Using Fitbit in Central America

[SunsetRunner]

I am ready to get moving as soon as my new Versa 3 arrives.  I am a little concerned now after doing a lot more reading.  Will I be able to get all my info on my Fitbit here in Guatemala?  It is not on "the list".  Am I able to just set it for the United States and choose the correct time zone and see if everything works?  Is there anyone else out there that is currently using the Fitbit successfully in the Central American countries?  What has been your experience?  Thanks in advance for your help.

I received my Fitbit Versa last night.  To answer. my own question, I am able to use my Fitbit Versa 3 successfully here in Guatemala.  The one thing I don't have access to is the SpO2 feature.  It says it is not available in my region.  I have not idea how they determine that and when it might come this way.  But my GPS is pretty darn accurate and I love all the stats I get on the app and the ability to post my food and water.

Likely when the government says that type of medical device can be sold in the manner Fitbit is trying to include it.

Seems goofy but I've seen similar. Obviously the function in itself would work anywhere.

I don't think it has anything to do with your geographical location. I wore
my Ionic in Chile a couple of years ago and the SpO2 feature worked just
fine even in remote areas like the Atacama desert and in Patagonia. I
realize you are in Central not South America. I will tell you I had to
tighten the wrist band slightly to get it to work even in the US.

Thanks,

Cindy

@cinzianelson I agree it should work as all other functions work here.  But when I try to activate that function it says not available in my region.  I may play with it a bit and see if there is a way to work around this.

@Heybales I agree completely, the function itself should work anywhere.
