How to change the time on a Fitbit

If your Fitbit is showing the wrong time it could mean it’s not synced properly to an associating device.

The Fitbit website states: “The time on your Fitbit device may be wrong after you travel to a different time zone or when clocks change for Daylight Savings.”

You can fix this via an associated iPhone or Android app.

Open the app and click Today and then your profile picture.

Then, click App Settings and Time Zone.

Here you can turn automatic time zone detection off and select the correct time zone.

Then, sync your Fitbit device.

You can also log into the fitbit.com website and click the gear icon and then Settings and Personal Info.

Then go to Advanced Settings and select the relevant timezone.

Finally, click Submit.

Set your desired time, click the back button and choose the days you want the alarm to go off.

Then, click the back button again and you should see that your alarm is set.

Other types of Fitbits require you to set an alarm via the smartphone app.

Open the app and click the Today button.

The click your avatar and select the relevant device from the Account page.

Click “Silent Alarms” and then “Set a New Alarm”.

Choose the time you want the alarm to go off and if you want you can click “Repeat” and set it for more days in the future.

Then, click “Save”.

Your FitBit will then need to sync with the app.
