Hi All, I have an Inspire 2. I also have an Apple watch. I also am doing Weight watchers. I decided to only wear my fitbit during my am workouts and my Apple watch the rest of the day. I have synced the Fitbit to my WW which is working great along with my Withings scale.When I included the Apple watch health app, I also needed to download Both Sync app (blue app and red app) to the fitbit and Apple watch... The red Sync app is to sync the fitbit to the apple heath and the blue sync app is to sync the apple health to the fitbit. I thought it was working well until I went on my weight watchers app and it show about 15 "60 minute walks) all in one day... I was like, what the heck... Not sure if anyone has used these Sync Solver apps. but if someone could get back to me if they have and let me know if am doing somthing wrong? The red app all is defaulted checked off and the blue app just the steps are checked off. I am hoping I made sense here. Thanks.

App Notifications? I have the Inspire 2 and just bought the Sense. This will be the first day of wearing the Inspire 2 to work out and then the Sense for the day. I will see how it goes, if its a pain, i will return the Sense..... I did try switching back and forth and even though its crazy silly that I cant have two devices on one account, I will give it a go and see if its a pain in the butt. I workout in the am, so basically, my Inspire 2 will be tracking my morning and then when I am ready for the day, I will wear the Sense... I dont wear either to bed. I wonder if Fitbit will have an update at some point so that their users can add and keep devices on their accounts at the same time.. just seems silly to me, from a business point of view... you would want the consumer to buy their product.... why buy more than one if you can simultaneously have them in one account..... no sense at all.. Thanks for your reponse.

So I found this on the web: yes, its from 2015.. but still... Starting today, you can now keep multiple trackers paired to your account, and they all will continue to sync. Wear your Surge on a hike, take the Charge HR to work, use the One when you have to dress up – the choice is yours. For Android and iOS, the app uses programming to determine which is the active tracker.Mar 25, 2015

Another question,,, then why does the app offer you to add more than one devise? Seems kind of silly that it prevents someone from having more than one fitbit devise. Thanks.

Hi, I am new to this community. I have a Inspire 2 and it is linked to my Weight Watchers app and does a great job of tracking and transferring the information to my WW app. However, I was wondering, I would also like to purchase a Sense as well for when I am not working out. I spoke to CS and they told me that I cant have more than one Fitbit tracker on one account. Has anyone found a "work around" for this? The CS said that if I wear one, the other one will not sync and wont know what the other has done.. if that makes sense. Thanks

You are correct. However, my left arm does not swing when I walk with them. Its strange.... I do believe that that may be the issue. I may have to wear the Blaze on my right hand when I walk, which would be a pain in the butt.

I just tried that for a second and it did record when I looked at "activities".. so this may be the solutions provided I remember to do that before leaving the house. S

Thats a great idea... will the Blaze still track my activity as "walk" and also the calories? Thats really what I want to see... the HR is pretty spot on with that. Thanks so much for responding. s

HI and thanks so much for responding to my post. I really appreciate it! I did do what you wrote, and when I went for a walk yesterday, it did not pick it up. I did hear from a Fitbit moderator who told me that my arm would have to be moving for it to track... so in other words, I would have to wear it on my right wrist (the one that does not hold the dog leashes) so that it would swing and pick it up.... Kind of crazy, but I am guessing I will just wear my HR when I walk them to make it easier. S

So I got the Blaze and have had it for almost a week. I switch off between my HR and the Blaze. Today I decided to do a test. I wore the Blaze all day, on my left wrist, which is my "watch wrist". It tracked my steps just fine. I decided to keep it on when I took my dogs for a walk. Usually, I will wear my HD and that will be on my right wrist. (yes I do take one off and do not wear both at the same time) So the leashes and dogs are on my left side where I am holding the leashes. My right hand is free. Well, got back from 1/2 hour walk, and the Blaze did not track my walk. This is very concerning to me. Is it because the Blaze is not on my "swinging arm"? I had to mannually enter my walk in. I also did the eliptical with the Blaze on, before my walk, and it did track it just fine. Any suggestions would be great!

Hi and thanks for replying. I manually put in Pilates.. however the one time I wore the Blaze and took a long walk, it did not track. I never wear both my HD and Blaze at the same time...However, I wear the Blaze on my dominant hand... which I thought may be the issue. I switched it on line to the non-dominant, but still wear it on my watch wrist. My hd i wear on my other wrist.

Wait, let me understand this. My HR is set to my non dominant because I wear it on my right wrist. My Blaze is set to my dominant because i use it as a watch on my left wrist. (not together, I switch off) My HR tracks all automatically, while today being my first day of wearing it all day, did not auto track my walk with my dogs (HR is to the tee). I had to manually enter it, which I was not happy about. So you are saying that even though I wear the Blaze on the dominant hand, for it to auto track more easily, it should be set to non dominant? If so, that has solved my problem. Please get back to me. Thanks so much!!

Same with me. I walk my dogs daily for about 30 minutes. My HR auto tracks it as a "walk", shows steps, duration and calories burned. Today, while wearing my Blaze, I walked my dogs a similar route and it did not auto track it. I had to manually put it in, and guess how many calories based on the passed auto tracked times a few days ago. I do wear the Blaze on my left wrist (dominant) and that hand holds the leashes where the HR is worn on my right wrist, the wrist that is free and moves.. so maybe that is the issue... is it?

I have an HR and just bought a Blaze to switch on and off with. I wear the HR on my non-dominant wrist and the Blaze on my "watch wearing wrist. when switching from on to the other (not together) The HR is seamless when auto tracking my walking, eliptical or any fast movement lasting 10 mins or more. I wore the Blaze today for the first time... and although it did track my steps and heart rate, it did not pick up my 1.5 mile walk with my dogs (the HR picks it right up and logs it for me). Am I doing something wrong? Anyone experiencing the same issues? Thanks.
