Setting the Fitbit watch made easy

For Fitbit's trackers, the time on the tracker always matches that of the smartphone the watch is paired with. With Fitbit's smartwatches, you can set the time yourself in the watch's settings by selecting the time zone and dial.

Setting the clock on a Fitbit device

There are differences in the settings of Fitbit devices between trackers and smartwatches. For trackers from Fitbit, all settings are done through the Fitbit app. To do this, you need to pair your tracker with a smartphone. From this smartphone, the tracker also takes over the time. To change the time on the tracker, you need to adjust the time on your smartphone and then sync the tracker in the Fitbit app to transfer the new settings.

Setting the time on a smartwatch from Fitbit

On smartwatches from Fitbit, the time is set in the settings on the watch itself. However, you can only select the time zone, not change the time directly.

1. Open the settings.
2. Go to "Personal Data".
3. Now go to "Advanced Settings" and find the menu "Time Zone".
4. Select the desired zone.

Under "Dial" you can decide in the settings of your smartwatch whether you want a digital or an analog display. Depending on the model, there are also still different designs to choose from, and you can customize the color of the display and the hands.
