I was searching for it on the twitter, it fell off on my way into The View Hotel, did they find it? No they did not, but Fitbit support then reached out to me "hey contact our support we'll see what we can do". This sounds good, are they going to offer me a freebie, what great customer support? Instead they offered me some advice:
- Check your dashboard to see the last time your tracker synced. If it synced recently, it is within 15-20 feet of a computer with the Fitbit Connect software installed and a dongle plugged in.
- Look near your laundry. Many people who clip their tracker onto clothing find that it ends up in the dirty clothes pile.
- If you've paired your Fitbit tracker with a mobile device, you can take that device to the area where your tracker may have been lost and watch for it to sync. This may help you to pinpoint its location.
- Use a Bluetooth locator app. For iOS you can try LightBlue - Bluetooth Low Energy (http://goo.gl/bAB5ST). For Android you can try Bluetooth Finder (http://goo.gl/CLyxgf).
Thanks but it was more than 24 hours ago and obviously the battery doesn't last that long so these won't work. They did say "if not, email us back" so hopefully they can do something for me... unlikely to offer a freebie though are they?
In the meantime I'm using Misfit on my pebble, its a harder taskmaster though sure I have to walk further to get the same number of steps. I still hit the 10,000 though and hopefully will do again today. I'm on 7440 so far and about to leave work. Will have to go out for a walk again before dinner.
