Understanding the Problem: Why is My Fitbit Luxe Showing the Wrong Date?

The most common reason for a Fitbit Luxe displaying the wrong date is a connection issue. This could be due to a weak Bluetooth connection, a temporary glitch in your phone’s Bluetooth settings, or even a problem with your Fitbit’s internal clock.

Method 1: Restart Your Fitbit Luxe

Sometimes, a simple restart can solve minor glitches. To restart your Fitbit Luxe:
1. Press and hold the side button until the Fitbit logo appears.
2. Wait for the device to restart completely.
3. Check the date to see if it has been corrected.

Method 2: Re-sync Your Fitbit Luxe with Your Phone

If restarting doesn‘t work, try re-syncing your Fitbit Luxe with your phone:
1. Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
2. Go to the Today tab and tap on your Fitbit Luxe tile.
3. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.
4. Wait for the device to sync. This may take a few minutes.
5. Check the date on your Fitbit Luxe.

Method 3: Check Your Phone’s Time and Date Settings

If your phone’s time and date are incorrect, your Fitbit Luxe will inherit these settings. Ensure your phone’s time and date are accurate:
1. Open your phone’s settings.
2. Find the Date & Time settings.
3. Ensure the time and date are correct and that automatic time and date settings are enabled.
4. Re-sync your Fitbit Luxe with your phone.

If none of the previous methods work, you can manually adjust the date on your Fitbit Luxe:
1. Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
2. Navigate to the Today tab and tap on your Fitbit Luxe tile.
3. Tap on the Settings icon (a gear symbol).
4. Select “About”.
5. Choose “Date”.
6. Use the buttons on your Fitbit Luxe to manually set the correct date.
7. Confirm the date by tapping the “Done” button.

Method 5: Factory Reset Your Fitbit Luxe

As a last resort, you can try factory resetting your Fitbit Luxe. This will erase all data from your device, so be sure to back up any important information before proceeding:
1. Open the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
2. Navigate to the Today tab and tap on your Fitbit Luxe tile.
3. Tap on the Settings icon (a gear symbol).
4. Select “About”.
5. Choose “Factory Reset“.
6. Confirm the reset by following the on-screen instructions.
