Switching between Fitbit devices on the same account is a straightforward process involving removing your old device and adding your new one within the Fitbit app.
Step-by-Step Guide to Switching Your Fitbit
If you are upgrading to a new Fitbit or simply want to use a different one with your existing account, you do not need to create a new account. The key is to manage your devices within your current Fitbit profile.
Here's the exact process:
- Log into Fitbit: Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone or tablet and log into your existing Fitbit account.
- Remove the Old Device: If you have an existing Fitbit device connected to your account, you must first remove the old device from your account within the app settings.
- Add the New Device: After removing the old device, you will then add your NEW Fitbit activity tracker to the Fitbit App.
Important: As the reference states, DO NOT create a new Fitbit account when switching devices. Always use your existing account.
Why Use the Same Account?
Using the same account ensures that your historical data, such as steps, activity logs, sleep patterns, and trends, remains consolidated in one place. This allows for continuity in tracking your fitness journey over time, regardless of the specific device you are using.
Process Overview
Here's a quick look at the necessary actions when switching:
| Action | Status |
|---|---|
| Log in to existing account | Required |
| Remove old device | Required if an old device is present |
| Add new device | Required |
| Create a new account | DO NOT do this |
By following these steps, you can seamlessly transition to using your new Fitbit device while keeping all your valuable fitness data associated with your single account.
