Two accounts on one device?

[NeleB]

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying a Fitbit Versa 2, but want to know if it is possible to connect 2 accounts on one Versa?

I am going to wear it most of the time but my husband would like to be able to run with it sometimes too.

Thanks!

Hi, and welcome to the Community!

A fitbit can only be connected to one account at a time so using one device for two people is going to be tricky.

The limitation is there as the fitbit needs to take into account the user's age, height, weight etc

So, the nearest you'll be able to get to doing what you suggest is to have separate accounts for you and your husband and disconnect / reconnect the device whenever you want to transfer it from one to the other. This would entail having to set up the apps and configure the selected watch face etc every time. In my view this would be such a pain as to make it unusable.

If your husband only wants to track the occasional run then it may be better for him to get a Charge 4 which has less features than the Versa 2 (and so is cheaper) but does have built-in GPS which I understand is very popular with runners.
