In this article, we will show you different ways to determine the Fitbit model you have and how to identify specific Fitbit models.
Different Ways to Determine the Fitbit Model You Have
There are several methods you can use to find out what Fitbit device you have. Here are some of the most common ones:
1. Use the Fitbit App
The easiest way to determine your Fitbit model is to use the Fitbit app on your smartphone or tablet. To do this, open the app and tap on the Today tab at the bottom. Then, tap on your profile picture at the top left corner. You should see your device name and image under Devices. You can also tap on the device to see more details, such as battery level, firmware version, and sync status.
2. Check the Device Settings
Another way to find out your Fitbit model is to check the device settings. To do this, press and hold the button on your device (if it has one) or swipe left from the clock face (if it has a touchscreen) until you see a gear icon. Tap on it and scroll down until you see About. Tap on it and you should see your device name, serial number, firmware version, and other information.
3. Look at the box or purchase history
If you still have the original box or receipt of your Fitbit device, you can look at them to see what model you have. The box should have a label with the device name and image on it. The receipt should also have the device name and price on it. Alternatively, you can check your online purchase history if you bought your Fitbit device from an online retailer or the Fitbit website.
4. Use Google Fast Pair (only for Android)
If you have an Android phone that supports Google Fast Pair, you can use it to identify your Fitbit model. To do this, make sure your phone has Bluetooth enabled and is near your Fitbit device. Then, open the Settings app on your phone and tap on Connected devices. You should see a list of devices that are paired with your phone or nearby. Look for your Fitbit device and tap on it. You should see a pop-up window with the device name and image on it.
5. Check the backside of the Fitbit
The last resort to determine your Fitbit model is to check the backside of the device. Some Fitbit models have their names engraved on the backside, such as Inspire, Charge, Versa, Ionic, Luxe, and Sense. Others have a four-digit code that you can use to identify them using this [Fitbit help page].
