In addition, class members with proof of purchase who claimed the watch was damaged by water and were denied a repair or replacement may receive a refund of their purchase price.
August 2013: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Motorola claiming that the company falsely advertised its MOTOACTV “GPS sports watch,” a fitness performance tracker and music player device.
