Just turned my FitBit Versa 2 on and its saying I'm 5'9" and I can't change it, I'm actually 6'1". It is also saying I've burned over a thousand calories. I haven't even worn the thing yet. I bought the digital scale to go with it. 

 

Did I just get robbed of like 500 dollars? lol

@fitspit  Welcome to the Forums... and with support from the Forum you should enjoy and get benefit from your purchase..

 

Fitbit also users your BMR and that will always show, and all activity is added to that..  Your BMR can be calculated with this link which uses the same equations that Fitbit use.

 

Just edit your settings with this link
