Tested against the negative comments, all but one are true! Love this Fitbit! Ok so I promised myself I would test out the Fitbit against the several negative comments and come back and leave a review. All but ONE of the negative comments prove true. Let me start with the negative comments that proved untrue and why:Myth 1: this Fitbit doesnât record accurate heart data, especially when working out. TRUTH: Yes it does record extremely accurately, including during workouts but you have to read the instructions!! When you workout the instructions say to tighten the strap one hole tighter than you usually wear it. Then you move the Fitbit 1-2 finger widths up from where your wrist meets your hand. After doing this I checked the Fitbit heart rate against my polar heart monitor every 5 minutes during a 45 min kickboxing workout. It was EXACTLY in tune with the polar heart rate monitor, always right on or within 5 BPM. The people who say otherwise are not following instructions or giving it a chance to figure out the best wrist placement.Myth 2: The…
Fitbit Customer Service is the WORST!!! My Fitbit Alta HR has been super buggy over the last couple of months (screen goes dead midday despite full battery) and I followed all the troubleshooting advice (which usually consisted of a “reset”). It helped for awhile, but this week the HR monitor stopped working altogether. This is the SECOND Fitbit that I have owned that mysteriously stopped working around a year after purchase (I had the Charge previously that literally started falling apart after a year). When I contacted Customer Service, their “canned” response was that my device was beyond the one year warranty window (by two months, FYI), and the best they could do was offer a 25% discount on my next Fitbit…end of story. I have now had two failed products from this company…that’s a ridiculous track record and abysmal customer service…why on earth would I buy another?!? There are WAY too many fitness trackers on the market these days at WAY more reasonable prices to treat customers this way.
I didn’t like the product itself Item arrived not NEW. I didn’t like the product itself, I should have read more comment about it before buying. It’s hard to use, and I realized I better by smartwatch.What I don’t like: – it’s vibrates only ones when phone is ringing and vibration is too subtle, so I will probably miss the call if my phone is in backpack or somewhere in the pocket where I don’t feel it. That is why I want to feel vibration on my hand as other smartwatches do. – tapping constantly (and hard enough) on display is nightmare, it’s not usable for me or my wife. – icons are too small on display – twisting wrist constantly is hard – display is constantly goes off. it’s like 8 bit display, why can’t you make it show time all the time, I need to know time when I need it, w/o twisting my arm like crazy. – it doesn’t count steps correctly. I really don’t know how it counts, but it counts something different. – when I bought this wristband, there was already…
