  1. My Fitbit Versa 2 never recorded my sleeping details I am trying to Lucid Dream and need to know my REM sleep I will be 80 next birthday Now when I press the start button nothing happens. I am lost without it.My daughter bought it for me; invoice/order no 204/3060313/9232351, Siobhan O’Brien,119 Sweetbriar Lawn, Tramore Co. Waterford, Ireland, X91C789. Ordered on 15/ 07/2021. so it is not covered by warranty. I appeal to you for help. Love, Light and Peace,

    Philip

  2. I have a Charge5 and recently Fitbit updated the software which is not very good, I can’t get the battery level by swiping down. I have to put the battery charger on to see the battery level. The battery level on the watch screen is to small, cannot read.
    Please either fix the issue or bring back the old software, there was nothing wrong with it.

  3. I just bought a Fitbit Sense 2 and was excited about the new health features my versa 2 didn’t have.

    Unfortunately, all 7 bands that say they fit the Fitbit Sense 2 do not (from different stores, including Best Buy.) Well, not one of them fit!

    I do not wear plastic/ Silicone/ Rubber bands never have never will. I am extremely disappointed with how I spent my money. Because I won’t wear it without a new band.

    The Fitbit Sense 2 bands are rose gold, silver, or pink leather band.

    And now, I can’t return it because I had to rip the Box to get it open and never would have dreamed that I would want to return it, so I threw the Box away.

    Merry Christmas to me😔

  4. Hi good day i need help my fitbit inspire app is just saying that the fitbit is down for maintenance this is happening since saturday 11 2022 i cannot login neither because it is saying that my password is incorrect. please someone assist me. thank you

    • Hi Debra,

      If you haven’t already please restart your phone or device that has the Fitbit app and is getting this message. Once restarted, try to open the app and see if it works. If it still doesn’t close the Fitbit app, then relaunch it.

  5. Reeeaally don’t like my new Inspire 2!! So preferred the Fitbit Alta. This one seems to have a mind of it’s own. So clunky. So disappointing. Going to go back to my Alta.

    • Hi Ronnie,

      It depends on how old your device is–if it’s less than one year old (or two years in Europe/Uk), contact Fitbit Support asap and then should fix or replace it for free. If it’s older than one year (or two years in Europe/UK,) I would still reach out to support to see what your options are. They often provide you a loyalty discount on a new Fitbit.

      You could also go to a local repair shop and get a quote for a new screen–these types of repairs are often cheaper than you think.

  6. Just curious … I really love that we can now keep track of Diabetes on Fitbit, but would really like to see if you can add a place to add glucose readings for before and after workouts too!!! That would be over the top!!!!!

  7. I do not want to pay someone to help me with my Fitbits! That’s what Fitbit’s help and support are for.

    I’m not happy that 2 of my Fitbits aren’t working and there no one at Fitbit Support to help me

    • Hi Christine,

      We are very sorry to hear that two of your Fitbits aren’t working as you expect. As mentioned in the article, we have had a lot of success in reaching Fitbit via chat.

      Since you are in the UK, here is the link to connect with Fitbit in the UK and select the Lets’ Talk get Support link on that page. You can also call 0800 069 8505.

  8. I got sense fit bit the wrist bend came apart, I thought something was coming up my hand lifted my hand and was the watch falling hit the ground and cracked the face.

    I would like to get it exchanged.

    How can it be repaired?

    Did anyone else ever have the band come apart off the watch?

    • Hi Edmond,

      We are very sorry to hear that your Fitbit Sense fell and cracked its screen as a result.

      If you believe the watch band was somehow defective, keep that watchband and contact Fitbit support and send them pictures of how the band failed.

      Since your watch is under its warranty period, they should fix it or replace it.

  9. Fitbit is not registering my texts and won’t turn on when you look at it, flick your wrist, do anything. Will take full refund of my product at full retail price.

    • HI Ronald,

      Sorry to hear that your Fitbit isn’t working like you expect.

      If you tried all the steps to troubleshoot it (see this article for blank screen issues: Fitbit display screen black and not working or turning on? Let’s fix it!), then your best option is to contact Fitbit’s Support team.

      They will run a warranty check with you and if it’s outside the warranty period, offer you options.

      If you purchased the product using a credit card, also be sure to check any warranty extensions offered by the credit card company.

    • Hi Rhonda,

      If your Fitbit is within its warranty period, then reach out to Fitbit Customer Support as outlined in the article.

      Fitbit will either fix or replace any device that’s not working under its warranty.

      Make sure you have proof of purchase or the date it was gifted to you to prove that the device is still under its warranty period.

  10. My Fitbit screen has gone blank yet the green light under is working all effort to resolve failed. Meanwhile I am in Ghana – Africa.
