My mum wanted a fit bit.....

Friend gave me an old one - yay!

She's not sure what type of fitbit though ... and it's missing a dongle.

Not quite sure it's real purpose but I'll google 🤪

Any idea where I should get a cheap dongle?

I'm told the fit bit works.....

Any idea what fitbit this might be from the picture? I don't want to buy the wrong dongle..,

Any help gratefully received! Thanks 🙏

What dongle?
That looks like a charger, you just need to charge it up and download app and link it up to the phone

Oh right!

I see!

You just need to charge it. Full stop. It can count steps without the app.

It's asking me to identify 'which' fit bit model it is on the app.

Eek,

Any idea?

No numbers come up on the fit bit so I've not a clue how you see your steps on the actual wrist strap 😂 I think it might be the very first model or something x

Fitbit charge HR I think

Do you see pictures like this on the app?

Looks like a Charge HR to me, same as one DD has.

Screen is too thin to be a Fitbit Charge. That's a Fitbit Flex.

Not sure what you mean about a dongle, the charger is right there you just need to charge it, download the app and follow the instructions and it should guide you on what to do

The dongle is just needed to connect it to a laptop, but you can do everything on the app

Drats....

Sadly it must be too old or something as despite it saying fit bit on the actual items, I got this message 🤷‍♀️
