But in all seriousness, it has a heart rate monitor built into it that needs to make contact with your skin to get an accurate heart rate. That's partly why I bought the watch, and unfortunately, you can't get heart rate if there is a band in the way.
Maybe I'll just go buy another Fitbit. At least I know those don't irritate my wrist! I've had two already. I just upgraded from a Fitbit to a Garmin because Garmin has the best GPS tracking features. |
I think you should get a refund, or partial refund, for this watch that injured you. You have a photograph. It is unacceptable that a product would be designed in a way that it would do such a thing to your arm. This may also sound gross, but you might want to keep the skin on the watch band to fully prove what it did. Or, at least take some photos of the watchband that has the skin stuck to it.
Do you generally have sensitive skin? I know that I do.
