Smartwatches are great, especially when it comes to keeping track of your health. These days connected timepieces let you know when your heart rate is too fast or too fast, can tell you if your blood is not supplying enough oxygen throughout the body, and can track your heart rhythm to make sure you are not doing so. There is a condition called AFib (atrial fibrillation). About 2.7 million Americans with ABB have “heart attack (arrhythmia), which causes blood clots, heart attack, strokes, and other heart-related problems.”
Fitbit, which still penetrates all my dot dunes to complete the acquisition of Google Parent Alphabet’s $ 1.1 billion, is replacing its Sense smartwatch due to a problem with one of the health-related features. Tool. Late last month, a post in the Fitbit Product Support Forum copied the text of an email sent by Fitbit to owners. It reads:
“It’s Fitbit Bit Customer Support. Thank you for purchasing Fitbit Sense.
We have identified a hardware problem that affects the ability of your device to function properly. Give us back the device. We will give you a prepaid return label.
To ensure the best Fitbit experience possible, we offer you an alternative. Keep all original accessories such as your charging cable and band. You will only receive a replacement device.
After we receive your shipping details, you will receive an email with the next steps for your reinstallation, and then we will expedite the new Fitbit concept for you. “
According to The Verge, Fitbit acknowledges that the number of affected units worldwide is less than 900 and that it is related to the watch’s electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, which detects abnormal heart rhythms. This feature was not included in Sense when it was first launched and will be added in the next software update. The problem with ECG technology is that the watch can display “uncertain” readings incorrectly.
Fitbit Sense has been in the news more recently than the ECG crash. See Additional Support for Google Assistant.
