Is there a way to find my watch?? It fell off my wrist in my house and I can't find it. Is there an app for this like there is to find my phone.

Hi, @Gylovette , as long as your Fitbit is charged, you should be able to find it, so it is a good idea to locate it as soon as possible. 

The secret is to try to sync your Fitbit.  Go to the Fitbit app, click on the icon for your device and it will show you the time and date of the last sync, or try clicking “sync now”.  If it syncs, you know you are within bluetooth range. 

In your case, if you are sure it is in your house it can be a little more difficult (as it will keep syncing) but if you have an iPhone or an iPad you can try Light Blue Explorer or for Android Bluetooth Finder.  These apps basically will beep with increasing urgency the closer your device is, until you find it.  You can find more information here .

I have found two lost Fitbits this way!  The first one fell off my wrist when I was taking stuff to the dump.  I thought it was gone for good, but I noticed my Fitbit synced when I was in my car - so I knew to find it there. 

The second one was more difficult... I lost it Christmas shopping.  I went to every store I had been in, and tried to sync.  When I had just about given up it synced in the last store...  They said they didn’t have it, but I kept saying it had to be there, because it synced (they did not know what I was talking about and thought I was crazy, but a security guard finally found it stuck at the bottom of one of the shopping baskets!

In your house it can be more difficult, because it will probably sync everywhere, but with one of the finder softwares where the Finder software bleeps louder the closer you get, you should narrow it down.

Good luck, and let us know if you find it!
