Ask HN: Which great products didn't succeed?

I have a Fitbit charge3 and I really like it. I have only had it for 6 months, so I can’t speak to it’s reliability.

The only thing I wish it had was an alarm that would wake me up at a specific level of sleep, like rem sleep.

I tried the charge3 and the step and stairs-climbed counters both read wildly incorrectly. It also had a tendency to track steps taken when driving. They also hadn't got the pulse-ox sensor doing anything at the time I returned it.

The OS on it is quite nice, the iOS app isn't bad either, but the inaccuracy just drove me nuts.

I moved on to a Garmin vivosmart instead. Not quite as pretty, but a lot more accurate.
