I was able to quickly figure out that my Fitbit really wasn't outdoors because the signal strength was too weak even though I was able to sync, so back indoors I went.

#HOW TO CHECK MAC ADDRESS OF FITBIT VERSA BLUETOOTH#

It's a free app intended for testing Bluetooth devices, but it had just what I needed: the ability to track actual signal strength. One of my Twitter followers suggested I try BTLExplorer for the iPhone.

Since I was certain my Fitbit wasn't at my desk, I needed something that would give me more Signal strength information. That meant either my Fitbit was at my desk, or its sync range was actually greater than 15 feet. I figured once I was out of range again, I'd be closer to narrowing down exactly where to look.Īnd then I found a problem: I could sync from everywhere indoors. Searching my route didn't turn up anything, so I went back inside to see where else I could sync. Based on the documented Fitbit sync range, that meant mine was most likely in the grass. I could sync even at the end of the yard farthest from my desk, but not beyond that. Unfortunately, my desk is along an exterior wall, so I couldn't rule out the route through the yard to drop off the trash. Sitting at my desk where I spend most of my time gave me a successful sync, so I had a pretty good idea where to start looking. The device specifications say you need to be within 15 feet for the Bluetooth connection to kick in and transfer data. I started by seeing if I could sync my Fitbit.

I started with some trial and error to figure out where my Fitbit wasn't. It's really all about reducing the variables to trim down your search area.

Without some planning ahead of time, I never would've tracked it down. Yes, I found my Fitbit, but not at all where I expected. That's a lot of ground to cover looking for something as small as a Fitbit fitness tracker.įinding something so small can be pretty intimidating, but with a little planning and logic, there's a chance of success. Most of that time was spent at my desk, but I had also been pretty much everywhere else in my place, and I took out the trash. I started the day with my Fitbit One in its sleep band, and didn't realize until a couple hours later I was still wearing the wristband, but my tracker was nowhere to be found. You can use Find My iPhone to track down your misplaced iPhone, but what about Bluetooth devices that don't offer a similar feature, like your Fitbit? You can track that down, too, with the help of your iPhone and a little luck.
