They ended up sending me 5 in 2 years before I switched to Garmin.

I was very pissed. I splurged on new tech, really enjoyed it. And they lost a customer for life. I had probably bought 8-10 fitbits over the years for me and my family. Never again, and I’ll shit talk them anytime I get the chance. I’m on year 3 or 4 of my Apple Watch, no issues at all.

Similar situation. Luckily, my wife has not had issues with her versa but when it dies we’re definitely going to an Apple Watch or Garmin.

I didn't even deal with it, I moved to garmin when my second ionic stopped working. Bought a venu then a Fenix 7ss when the 7 was released and then a couple of months later decided to upgrade to the 7x. Haven't looked back.
