So I took the bloody thing off before my shower on Sunday and I still can’t find it. It has to be in the house-I don’t take it off at work. Suggestions on an app or something? I have one that gives “hotter-cooler” indications when I’m apparently near it but I’ve also turned the room upside down with no luck. ---

If it still synchs with your phone, you should be within forty or so feet of it. Try setting the alarm on it, and then listening for the buzzing. ---

That was my go-to method of finding my old Fitbit One. It’s a version of calling your phone to find your phone. ---
