Stryd Next Gen
I purchased a Stryd Next Gen which suffered a complete hardware failure within the first 6 months. The device no longer broadcasts any Bluetooth signal and cannot be detected or paired with any watch or phone.
I have spent over one month following all troubleshooting steps requested by Stryd support: multiple devices (Garmin and COROS), different phones, full resets, official app pairing, and independent BLE scans (LightBlue). The device simply does not emit BLE.
Despite this being a clear hardware failure within warranty, Stryd has not offered a replacement or refund. Instead, they keep insisting on video calls and repeated demonstrations, which do not change the fact that a device that does not broadcast Bluetooth cannot be paired by definition.
As an EU consumer, this experience is unacceptable. EU law is clear: failures within the first 6 months are presumed manufacturing defects and must be resolved efficiently.
At the time of writing, the issue remains unresolved. Very disappointed with how warranty cases are handled.
