To get the app, click the Start button and open the Windows® Store (called Store).
Search for “Fitbit app.” Note that if you’ve never downloaded an app from the store
to your computer, you’ll be prompted to create an account.
Open the app and follow the instructions to create a Fitbit account and set up your
Blaze. You can set up and sync wirelessly if your computer has Bluetooth, otherwise
you’ll need to plug your tracker into your computer directly via the charging cable.
Plugging in the tracker may be faster if you have Bluetooth but the signal is weak or
problematic.
Setting up your tracker on your PC (Windows 8.1
and below)
If you don’t have a compatible mobile device, you can set up your tracker with a
computer and see your Fitbit stats on fitbit.com. To use this setup method you’ll first
install a free software application called Fitbit Connect that lets Blaze sync its data
with your fitbit.com dashboard.
Note: Unless you upgrade to Windows 10, you’ll need to purchase a wireless sync
dongle from fitbit.com/store in order to set up your tracker.
To install Fitbit Connect and set up your tracker:
1. Install the wireless sync dongle.
2. Go to http://www.fitbit.com/setup.
3. Scroll down and click the option to download. If the button does not correctly
show your type of computer (for example, if it says “Download for Mac”),
choose the correct type first.
4. When prompted, save the file that appears (FitbitConnect_Win.exe).
5. Find and double click the file to open the installer program.
6. Click Continue to move through the installer’s instructions.
7. When prompted, choose Set up a New Fitbit Device.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a Fitbit account and connect your
Blaze.
Note that the personal information you’re asked for during account setup is
used to calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR), which helps determine your
estimated calorie expenditure. This information is private unless you go into
your Privacy settings and opt to share age, height, or weight with Fitbit
friends.
