Don't pay any attention to any negative reviews you read about this device or the company. I researched trackers for two years before parting with my hard-earned money for this one. And I made the BEST choice!! It works flawlessly, it's extremely accurate and is very simple to use. There are a few tiny processes that may throw you for a loop at first, but the company is right there to assist you! They got back to me quickly with intelligent answers and suggestions. Always courteous and helpful.
The issue of the round tracker popping out of the band is true. I guess it was a poor design from the beginning. However, Misfit has addressed that. If you buy a tracker from a retail source like I did, it may not come with the new free device safety holder for the back of the band. Don't worry! Contact the company and they will send you the new holder free of charge and no shipping charges! They will also send a little helper for changing the watch battery when it's time to do that. And there's another plus! It runs on a watch battery. I have plenty of juice left on mine after 2 months. My brother is already complaining about having to charge his Fitbit so often.
I don't know what time zone Misfit is in, but the answers to my questions sometimes took 12-18 hours to reach me but they consistently did. I don't know where some people's negative experiences come from with this product unless it is their own impatience. If you have a problem, ask the company. They will answer and help you out. And there are a few tricky Bluetooth things they can help you with. Once you know about those, you can set it and forget it. It works like it's supposed to. I do not work for Misfit. But from what I've seen, I might like to.
