I recently lost my Fitbit Flex on my university campus of 30,000+ students. My quest to find it has taken me to several departmental lost and founds as well as the Central Stores department where all lost things go to be sorted and auctioned.
My Flex was in a black band, and thus is completely indistinguishable from any other Flex in the same color band. At Central Stores they have two black Flexes, and I have no way of knowing if either band is mine.
I think there should be some sort of user/owner profile that can be activated when a tracker is lost, so whenever the tracker is synced or charged in a computer again, the owner's contact info is displayed. This way, people in search of their Fitbits could easily identify their own, and people who find them have a way of reuniting them with their owners.
On my search for my Fitbit I ran across at least ten other fitness trackers that had been lost in the last month, and the guy at Central Stores had little to no hope of ever getting them back to their owners. He says he wished their was a way of telling them apart so he could report them found.
