Fitbit devices use an accelerometer to measure your movements. The accelerometer takes the movement data and translates it into digital measurements, which it how Fitbits count your steps, and measure the distance you've traveled, calories burned, and sleep quality.

You wear it on your wrist after you charge it up via the usb charger.

You download fitbit app on your phone and then add fit bit to phone .

I am not sure how it works I am guessing it has a motion detector in it and each step causes a vibration it detects.
It must have some sort of a pulse sensor as it also knows when you are a sleep .
you need to set up an account using an email address with fitbit via the app.
there is also a windows app but you need the fit bit dongle that comes in the box it came with plugged into the usb port of p.c.
even thoug pc has bluetooth it does not seem to work with the p.c application unless the dongle is used with it.

I just received a Fitbit Inspire - Do I have to have a Cell phone to use it? Is there a manual to use it?

No, you do not necessarily need a cell phone to use a Fitbit Inspire. While syncing the Fitbit with a smartphone can enhance its functionality by allowing you to receive notifications and track your data more comprehensively, you can still use the Fitbit Inspire without a smartphone.
To set up and use your Fitbit Inspire, you can follow these general steps:
  1. Charge your Fitbit: Plug your charging cable into a USB port or wall adapter and connect it to the charging port on the back of your Fitbit Inspire. Charge it fully before you start using it.
  2. Create a Fitbit account: If you don't have one, you will need to create a Fitbit account. You can do this on the Fitbit website or through the Fitbit app on a smartphone or tablet.
  3. Set up your Fitbit: Follow the on-screen instructions on your Fitbit device or the Fitbit app to set up your device. This typically involves connecting your Fitbit to your Fitbit account.
  4. Wear your Fitbit: Put on your Fitbit Inspire and start tracking your activity, sleep, and other metrics.
  5. Sync with your phone or computer (optional): If you have a smartphone or a computer with Bluetooth capabilities, you can sync your Fitbit data with the Fitbit app or Fitbit website to see your stats, set goals, and track your progress more comprehensively.

My fitbit has stopped working a couple of weeks ago. The face has pulled out of the band and there is a crack in the face. This is not a year old yet!

Hello, Shirley -

I hope you have kept the sales receipt for your Fitbit. It seems Fitbits have a 1 year warranty, but you may need proof of the date you purchased it if they cannot determine the date you activated your Fitbit.

Contact Fitbit Help directly and find out what can be done.

Best wishes.
