- Tap the today icon or your profile icon, depending on your app version.
- Scroll down to find your connected device. The model name should be listed below its image.
Looking at the Device Itself
Another simple way to identify your Fitbit is by checking the device itself. Here's how to do it:
- Turn on your Fitbit device if it's not already on.
- Check the back of the device for a model number or name engraved or printed on it. Some devices may have the model name on the front or side.
- Refer to the list above to find your Fitbit model based on the number or name you found.
Identifying Your Fitbit by Features
If you can't find your Fitbit model number or name, don't worry. You can still identify it by its features. Let's go through some popular features to help you determine which Fitbit you own.
Before proceeding, make sure your Fitbit device is synced with the Fitbit app or web dashboard, and your account is up-to-date.
GPS Tracking
Certain Fitbit devices come with built-in GPS or provide connected GPS through your smartphone. Here's how to check if your device has GPS:
- While using the Fitbit app, go to the 'Today' or 'Exercise' tab.
- Tap on the 'GPS' icon (a satellite symbol) to start a GPS-enabled activity. If your device has GPS, you should be able to proceed. If not, you'll see a message indicating that GPS is not available.
Here are some Fitbit devices with built-in GPS: Charge 4, Ionic, Versa 3, and Fitbit Sense.
Advanced Heart Rate Features
Some Fitbit devices offer advanced heart rate features like stress management, blood oxygen levels, or even ECG apps. Here's how to check for these features:
- Open the Fitbit app and tap on your profile icon or the 'Discover' tab.
- Scroll through the suggested apps and features to see if any of the following are listed: Stress Management Score, Blood Oxygen (since the Sense and Versa 3 have this feature), or ECG (found on the Sense only).
These advanced heart rate features are available on the Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Charge 5, and, to some extent, the Versa 3. However, always double-check the Fitbit website or user manual for the most accurate information, as features may vary by model and software updates.
Now that you've successfully identified your Fitbit device, you can make the most of its features and start tracking your health and fitness goals more effectively. Happy tracking, and here's to smarter, healthier living!
