I lost my old Fitbit One while going through Heathrow airport last month (got left in a tray when going through the xray machine) and Heathrow's lost and found office say they don't have it. So I'm on the hunt for a new one. Apparently they're not made any more and the couple of new ones on Amazon are going for $290+ (I think I paid about $150 for it new) so my best bet it to find a secondhand one. I don't like the wrist watch models.

 

TradeMe don't have any listed. Does anyone have any suggestions on other places I could look?

I have one that I'd be willing to part with. Catch is I only have a general idea of where it is.

I'm not in any hurry. Do you have an idea for how much you'd want for it?

Surely, there's a new version available... a quick check on the Fitbit website has this https://www.fitbit.com/nz/inspire then look for mention of 'clips'

I found the Fitbit One, charging cable, wireless dongle, wrist strap and belt clip.

 

The dongle was detected by Windows and the Fitbit appears to be charging.

 

People seem to be paying crazy amounts of money for these things, $~120 bids on a pre-owned unit.

 

How about half that? $60 including postage.

 

I am unable to provide any assistance with getting it working, but I'm sure you know how to do all that.

Hmm, I didn't know that some of the watch models could detach and be used with a clip. I guess that would be an option if I couldn't find a second-hand One. Thanks for the info!
