Impressive customer service and impressive that there are good people out there too. Unfortunately we couldn't find out who it was to thank them although we asked fitbit to pass on our thanks.
