Fitbit Ionic Recall - Fitbit or Amazon?

9320

My Fitbit stopped working last year due to it not actually being waterproof as advertised - I went swimming it started buzzing and overheating - took it off and never followed up. Contacted Amazon the other day to ask for a refund - surprised given time since purchase that they readily agreed - today Fitbit have announced a recall of all Ionics - so I'm wondering would I be better off returning to Amazon or Fitibit - Fitbit talking about a discount for future purchases whereas Amazon is just a straight refund.

Have heard reasonable reports of Amazon refunds I'm tempted to go with them as probably easier but missing out on a discount for future Fitbits is a potential stumbling block.

Thoughts?

If you are happy with a straight refund then def go with Amazon, I know I would

I processed the retrun with fitbit yesterday. The refund will take 3 to 6 weeks, which isn't ideal.

However, they are giving a significant discount and offer:

I purchased a new Fitbit Sense and 5 bands (RRP: €475) for €120 yesterday
