FitBit Flex is made as a "one time use/throw away" device. Perhaps the 25% off is a way of getting repeat buyers as the batteries fade? The device is not made to be opened and the only way of "repair" is a way that is seldom successful. The device has to be opened with a saw!

Fitbit is the leading global wearable brand with over $1.6 Billion in sales during 2017, but the company suffers from one fundamental problem. The devices break, and they break often. Everything breaks — cars break, refrigerators break, even world records get broken.
No Fitbit devices are fully waterproof, but most are water-resistant to a certain extent. The Fitbit devices that are water-resistant include the Fitbit Ace 2, the Fitbit Versa, the Fitbit Charge 3, Fitbit Inspire, and Fitbit Ionic.
On the other hand, in regards to the All-Day Sync, turn it off:
- From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap or click the Account icon > your device image.
- Find the option to turn off All-Day Sync.
Plug your Fitbit One tracker into the charging cable, making sure that the gold contacts on your tracker align with the gold contacts in the inside of the charger. Hold down your tracker's button for 10-12 seconds. Remove your tracker from the charging cable and press its button until the screen turns on.
Potential solutions:
- Make sure the Fitbit app is installed on your Android phone.
- Ensure the Always Connected option in the Fitbit app is on.
- Ensure the All-Day Sync option in the Fitbit app is on.
- Try removing and re-adding your Fitbit device from your Fitbit account.

So despite its fitness benefits, the primary problem with wearing a FitBit is that by doing so, you are exposing yourself to radiation on a daily basis. Albeit, it's very low-level Bluetooth radiation, but any type of artificial tech-related radiation is unhealthy for human exposure.
