LOW-BATTERY NOTIFICATION. Gone are the days of worrying about battery life—now you can know how much juice your Flex 2 has left just by looking at your wrist.

  • I love my Fitbit flex 2 however I have notice my sleep tracker is off. My display shows the proper time I fell asleep but the calculation of the hours is way off!! How do I fix this?

  • Last year at this time I was almost disabled. For six years I had been taking a Statin drug and could never figure out why I was in such pain. After being on five years of serious pain medication and many many doctors appointments and physio, massage, chiropractic appointments I finally saw a natural path and got off the Statin drugs in August. At the beginning of December I purchased my fit bit and have now increased my daily step count from 3000 to 4000 to 5000 and now 6000. It just might go up to 7000 in January. I am so pleased with my progress and so is my doctor. Considering last year at this time I could barely walk I am very proud of myself. And I look forward to some time next year getting to 10,000 steps a day. I have always been active On the last 5 to 6 years have been very difficult. I am having a great deal of fun looking at my progress on my fit bit every day. Thank you

  • I was drawn to join this conversation after reading the several references mentioning cycling I saw the photo and short bio of Fitbit news editor Danielle Kosecki after which I just assumed the discussion would at least in some way relate to how a fitbit user could track their cycling efforts. I don’t see anything that even comes close.
    I am a new fitbit user and maybe I simply haven’t found that information while it was right in front of me. Either way, is it possible for you to guide me to somewhere on the fitbit site or simply respond to this comment with that information?
    Thank you in advance,
    Leslie

  • My fit bit is grate however I noticed that the alarm could be better it is just a simple vibration that could use a little work it is handy but it just doesn’t seem to wake me up

  • After resetting my Fitbit after 90 days it is constantly needing reset to track steps I was wondering if anyone was having problem.
