I sure hope it gets found for you!

If you know approximately where you lost it and you had it synced to a phone you may be able to find it. Got to the area where you suspect you lost it and try to sync on your phone. If it syncs you are within about 40 paces. The next step is to triangulate the location. Walk in any direction from where it first synced until it no longer syncs. Then turn and walk back in the direction you came. Count your steps as you go.  It should  sync again. Keep walking till it no longer syncs and stop counting. Now then turn and walk back half of the total steps. Then choose another direction left or right. Count your steps at you walk until it doesn’t sync any more. If you counted more than half of the original steps your fit bit is on this side of the original line. If you counted less than half it is on the other side. You should narrow the search area dramatically. I know this works cause I figured it out when searching for my lost one on a jogging path. But for me it was exactly halfway between the ends. Hope this helps.

@jeansbarncat Welcome to the Fitbit family! Thanks for taking the time to share the unfortunate situation you have experience with your One being lost. I hope it gets found!

Just to add to what @Kesty69 was suggesting on his post above, there are some Bluetooth finder apps you can download to your phone that will help you locate any Bluetooth devices nearby. If you know more or less the location in which it got lost, you may be able to find it. Check this article to learn more about the apps you can download to do this.

@WendyB Thanks for your great help on this thread!

Keep me posted!

Thank you for your input-- unfortunately, no recollection of where it was lost! 😞

@jeansbarncat Thanks for your reply and for providing those details.

That's unfortunate to read. 

In this case, I'd recommend checking the Fitbit Store available products. Maybe you will find something of your interest there that you can consider to get in the future.

Hope to see you back on track soon!
