I've had a fitbit one since...near as I can tell...September 2014.  I'm wondering how long I should expect it to last?

If you have/had a fitbit, which one do you have and how long have you had it?  If you've had more than one, please cover all of them.

And thanks!

I have to ask .....   Are you using it consistently?    

The reason I ask is that I recently read an article in Time Magazine that said, of fitbit users polled, less than ten percent were still using it at the one year mark!

@Tinkrbl44  Yes.  Well...at least until it went missing I was using it every day.

One of the reasons I'm asking is...can I figure it was about done, and figure it's time for a replacement anyway?  That it wouldn't have lasted much longer?

Fitbit usually will replace a broken one within a year.

Mine was over a year old and gave it away to justify an upgrade.

If you have had it a long time the new upgrades are interactive and fun.

@esmerelda - I have had my Fitbit One since June 2013.  I wear it all day every day.  Did have to replace the clip on holder about 2 years ago because it caught on something and the tip came loose.  I have been eyeballing a replacement (still prefit the Fitbit One) because it seems to me it has to poop out some day...

I've had a Fitbit one for, gee, between three and four years. I've used it every single day since getting it. Even when I broke my foot. lol

I think we are going into the 3rd year of ownership

@ceekay  No, the clip was fine.  The rubber part on the end of the clip was gone which made it a little hard on the fingers to put it on.  The wristband (for nighttime) gave up the ghost many months ago.

It (the fitbit) just sort of disappeared one day.  It hasn't synced since I saw iot last, so it isn't near the computer.  But the battery is still about a third charged. 

I'm going to get another.  I love the One.

Also should say there were days when I thought the fitbit didn't capture all of my steps.  And near the end (of when I had it), it was giving me credit for all kinds of flights of stairs and I have no idea where that was coming from.  So maybe it was starting to fail a bit. 

Good to know yours has lasted so long.  I'll try to keep a better hold on the new one.

@esmerelda The black one is about $76 on Amazon.  I take the step ounts with a grain of salt because if I take an elevator it seems to count that as flights of steps.  I really like the One as I do not like to wear wrist jewelry other than a watch (and that only when I am out of the house).  Good luck on your quest.  Your old one will probably show up one day when you least expect it.  Or maybe it went where missing socks go...
