What Are The Fitbit Badges And How To Earn Them?

One of many things that Fitbit users love and adore is badges. Fitbit has gamified fitness, so the user gets rewarded when they complete some tasks. To keep things interesting some badges can be earned only once while others you can earn daily. These badges are divided into daily badges and lifetime badges. Tasks can be as simple as an evening walk to as grinding as weight loss.

What are Fitbit Badges

Badges also act as milestones for some users and help them in celebrating small victories. They provide positive reinforcement to all users. So you will find appreciating yourself often for all the little goals you are achieving while performing day-to-day mundane tasks.

Fitness doesn't just only include a gym or your daily exercise routine. And Fitbit badges are proof there is always an opportunity to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle. To keep Fitbit users motivated, badges can only be earned while performing day-to-day activities. So next time use office stairs instead of using the elevator.

What To Do When Fitbit badges Are Not Showing?

Some Fitbit users complain that they are not getting Fitbit badges. First and foremost it is important to note that only steps recorded from any Fitbit fitness tracker or MobileTrack are used for awarding badges. Manually tracked activities or any activity done through the third-party app is also not counted.

And if you are doing a challenge with someone, then make sure you are in the same timezone as the challenger. If you are in a different time zone than the challenge owner, you will find that challenge leaderboard stats do not match with dashboard stats.

If you meet the above mention criteria and still are not able to view your badges, then follow the below mention steps:

1) Ensure your Fitbit app is updated to the latest version available.

2) Log out of the Fitbit app.

3) Force close the app.
