Thank you for this. Mine was a Fitbit HR, and what has happened is that the glue that holds the little metal clip on the back that the charging cable connects to has given up, so I can't charge it. I held it together with gaffer tape for a bit, until my skin declared that gaffer is not acceptable. I'm trying to motivate myself to either find a better repair method, or sort out a replacement (it being decidedly out of warranty).

Reading your notes, what stands out for me is the watch aspect -- that is one of the good bits. I liked the heart rate monitoring on the HR, because it tells me the difference between 'breathless because working hard' and 'breathless with no good reason, try ventolin'.

Urgh. Back in the too hard basket for the next week or two...
