Fitbit falling apart

<p>hello peter</p> <p> </p> <p>When you buy a fitbit, they dont tell you that it is prone to breaking at the band and that you wont be able to get it repaired. If you are lucky it will break in warranty in which case they will replace, but if it breaks after then tough luck buy another. But it will break and you cant repair it . </p> <p> </p> <p>See extract below from ifixit org website:</p> <p> </p> <p>Review sites are full of customers upset about broken FitBits. People frequently reportbroken bands—though at least a band can be mended with Sugru. But the Better Business Bureau has received nearly a hundred complaints about devices that fail to sync, that stop holding a charge, and that stop turning on all together. If users or repair techs could get into their devices to change the battery, many of these dead FitBits might live again. Instead, the company recommends replacing dead devices.</p> <p>Geoffrey Clapp says he was on his seventh FitBit when he finally decided it wasn’t worth replacing again.</p> <p>“Somewhere around FitBit number four, friends started saying ‘you bought another one of those things? What did you expect?’” Clapp explains, comparing his love of FitBit to an on-again-of****ain relationship. “You know when your friends say ‘Really, you’re still with (or going back to) him/her?’—and then, when the same thing that always happens, happens again, you feel like a *****. Well, today, I feel like a *****.”</p>
