Inspire 2 won't sync with Windows 10 computer

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

As of this morning my Inspire 2 will no longer sync to my laptop. I'm getting different error messages including "bonding failed", "the tracker is busy syncing with another device", and "download or update app to set up tracker". The tracker is set up and the app is up to date. My computer can find the tracker but it won't connect anymore. It's not connected to any other device. It was fine yesterday. I've tried every troubleshooting tip I can find. Nada. Any ideas? Please! 

p.s. I do NOT own a cell phone nor do I ever intend to buy another one. Had one, never used it, tossed it.

See if anything in this article helps - click to read. Beyond that, you can check with customer support, but it's getting where most smartwatches won't work with computers.

I've tried all the troubleshooting steps. It was working perfectly yesterday. I tested my Bluetooth with other devices and it works. Maybe it's the tracker? I can still return it, might do that. Too bad, I really liked it.

See if customer support has some suggestions, it can't hurt. Chat or phone works best. https://myhelp.fitbit.com/s/support?language=en_US

Well that wasn't helpful. The guy cut me off. So rude.

I'm sorry that happened. I've asked a Fitbit Moderator to stop by for you.

That won't be necessary. I'm returning the Fitbit. Too frustrating.

The only reason I bought the Fitbit over a few other brands I preferred was because of the Windows app, all the others absolutely needed a cell phone. Mobile phones and service plans are ridiculously expensive in Canada, some of the highest rates in the world. Not paying for something I will never use. I have my computer. Please let the devs know that some of us still exist, the ones who want the Windows app. Thanks.
