How do I create a Fitbit account and connect my device?

The latest Fitbit devices require an iPhone or Android phone. To verify that your phone is compatible with the Fitbit app, visit fitbit.com/devices.

If your phone or tablet isn’t compatible, you can set up some Fitbit devices on a Mac or Windows 8.1 computer with a program called Fitbit Connect.

Choose a section below depending on whether you prefer to set up your device with the Fitbit app or with Fitbit Connect.

If you're adding a second Fitbit device to your account or replacing an old one, skip down to How do I set up a replacement device or add a second device to my account?

Note: If you’re setting up certain Fitbit devices with an Android phone, a notification appears on your phone to begin the setup process. Tap the notification and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device. If you don’t have the Fitbit app, the notification takes you to the Google Play Store to download the app.

To set up your Fitbit device with the Fitbit app:

1. Download and install the Fitbit app from one of the following locations:
   
   • Apple devices—Apple App Store
   • Android devices—Google Play Store
   • Windows 10 devices (phones, tablets, and computers)—Microsoft Store
   Note that you need an account with the store before you can download apps.
2. Open the Fitbit app and tap Join Fitbit.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a Fitbit account and connect ('pair') your Fitbit device to your phone or tablet. Pairing makes sure your Fitbit device and phone or tablet can communicate with one another (sync their data).
   Note that to create a Fitbit account, you're prompted to enter your birthdate, height, weight, and sex to calculate your stride length and to estimate distance, basal metabolic rate, and calorie burn. For more information, see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? After you set up your account, your first name, last initial, and profile picture are visible to all other Fitbit users. You have the option to share other information, but most of the information you provide to create an account is private by default.

For Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit Sense, Fitbit Versa, Fitbit Versa 2, and Fitbit Versa 3, you're prompted to connect your watch to your Wi-Fi network. These devices use Wi-Fi to set up your watch, download playlists, download apps from the Fitbit App Gallery, and for faster firmware and Fitbit OS updates. For best results, connect your watch to your home Wi-Fi network. For more information, see How do I connect my Fitbit watch to Wi-Fi?

If you have trouble, see Why can't I set up my Fitbit device?

If you don’t have a compatible phone or tablet, you can set up and sync most Fitbit devices on your computer with Fitbit Connect. Fitbit Connect is a free software application that lets your Fitbit device sync its data with your fitbit.com dashboard.

If your computer isn’t Bluetooth-enabled, you must use a wireless sync dongle to set up and sync your Fitbit device. Most Fitbit devices don’t come with a dongle, but you can buy one from the Fitbit Store. We recommend using the Fitbit app if you can.

To install Fitbit Connect and set up your device:

1. If your computer isn’t Bluetooth-enabled, insert a wireless sync dongle into a USB port on your computer.
2. Go to fitbit.com/global/us/setup.
3. Scroll down and click the pink Download button.
4. After the download completes, double-click the downloaded file to start installation.
5. After installing, when prompted, choose Set up a New Fitbit Device.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a Fitbit account and connect your device.

Note that the personal information you provide during setup is used to calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps determine your estimated calorie expenditure and your body mass index (BMI). For more information, see How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? This information is private unless you change your privacy settings and opt to share it with your Fitbit friends.

If you have trouble, see Why can't I set up my Fitbit device?​

If you're unsure whether you own an Aria or Fitbit Aria 2, turn the scale over and remove the battery cover to see how many batteries it contains. Aria uses 4 batteries, while Aria 2 uses 3 batteries. Aria 2 also has 'Aria 2' written on the back of the scale.

What router settings do I need to set up and sync Aria?

Aria connects to your wireless home network and works with any Wi-Fi router that uses the following standards:

• 802.11b frequency setting
• WEP / WPA / WPA2 personal security
• Automatic (DHCP) IP setup (static IP configurations are not supported)

Your SSID and password should contain only alphanumeric characters (e.g. A-Z, 0-9). If you experience issues connecting to a network that uses special characters, change the name of the network to only use alphanumeric characters, and try to connect again.

Can I use a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot to set up Aria?

A mobile Wi-Fi hotspot should only be used if a wireless router is unavailable. Consider the following information when attempting to set up your scale using a hotspot:

• Connecting Aria to a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot requires that the mobile device be persistently in this mode. The device’s battery may drain quickly.
• To complete the setup process with a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, you will need a second wireless device to connect to the hotspot. For example, if you are using an iPhone as a hotspot, you will need either another mobile device or a computer to proceed through either of the set up methods explained in How do I set up Aria?
• Your hotspot needs to be configured according to the same specifications as a wireless router. For the specs, see What router settings do I need to set up and sync Aria?

How do I set up Aria?

To set up your scale using the web-based method, you'll need a Wi-Fi enabled computer, phone, or tablet. Make sure you know your Wi-Fi password and that it doesn't exceed 31 characters. For help finding your password, see How do I find my Wi-Fi network password and security setting?
