Questions and answers
fitbit time not reading same time as watch
The Fitbit Zip may not show the same time as your watch because it needs to sync with your Fitbit account. Syncing transfers data and updates the time based on the time zone set in the Fitbit app. If syncing hasn’t occurred recently, the time may be incorrect. Make sure Bluetooth is on, your phone is connected to the internet, and the Fitbit app is up to date. Try syncing manually through the app to update the time.
