To ask for a refund

I bought a smart watch from FitBit 16/10/22 it became faulty within the first month, so I contacted them and they offered a replacement, which I accepted.
Today the replacement watch has suffered from the same fault, it won’t sync and it’s stuck on the wrong time and I can’t change it. So basically it’s unfit for purpose as I can’t even use it as a basic watch, the time is out by over 6 hours.
I contacted them again this morning and said I would like a refund. They are refusing, and saying the warranty states they only offer replacements.
I have checked consumer advice and under the consumer rights act 2015 it states that you can refuse a second replacement if the first replacement becomes faulty. Fitbit are refusing to budge.
So AIBU to ask for a refund, and if I’m not any suggestions on how I can go about getting this?
The watch cost £199 and is less than 6 months old.
I tried phoning citizens advice but was on hold for 50 mins and then it cut me off.

Agree they are dire.

We use Xiaomi bands now. They are cheap as chips and have more functionality.

iwould contact someone like Moneysavingexpert to see if they can help but you are 100% in the right

Did you pay with a credit? May be a chance to get your cash back.
