Warranty

Manufacturer warranty (source market)iThe maker's warranty period for the exact SKU or configuration and market named in the source note. It applies only to that stated market, not every regional variant. Statutory consumer rights are excluded. The base term is stored. An extension that needs registration goes in the source note.

Exact US Abt FB523BKBK-US also states one-year limited parts/labour warranty. The original maker contract separately gives two years for an EEA resident purchasing in the EEA, including the retained Estonian market. This scalar applies only to the stated US source-market contract, not all variants. Later purchases use the separate Google Hardware Warranty Center terms.16Retailer pageabt.com/Fitbit-Versa-4-Graphite-Aluminum-Black-Strap-Fitness-Smartwatch-24mm-FB523BKBKUS/p/182318.htmlRead 7 October 2026Exact new US FB523BKBK-US listing states one-year limited parts and labour warranty.
