Watch-syncing issues with steps and my trusty Fitbit One

I bought a Pebble Time Round watch last year in May. I love the watch. It's functional and pretty.

Unfortunately, the app that I use to sync my steps from this watch is flaky. I suspect that the app isn't supported anymore because Fitbit bought Pebble.

It's funny that I had to go back to my trusty Fitbit One device to be able to track my steps accurately. I'm glad that I can.

Of course, many phones track your steps. The problem is that I do not carry my phone wherever I go, so it is of little use to me.

I love my watch, though. I now have both my Fitbit One and my Pebble Time Round on the same wrist. I don't like the clip that comes with the Fitbit One. I have broken quite a number of them that I prefer having a bracelet band instead.

Ah, the joys of technology both failing and being sturdy.

  1. I have given up tracking my steps...have had several different pedometers, including Fitbit, and none are accurate for my steps. Don't quite know what the problem is but...oh well. Hope you are able to find some way to sync sooner or later. :)

    1. My Fitbit One has always been reliable. It just looks a bit bulky on my wrist. I may purchase another Fitbit that is actually meant to be worn on my wrist, but it's not pressing.

      So, syncing my Fitbit One to my fitness app works fine. It's just a shame that I can't do it with my smartwatch. Technology is so much fun!
