I think you should be able to sync with your phone and then upload data at a later date. Let us store data locally so that an internet connection is not required to see current stats.
Perhaps the persisted data on phone or in the cloud could be edited later, e.g. on the following day or after, to reflect the correct information, without affecting the tracker, which would be treated as authoritative for what it measured, while the persisted history could take account of other factors.
Hi @mortonboots, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to edit tracker data stored off the tracker. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. While we don’t currently have plans to release this feature, we always appreciate the passion and creativity that comes out of this Community. Since we know this idea is important to many of you, we have left voting open to continue tracking interest and will post another update if anything changes. To learn more about how Fitbit decides which suggestions get developed, visit our FAQs.
Allow for more time between syncs - I'm talking biweekly or monthly, or allow daily offline syncs. Offline storage of data (and syncs) allowing me to track my data for months offline if necessary. Zero battery should not mean potentially messed up clock/alarm functions - alarms can't always be preset. Offline FitBit app for tracking functions.

The only thing that technically should be needed to connect the phone app and the fitbit watch for syncing is bluetooth, so it would be good if that was possible, not everyone wants to run location service all the time, and some do not have internet connection that is cheap or always available, so they should still be able to use the fitbit.
Hi @SunsetRunner, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about being able to sync with the Fitbit app via Bluetooth without needing internet connection with us. This idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, so I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to keep the forums organized and make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote.
In regards to the location services, we'd recommend to see this help article which explains why this is required. Vote for this request and keep adding your suggestions!
I recommend you allow FitBit devices to sync to their respective phones to store more data locally. I suggest this data be stored on the phone, extending the maximum number of days the FitBit can track beyond the now reported 5 days. I understand the final analysis is done off device, but the data could be stored until internet is available.

Fitbit app desperately needs offline sync issue. The device should be able to offload data to phone when offline for further processing when online. The fitbit app can display basic data until online data restored such as basic heart rate info, exercise info, etc.

Fitbit staff say the software has changed and Versa lite will only present correct time if permanently on Bluetooth day and night. Whereas previous software was great timekeeping without regular syncing (eg sync once or twice a week). Due to medical devices I cannot use blueooth/WiFi always. PLEASE revert the software. I thought my Versa faulty???

Hi @cherieishere - the watch, via Bluetooth to the phone, needs a phone Internet connection in order to send the data to the Fitbit servers for safe keeping. So if you don't have Internet on your phone you can't sync.

Fitbit trackers are dependent to the pc or mobile phones to navigate and store data as well as the configurations, specially the time zone management. And this feature needs wifi connection where not all tje time we have that at sea. It could be better to make tracker management direct to pc thru bluetooth or other means.
I see your point, but unfortunately, I am quite sure that wish will not be granted. The device stores data for 7 days, are you without Wi-Fi for that long?
