The "all day sync" setting is no longer there. Fitbit say:
"To improve your experience with notifications, syncing, and firmware updates, we removed the option to turn off all-day sync from the Fitbit app. When your phone is near your Fitbit device with Bluetooth turned on, it periodically syncs with the Fitbit app to update your stats and download available firmware updates"
taken from: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1877.htm
However, it also says: "More frequent syncing rarely, if ever, noticeably decreases your device’s battery life."
This is clearly not the case with you unless the battery usage is not related to the syncing. I know this is not an ideal solution but what I do is to turn off bluetooth on my phone unless I want it to sync. Is this an option for you?
