People of this age are getting nmore and more dishonest. The so-called plaintifs who sue companies with no grounds, but just to make free cash.

Just like the other plaintifs who sued Apple (yes they had grounds) for the WI-FI assist scandal, but they demanded 5 Million bucks in damages… FIVE MILLION?!?!

An amount if money which they won’t even be able to reach in a full year of their spendings in their data plans, even with the WI-FI assist turned on!!!

Absolutely creepy!

Mxy! I dislike Apple because of their cruel business practices, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll wish the company to die or go bankrupt.

$5 Million fine for the WI-FI assist scandal iis harsh.

I won’t ever support injustice done to people, whether I love or hate them.

Maybe the 5 million fine is for all those who are affected by the WI-FI assist scandal, but it isn’t accurate, because the court or lawyers do not know all those affected nor can compensiate all of them.

Not all those who have been affected have sued Apple. And not all of them even live in the U.S!

well 5 million is a broad term they most likely will settle for for lower amount like always and 5 million is fines and fee’s for tons of customers and after everyone gets their cut, the consumer will get like $5 a pop = nothing near what they was charged

well in this case, they are right. In the instructions they tell people to move the band 2-3 inch above their wrist and make sure it’s tight when exercising

a fitbit is there to give you a idea of what your heart rate, it’s not a medical device that is glued to your chest like a doctor would do if you was doing a stress test. If you are moving around it’s obviously going bounce around on your wrist.

Anyone expecting on the dot results when you jumping around is a idiot

We understand that FitBit isn’t for typical medical use.

But if it’s caught showing inaccurate info, then there’s need of investigation, in order to find out if it’s a scam devices, built just to decievd people into buying it.

Just like how NVIDIA was investigated and caught in their false advitisement of the 4GB GDDR5 of their GTX970 GPU.

When in reality, it was 3.5GB of GDDR5 memory, and another 0.5GB of memory of the much slower DDR2 type, and that caused a compromise in the algorithm-decoding work of the GPU.

Hence caused games to stutter and run like crap.

But I’m delighted to see FitBit found not guilty and their fitness gadgets working as it should!

my Charge HR will occasionally jump up to a crazy number of a minute or two…. but it 99% of the time its as accurate as the HR monitrs on treadmills and the doctors finger monitor thing.

The Charge HR is a great device. Too bad mine died after 6-7 months due to me wearing it in the shower all the time (yes i only have myself to blame.)
I hope the next version will be water proof.
