Hi, anyone know if simlim sells Fitbit charge 2 replacement straps?

How long did you used it? So easy to spoil? I am thinking to get one actually.My watch only clock 11 steps since I woke up 1 and a half hours ago.
On Many occasions it just stop counting.
My Charge 2 died last night. It lasted from Sept 2016. Battery always shows flat and no display. Any 3rd party repair?
Have you tried cleaning charging areas on your watch and charger with isopropyl ? I notice Charge 2 can be very sensitive. Hope this is not too late. Do you know how to reset Charge 2?
It’s quite common for devices with dirty charging points not to charge. I frequently have this problem with one of my speakers. Just need to clean them. But you cannot let battery go flat, otherwise they really won’t charge.
I did clean the contact and it could charge the battery. However it failed to work as usual. It shows me notification on and off continuously till battery flat. Anyway decided to give up Fitbit product. Such a great product but they do not do repair parts. $200 worth of smart band for 1 year plus, do you think is worthy ?
My Charge 2 died while wearing on one afternoon. It just went blank screen. I charged it and it showed me flat battery level. After 30min, battery level showed full. But after wear for 5 min, it went blank screen again. So i decided to reset it and cleaned contact. Nothing improved. It just showed blank screen and heart beat indicator always on. I waited for the battery to drain flat after 2 days. I charged it and this time it took 1.5 hours to full charge. However it just showed me notification on and off continuously till batery flat. I guess it just went faulty. I contacted Fitbit support and they told me they do not do repair. What's a disappointment.No, not worth it. If I were you, I would be angry too. I can totally understand what you feel as I have a similar experience with another brand of product.
Is your button stuck? Pressing the button 3 seconds will turn notification on/off when it is not charging. When it is charging, it will do a reset after 4 seconds. If something is wrong with the button, you should see your Charge 2 reset continuously while charging. Then the continuous notification on/off makes sense.
If it is the button, I wonder if you could check it and clean it.
Be careful while cleaning though. Fitbit Charge 2 cannot be turned off, so technically bad idea to let anything, even fast drying liquid, slip inside.

The fact that it doesn't do a continuous reboot during charging would mean the button and related connection is fine. If resetting cannot solve the problem then it is not software. It is confirmed faulty. So sad.
We bought 4 Charge 2 last Jul-Sep for extended family members, so I have reasons to be concerned. Even though it is only one year warranty, we hope they would last longer.
Thanks. How does extended warranty work since they dun repair?
I meant I am crossing my fingers the Charge 2 we bought would last longer.
My first tracker was a Garmin Vivosmart 3. The strap broke within warranty period. For Garmin, you cannot change strap. I contacted Convergent Systems, the company supporting Garmin warranty in Singapore, and they said they would honour the warranty, but it would need at least a month to repair it. I went down to Ubi with my Garmin, and they still told me they needed a month or more as the unit was going to be mailed back somewhere. If they had stock of Vivosmart 3, they would have done a 1-1 exchange instead.
The next day, I received a call from Convergent Systems saying they would upgrade me to Vivosport (RRP $299). I was very happy with the solution. I think the norm is not to repair, but to exchange 1-1. Fitbit honours warranty in the same way. Hence, it may be better to negotiate for a trade-in out of goodwill.
Just curious, what happens when you launch your Fitbit App now? Is it still communicating with your Charge 2, like, can it sync?
$299, I hope it last you for 3 years to make it worthy.
If I charge it, it could sync it. But since it is no longer working, I have not been using it for a while. I am waiting for Mi band 3 to arrive
