Your Fitbit reliably counts the hours, but there are a few instances that’ll leave you wondering how to change the time on your device. The most common reason your clock might be off is long-distance travel. If you find yourself feeling jet lag, your Fitbit may be lagging a bit too. Read this guide to learn how to change time on your Fitbit device.
