Hello & welcome @Ludekuse & @Debwuh 

Your Fitbit is supposed to use the time from your paired phone/tablet.

To check this:

  • Tap on your picture/icon in the upper left of the Today page in the Fitbit app to open the Account page
  • Tap App Settings under Settings (bottom portion of the page)
  • Automatic time zone & Automatic location should be selected. If not, tap on these to turn it on. 
  • Tap on the arrows in the upper left to return to the Today page
  • Pull down from the top slightly to sync the app & your device

If this doesn't fix the time on your device, follow the above instructions and

  • Turn off Automatic time zone & Automatic location.
  • Select a different time zone, then do a sync.
  • Return to App Settings to turn Automatic time zone & Automatic location back on, then do another sync. 

This usually corrects the time on the Fitbit. If not, please come back and let us know.
