Flimsy Wristband Clasp Makes this Tracker a Waste of Money
I had my Fitbit Flex for less than a month before the poor design of the clasp caused me to lose the device. From day one, the clasp was flimsy, but each time the Fitbit fell off my arm, I noticed and picked it back up. I even took a small rubber band and put it around the clasp to help hold it on, but that didn't help much either.
I've never been so disappointed in the construction of a product that costs $100. Shame on the Fitbit engineering/design team for letting such poor design reach the production line.
Too bad that the clasp is such a terrible design, because I loved being able to track my activity, and recommended this product to many of my friends, who also went out and bought this device. Now, though, I feel bad for recommending this product and feel I should let the world know what a waste of money the Flex was.
The folks at Fitbit should recall this device!
