The Hemet gang strikes again!

I wish they’d offer a class action suit on the Fitbit HR (my last dog of a techno-purchase)… got a free replacement off of them, and that was no less of a brick than the original device I purchased. I was part of a multi-page minimum 5,000-post thread on its doggish behavior on the Fitbit forums, to the best of my knowledge nobody at the company ever fixed it… Gave one to my parents as a pedometer because at least I thought it would keep track of their walks if it did nothing else; my mother infamously resuscitated it (the lady is 70… I should try to make money off of her doing virtual IT troubleshooting), but it wasn’t four months before it was back to all its old incompetent non-tracking tricks. They gave it up as a bad job and bought a new fitness tracker; if I had known, she could have had a crack at my Macy’s-sourced Fitbit HR Brick #2, before shelling out money for a new one.

I’m shocked, shocked that Green Dot VGCs could have such poor security!

FitBit Settlement is basically click-bait. Very few models, only few states, with specific time-frames of purchase, 2014 and prior.  William Charles I would suggest at least saying something like “Fitbit Flex, One, or Ultra models only” and limited states (13/50).

I got baited. I clicked. And surprisingly bought a Fitbit Flex around 8/14 in Illinois.

And you still have the receipt? I can’t remember where I bought mine sadly.

Apparently I registered it when I got it. It must have been required when I set up my account because I rarely register things.

That’s cool. But I feel like the FitBit craze hit after 2014… with the Alta, released in 2016, likely being the most popular. Glad someone is benefiting from the bait, but 99.9% are probably just giving DDG some advertising dollars.

No biggie, I was just joking on the click bait comment. I was rather surprised I registered one. Bought several Flex during that period for gifts. Never bought any other version, went with the Apple Watch in 2017 and never looked back.
