I've had problems with 2 of the 4 Fitbit devices me and my wife have owned. Her Flex was intermittently powering off. I contacted support and they sent a new one within days. My current Charge HR (bought in October) band started bubbling and pulling apart. I contacted support last week and a replacement device should arrive tomorrow.

I think they required receipt information for the Flex (that was a few years ago). For the Charge HR, they just asked me where I bought it and what country I live in, then offered a replacement.

Fitbit devices haven't shown good durability, in my experience, but the company has proven very willing to replace defective devices.
