Yeah I bought my ionic heavily discounted with airline points so to get the full price paid directly to my PayPal was nice. I did end up replacing it with a Garmin which I like even though it doesn't track my sleep as accurately.

Fitbit wristbands are a total scam, they are built to fail and you can either register a warranty claim for the band or, as the company is banking on, you shell out $40-90 for a new strap. This is on top of them introducing a paid subscription for a freaking watch!

The ionic I had wasn't even the original one, I had to have it replaced under warranty because the face ripped off.

The recall was good PR, but the product itself is bad PR.
