Enable Fitbit HR and other for heartrate tracking
Fitbit HR is Bluetooth but doesn't seem to work with BitGym. That's a real pity - I'd love to use it for heartrate instead of buying another gadget. This is the one thing holding me back from buying a sub.
We would LOVE to support the Fitbit product line but at this time they have a closed API which does not allow other apps like ours access. It would be technically possible for them to broadcast a standard bluetooth smart HRM profile, so if you feel like contacting their support maybe they’ll implement it in the future. You can vote on the submitted issue on their support site here: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Charge-HR/Why-isn-t-Bluetooth-Smart-supported/td-p/647893 but contacting their support directly might be more effective. Ask for standard Bluetooth Smart HRM profile support!

Recently I took a Fitbit Charge HR. But I started using it without setting up. Then I have decided to reset my device and start using from the beginning. I searched on google and found http://itphobia.com/the-a-z-guide-of-reset-fitbit-charge-hr/. I followed the instructions and It was successful attempt.

I have a G2smart watch with heart,sleep& set monsters also Bluetooth, will it sync with the app?

The Mio watches which mention support for Bluetooth Smart (such as the Alpha) will work, yes!
