Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received my Fitbit in October and really loved it. It was easy to use and kept me aware of my activity level. It was something I was excited to have and liked the app and monitoring for heart rate and sleep. After about 6 weeks of having it, I woke up with a very large burn on the wrist where I wear my Fitbit. I will note that I was wearing and using the device according to the instructions and was taking breaks from wearing it - there was nothing I did to cause this injury. After receiving the burn I moved the Fitbit to my other wrist, and after less than an hour a burn was forming on that wrist! These burns are very painful and large. I contacted Fitbit and they were unsurprised and told me to stop wearing any of their devices permanently. They said they did know this happens, but they have no plans to issue a recall or warn consumers about the danger. Because of that, I felt it was my duty to make potential buyers aware of this danger. I’ve included a photo of my burn not to be gross, but to show how serious this really is.
