Fitbit Symbols & Fitbit Icons Meaning Explained!

Icons and Symbols on Fitbit Trackers: Meaning and Explanation?

Whenever we talk about Fitbit trackers here at Chronoat we begin with their origin dating back to late 2010s. Today I feel it’s time to mix things up, let’s spice it up a bit, shall we, huh? Let’s put the spotlight on the benefits Fitbit provide through functionality.

Do you know you can do the following with a Fitbit tracker?

• Track Deep Sleep and keep in the loop with Sleeping Cycle.
• Measure your Heart Rate, Resting Heart Rate, and keep track of important changes.
• Remain informed about the following secondary metrics like distance, pace, steps, or whatever and however you want to frame them.
• Analyze the Blood-Oxygen ratio of your body.
• Make calls and texts anytime and anywhere using just the Fitbit.
• Enhance your GYM training using dedicated modes created for your needs.

However, in order to use any of the above-mentioned or not mentioned feature you have to know how to navigate around your smartwatch. If you wouldn’t be able to pull up menu I don’t think anything would amount to anything.

Therefore, to make it easy for you, we have compiled the different sections of symbols/icons with their usage relevant to your Fitbit tracker.

Default Fitbit Icons

Just like any other smart device there are certain icons (pictures to describe the function of activity) to ease the user while they would navigate. Like I am not familiar with the textbook definition of the word ‘icon’ but I hope the above written is enough to make it clear to you.
