Why required to constantly resync to set timers

[Kmbebeb33]

Is there a way to be able to use your timers set with Alexa without having to constantly re sync the device to your phone. As in yard work or any timer in general.

If you use the on the watch timers / alarms there is no need to sync.

Alexa may be able to set these for you, but you will need the watch to be connected with the phone for that.

In general if you have the phone with you everything should work.

However if the phone is stopping the Fitbit app or Bluetooth from running then you will have to manually sync and won't get any notifications, et.c.

Try this for the phone

On the phone check battery optimizations

[the options may be different in your version]

• First go to Settings > Apps & Notification > Special app access
• Click on Battery optimization
• Now press the drop down menu [...] and select “All Apps”
• Click on Bluetooth and then select “Don’t optimize”
• Same with Fitbit
• Next go to Settings > Apps  > Fitbit > Storage
• Clear cache [not data]
• Force stop the Fitbit app

It may resolve the issue so you have the choice of which timers and alarms to use.
