When you wear a Fitbit device during your workout or sleep, it stores various data such as steps, calories burned or heart rate. However, the recorded data is not saved on the device indefinitely. How long your Fitbit stores, you can find out here.

How long the Fitbit stores your data

All your activities such as walking, running or cycling, as well as your sleep patterns, are stored on the Fitbit device. However, the storage time of the devices is limited. Depending on which Fitbit device you use, your data is stored for up to seven days. If you have a Fitbit Alta, the storage period is only five days. If you synchronize your Fitbit device with the cell phone only later, it can happen that only the data of the last five or seven days are displayed to you.
