4. Select the Correct Time Zone: Choose your current time zone from the list.
5. Sync Your Fitbit Luxe: Ensure your Fitbit Luxe is connected to your phone via Bluetooth and sync your device.
Important Note: If your phone’s time settings are inaccurate, your Fitbit Luxe will also display the incorrect time. It’s crucial to ensure your phone’s time and time zone are set correctly before adjusting the time on your Fitbit Luxe.
