Is it possible to load data from more than one watch in the app?

Nice to meet you. I work at digital health care service company.

We want to develop an application that uses your watch and its health data.

So I have two questions.

1. Is it possible to load health data from more than one Fitbit watch in the application by using Fitbit’s SDK or API?
2. or if I can’t, then can I register more than one account(for Fitbit watch) in one application on one tablet PC to retrieve the health data?

I’ll be waiting for your reply. Thank you.

Hi @hi110er - you can attach multiple watches to your Fitbit account (but not multiple smart watches at the same time). The data retrieved from any watch synced with the Fitbit App and sent to the Fitbit server for that account is shown in the Fitbit App.

If you want to write a clock or app that runs on any smart watch currently attached to the Fitbit account it can retrieve the data, that has already been uploaded, via web API for the Fitbit account and in addition the real time data from the watch that it's running on.

If the watch is not connected to an account via the Fitbit app or is out of range to the phone it is normally linked with you can only retrieve watch data.

Of course you can use multiple Fitbit accounts too but only the data for the account that the Fitbit app is logged into and connected to the watch will be available.

Thank you for reply.

Then can I make own health application(Not a Fitbit app) and retrieve several Fitbit watches data by using SDK or API?

I still wonder if I can retrieve several watches' data at the same time(without account log-in/out process).

For example, I want to load John's heart rate from John's watch and Jane's sleep time from Jane's watch in my single app at the same time.

Do you think it's possible?

Thank you very much.

As @Guy_ suggested, this would be much less painful using the Web API (forum here).

Hi members , I have been trying to write and run test of my clock app using jest. I managed to get something working but it requires me to mock most of the things including heart-rate, document but still I can not execute these tests in the watch. Is it possible to write the test in different ways so that they can run in the real watch? If not, what do you think could be the reason?
