This is the reason it doesn't feature the heart-rate monitor found in those other Fitbit trackers. It beats them all at swimming, however. When you get calls and texts Flex 2 vibrates and the LED display flashes its colour-coded lights discreetly.
Plug your Fitbit One tracker into the charging cable, making sure that the gold contacts on your tracker align with the gold contacts in the inside of the charger. Hold down your tracker's button for 10-12 seconds. Remove your tracker from the charging cable and press its button until the screen turns on.
When Flex 2 is charging, each light represents a 25% progress towards a complete charge. When Flex 2 is fully charged, a green light will flash and all five lights will shine for a few seconds before turning off.
The Fitbit Flex allows you to track your sleep efficiently by calculating how long you actually slept by tracing your movements in your sleep — the less you move, the better your sleep. Your Fitbit Flex will then vibrate and two lights will turn on to show that you successfully turned on sleep mode.
Note: If you have an Android phone, you can set your Fitbit device to always send you notifications:
- Tap the Today tab > your profile picture > Notifications.
- In the Vibration Settings section, turn on the Always Vibrate option.
Today, Fitbit also killed off four wearables: the Alta (released February 2016), Alta HR (released March 2017), Flex 2 (released October 2016), and Zip (released September 2012).
How to restart your Fitbit Flex
- Plug your charging cable into your computer.
- Plug your Flex into the charging cable.
- Insert a paperclip into the small pinhole on the back of the charger.
- Hold down the paperclip for 3-5 seconds.
- Unplug the Flex form the charging cable.
The tracking accuracy, much like other Fitbit bands, vary. It's pretty much 95% spot on for steps, as the device is smart enough to differentiate between an actual step and just standing still and shuffling your feet.
Connect the Fitbit to a wall-charger instead of your computer. The Fitbit doesn't come with one, but you can plug the included charging cable into any USB wall charger, like the one your phone or tablet uses.
Most Fitbits will be fully charged within two hours when connected to a standard USB outlet, though some may fully charge in an hour or less.
To factory reset your tracker:
- Attach the charging cable to your tracker and plug the other end into a USB port.
- Press and hold the button for approximately two seconds and without letting go of the button:
- Let go of the button and hold it down again.
Fitbit Flex 2 price and release date
Although Fitbit has pushed some major upgrades into the Flex 2, it originally costed around the same price as its predecessor too with a launch price of $99.95 (£79.99, AU$149.95).Best answer: The Fitbit Alta HR has a battery life of up to seven days, although your mileage may vary depending on what features you use.
For help deciding when to charge your tracker:
- Check your battery level at any time on your Fitbit dashboard.
- When one day or less of battery life remains, you'll see a battery icon on the first screen when checking your stats.
- When a critically-low warning appears, charge as soon as possible.
Hold the button to restart your tracker:
- For Charge 2, press and hold the button on your tracker for four seconds. When you see the Fitbit logo and the tracker vibrates, the tracker has restarted.

You can check battery level anytime by going to the clock face screen and swiping up. The battery level indicator should be at the upper left corner.

While it's unclear how common the problem is, some Fitbit Flex users have posted on forums and social media sites about experiencing issues with their Flex holding a charge after just a few months of use. (The Flex battery generally lasts five days between charges, according to the company.)
To set up a Fitbit Flex, start by inserting the tracker into the USB charger round-end first. If the tracker came in the wristband, remove it before inserting it into the charger. Next, plug the charger into a USB port and let it charge until all 3 lights are on.
If your Fitbit tracker isn't charging properly, you may need to switch charging cables or clean your device. Potential solutions: Make sure your Fitbit tracker and charging cable are clean. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, which could prevent the device from charging properly.
