comment
" ...  The computer Fitbit Connect app doesn't work with this device. ... Initially the device installed successfully, but I was prompted immediately to update the firmware, so I attempted do do so, following the on-screen (mobile app) instructions. ... The app indicated the firmware update could take as long as 30 minutes. ... restart it and attempt to reinstall (does nothing, the device returns the stuck progress bar) ... Nothing works, the progress bar remains stuck, the mobile app continually reads "searching" for the device, all to no avail.  ...  "
