Preparing for the Transfer

Before you start the transfer process, there are a few things you need to do to ensure a clean break:

  • Factory reset your Fitbit Inspire: To ensure a fresh start for the new owner, factory resetting your Fitbit Inspire will wipe all data and settings.

Transferring Your Fitbit Inspire

Once you’ve completed the preparatory steps, you can start the transfer process:
1. Open the Fitbit app: Make sure you are logged into your Fitbit account on your smartphone.
