Oh, and worse, I told fitbit all of this, and CC'd their founder... their response was largely: We can replace the units, but the design decisions are done and there will be no changes to the product.
So they won't ever issue new firmware for the scales to offer a calibration mode pre-weigh-in (which is what most electronic scales do), and they aren't considering a re-design of the fitbit casing.
Basically: What's the point of having a flawed product replaced with a flawed product?
I gave away my fitbit scales and fitbits, they were of absolutely zero value to me considering they were literally worse than useless.
I'd avoid them like the plague, there are better alternatives.
