==Oauth update renders old devices unusable (2021)== | |||
Legacy fitbit devices (Surge and prior) used oauth1.0 to connect to Fitbit's servers. The firmware embedded onto these devices gate core functionality like setting the time, setting the clock face, logging heartrate data, setting alarms, etc. behind this authentication process. The company leaves no way to use the devices without authenticating and uploading data to their servers and having that data fed back to your client which is no longer possible on these watches due to them updating endpoints to oauth2.0, making the Fitbit Surge the "Super Watch" that could only correctly tell the time for less than a decade. | |||
