ktgrok Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) My Fitbit Charge HR has been malfunctioning. It gives me 3-40 flights of stairs a day despite me not going up any stairs. Ever. Not as a fluke, not due to wind or barometric pressure issues (I was indoors, and checked the weather) and it's driving me nuts. Fitbit customer service will send me a new one free of charge because it has been less than a year, so under warranty. OR I can get 30% the new Fitbit Charge 2. I'd been eying the Charge 2, it's a bit nicer, but even with the discount would cost me about $100. I CAN spend that money, but it's almost the holidays so seems unwise/silly. Anyone have the new Charge 2 and think it's that much better than the HR? Or should I just replace what I have? UPDATE: Just going to get the replacement. 30% off isn't enough of a discount to make me jump on it. I can get 25% off over the holidays just shopping sales! Makes more sense to get the replacement, and then if I really want the newer version sell that one!

ktgrok Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 My Fitbit was giving me 100 stairs/day for a week then it stopped. This has been for at least a month, probably longer, and every single day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Looks like the new features are: multi sport tracking for yoga, weight lifting, etc (I do those), text message and calendar alerts, and not sure what else. Also, you can change the band, not sure I care or not about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 ok, decided to just get the replacement. 30% isn't enough of a discount to bump me up. Honestly, I found plenty of 25% off sales last year over the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I love everything about my charge hr except the band. If you can sell and switch I would while it is still saleable. Mine is nearly 2 years old and is the band is falling apart. In reading complaints, this is very common, and is probably a big reason the charge2 has replaceable bands. I'm hoping to find one on sale before mine falls off completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
