However, issues arise if you receive a Fitbit as a gift without packaging or if the Fitbit was purchased as a used one. Then, it becomes challenging to identify which model you own and its features.
In this blog post, we will explain what a Fitbit is and outline ways you can identify the type of Fitbit you have.

Examples of such devices are smartwatches, pedometers, and monitors for measuring heart rate, quality of sleep, and stairs climbed as well as related software”.
Fitbits can provide you with complete important health data. Some can even track your menstrual cycle or identify the exercise you are performing (such as swimming, cycling, jogging, etc.) and provide tracking tailored to that activity.

Finding the model number on the watch’s side or back is the simplest way to determine what kind of Fitbit you own. It is a five-digit code that starts with the letters FB before three numbers.

Should I get a Fitbit or an Apple Watch?
If Apple watches seem too expensive for you, get a Fitbit
. Fitbits will easily outperform an Apple Watch in terms of battery life. A Fitbit spokesman touted its horn by saying, “The Apple Watch offers an 18-hour battery life, which means you need to charge it every day, whereas many Fitbit trackers and watches can last for days without charging.”
Compared to the Apple Watch, Fitbit offers more options that fit a modest budget with its longer battery life and more thorough health tracking service.
Also, Fitbit trackers are superior in helping to reduce stress. The Fitbit app provides options for meditation and other practical suggestions, while the Fitbit Sense employs an EDA sensor to measure your stress level.
What is the difference between Fitbit Smartwatches and Trackers?
Fitbit smartwatches are basically watches that come packed with a lot of smart features, including fitness tracking. Some other features of the Fitbit smartwatch are GPS, calorie burn measurement, notifications, and heart rate monitoring.
On the other hand, Fitbit fitness trackers are wearable devices whose features are mainly focused on measuring the user’s health data.
There is a lot of overlap between the two devices, but a fitness tracker will provide better in-depth monitoring of your health and physical activity all day.
Can you charge a Fitbit with a phone charger?
No, You cannot charge a Fitbit with a phone’s charger because Fitbits come with their own charging cable. Although, they do not come with socket heads that you can plug into a wall socket. So, most users plug the USB end of the Fitbit’s charging cable into a phone’s charger head or into any available USB port.
