Hello!

I am new to fitbit and I am planning to travel to Europe for more than a month and I am wondering if fitbit Inspire HR is dual voltage? As I know Europe works with a different voltage and I do not want to damage my fitbit charging constantly if it has not been designed for dual voltage. How about the battery life time?

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Nounoush Welcome to the forum. Traveling abroad, you will need a converter to charge your Fitbit, same as you will need to charge your phone or any other electronic device. You can pick up at on Amazon for reasonable price. I would reconnect getting one with multiple USB slots, so you can charge your phone, tablet and Fitbit at the same time. Not that you will need to charge your Fitbit nearly as frequently as those other devices. Have fun on your travels.

Thanks for your kind response. I have the converter for my phone and it is a good news that I can use that for my fitbit as well!

Thanks

From what I see elsewhere, you would only need an adapter, not a (more expensive and heavy) converter—same as for phones, etc. Converters are only for things like hair dryers, shavers...  https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Other-Versa-Smartwatches/Traveling-with-your-fitbit/td-p/2843372

In fact, if you use a converter for a device that doesn't require it, it often breaks the converter. I've done it more than once before I figured out the problem. Safe travels to you!
