Why is it so complicated to set up a simple fitness watch for my son?
All i want is for my son to be able to track his steps. 
why does he need his own email address , why does he need his own phone. He is only 9 - i just want to set the rime and stride length. 
Fitbit please please stop all the complexity of fitbit/google/family profiles-

cant even post a question- what is a label- why do I need one?

Hi @Trial123   I completely agree with you.  Users like to blame Google for every issue since Google bought Fitbit, even if Google didn't do it.  This issue is the direct result of Google buying Fitbit and requiring Google accounts.

Labels help keep the forum organized.
