How to add Fitbit trackers to the Fitbit Connect app for Mac

Maybe you like to wear your Flex by day and slap your Surge on when it's time to get your swell on. You can add both to your Fitbit Connect app and your progress from both devices will be compiled in your Dashboard. Here's how!

To add a new device to your Fitbit account, you pair it just like you did the first time. This time, instead of clicking "New to Fitbit," click "Existing User." Enter your account information and proceed.

The next time you go to your Dashboard, your device will appear in your Devices list.

If your old Fitbit gave out and you bought the same model, then Fitbit will give you the option of replacing it within the Fitbit Connect app. It will not let you pair two of the same model. Here's how to go all "out with the old and in the with the new" and stuff.

1. Launch the Fitbit Connect app from the Finder or your dock.
2. Click Set Up a New Fitbit Device.
3. Click Existing User.

4. Enter your email address and password and click Log In.
5. Click Update Profile.

6. Click the Fitbit model you're replacing.
7. Click Replace Old Fitbit (model).

Follow the steps and pair your Fitbit, just like you did the first time. It's that easy.

If, for some strange reason, your old device comes back to life and you want to replace the new one with the old one, you can totally do that, like an infinite replacement loop.
