Voice Assistant
Check the weather, set timers, alarms, and reminders, control your smart home devices, and more by
speaking to your watch. Note that you can set reminders on Amazon Alexa but not Google Assistant.
These alarms are timers are separate from those you set in the Alarms app
or Timer app
.
To set up a Voice Assistant for the watch, go to the Fitbit app. From there, choose between
Amazon
Alexa
or
Google Assistant
. Only one voice assistant may be activated at a time.
Interacting with the Voice Assistant
Once setup is complete, use your watch to interact with
Amazon Alexa
or
Google Assistant
. Depending
on how you configure you watch, you can activate the voice assistant in three ways:
●
Swipe left to find the
Amazon Alexa
or
Google Assistant
app on your watch. Only the voice
assistant you set up within the Fitbit mobile app will show up on the watch.
●
If you chose the voice assistant as your button shortcut, hold the button on your watch for 2
seconds.
●
If you added the voice assistant to your menu of shortcuts, double press the side button.
Once activated, say your request.
●
Set a timer for 10 minutes.
●
Set an alarm for 8:00 a.m.
●
What's the temperature outside?
●
Remind me to make dinner at 6:00 p.m.
●
How much protein is in an egg?
Note that saying “Alexa” or “Google” doesn’t activate the voice assistant on your watch. The
microphone in your watch turns off when you close the voice assistant or when the watch’s screen turns
off.
For Alexa only:
You can install the Amazon Alexa app on your phone for more functionality. With the
app, your watch can access additional Alexa skills. Note that not all skills work with Model FB512, as
they must be able to display feedback as text on the watch’s screen. Model FB512 has a speaker. For
