With the Deezer app on Fitbit Ionic, Fitbit Sense, and Fitbit Versa series, you can download your Deezer playlists and Flow directly to your watch. After you download music, connect Bluetooth headphones or speakers to listen to your music.

The content of this video will be the same for any versa family smartwatch including the latest Fitbit sense, versa 3 and versa 2. Deezer is a Music streamin. While the higher-end Fitbit Versa series allow users to install streaming music apps, until recently there were few music apps to choose from, such as Deezer, Spotify and Pandora. As one of the most popular online music streaming platforms in the world, Deezer allows its listeners access to more than 73 million music tracks.

*This feature isn't available on Fitbit Versa Lite Edition.

Note that you need a paid subscription to Deezer and a Wi-Fi connection to download music.

For information on how to download personal music and audio files with the Music app , see How do I listen to music and podcasts on my Fitbit watch?

The Deezer app is available to Ionic, Sense, Versa, Versa 2, and Versa 3 customers who have a paid subscription to Deezer. For more information about Deezer subscriptions, see deezer.com/offers.

You can listen to and download music from Deezer on your phone or computer while waiting for your download to complete.

Wi-Fi won't work on your watch when the battery is 25% or less.

When setting up Deezer, open the Deezer app on your watch to see your activation code. If the activation code doesn’t appear:

1. Make sure the device you have paired with your watch is nearby with Bluetooth turned on.
2. If the code still doesn’t appear, press the back button on your watch and then open the Deezer app again.

If you see a code on your watch, but can’t enter it at fitbit.com/deezer, make sure you’re using the code displayed on your watch. Each code is tied to a specific user and device and expires after several minutes. If you’re not able to activate Deezer, contact Customer Support.

If the activation code remains on your watch after entering it at fitbit.com/deezer:

1. Make sure the device you have paired with your watch is nearby with Bluetooth turned on.
2. In the Fitbit app, choose the Deezer playlists you want to download, and then place your watch on its charger within range of your Wi-Fi network.
3. If the activation code doesn’t go away on its own, press the back button on your watch and then open the Deezer app again.

Note that you need a paid Deezer subscription to download playlists to your watch.

To listen to your playlists:

1. After you download your playlists, connect a Bluetooth audio device, such as Fitbit Flyer headphones or a Bluetooth speaker, to your watch. For more information, see How do I connect Bluetooth audio devices to my Fitbit watch?
2. Open the Deezer app on your watch and tap the play button next to a playlist to start playing the music in that playlist. You can also tap the name of the playlist to see the list of tracks. You may need to scroll down to see all of your playlists.
3. In the list of tracks within a playlist, tap Shuffle All or tap an individual track to play it. The equalizer icon indicates which track is currently playing.
4. While music is playing, play or pause the track or tap the arrow icons to skip to the next track or previous track (returning to a previous track isn’t possible when listening to Flow). Press the + and - icons to control the volume.
5. To open additional controls, tap the 3 dots icon. Here, you can change the Bluetooth audio output device.
6. To listen to a different playlist, press the back button and tap a playlist. Note that you may need to reopen the Deezer app to choose a different playlist.

To force a sync, the device paired to your watch must be nearby with Bluetooth turned on.

Because Flow is a personalized soundtrack based on the music you add to your favorites, it can take a day or two before Flow shows up for download in the Fitbit app if this is your first time using Deezer. For more information on Flow, see support.deezer.com.

Your Deezer playlists update when your watch is charging and in range of your Wi-Fi network. If you added more tracks to a Deezer playlist that’s synced with your watch, your watch may run out of space when it attempts to download the new content. If you receive this error message, remove some of the music downloaded to your watch:

• If you want to remove personal music on your watch, see How do I listen to music and podcasts on my Fitbit watch?
• If you want to remove Deezer playlists on your watch, see How do I manage the Deezer playlists on my Fitbit watch?
• If you want to remove some of the tracks included in your Deezer playlists, manage your playlists through the Deezer app or website.

1. In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > your profile picture > your device image > Media > Deezer.
2. Tap the menu icon > Force Sync Now.

Note that downloading music can be battery-intensive and Wi-Fi won't work on your watch when the battery is 25% or less.

You can leave your phone at home. After you download your playlists and connect a Bluetooth audio device to your watch, you can listen to your music anywhere directly from your watch.

If you no longer see your playlists on your watch, it may be because your Deezer subscription expired or due to another problem with your Deezer account. For more information about your account, see support.deezer.com.

Make sure your watch is charged and in range of your Wi-Fi network to verify your account status periodically.

Although Deezer allows you to upload personal music files to your playlists, these tracks can’t be downloaded to your watch. When you download a playlist that contains personal music files, the unsupported tracks won’t appear on your watch. If a playlist only contains personal music files, the playlist won’t appear in the Deezer section of the Fitbit app. For information about how to download personal music and audio files with the Music app , see How do I listen to music and podcasts on my Fitbit watch?

Occasionally, there are other reasons why a track from the Deezer catalog is unavailable for playback. For more information, see support.deezer.com.

If you activate Deezer on Fitbit but aren’t offered a free trial, contact Deezer for more information about your eligibility. You won’t receive the free trial if you received a free trial to Deezer in the past or already have a paid subscription to Deezer.

If you want to use a different Deezer account on your watch or no longer want to use the feature, you can unlink your Deezer account. This will remove all Deezer music from your watch.

1. In the Fitbit app, tap the Today tab > your profile picture > your device image > Media > Deezer.

Summary: Fitbit Deezer is a merge made in music heaven and a must for Ionic and Versa lovers!

Deezer Code

I have a new audio love and it’s the Deezer app for my Fitbit Ionic which also works with the new Fitbit Versa. For the uninitiated, Deezer is an online music streaming service and can be used on a variety of devices from computers to smartphones and now the Fibit Ionic and Versa. Welcome to music fitness lovers!

However where this service differs from some of its competitors is the amount of content it boasts which is over 53 million songs (yes you heard correctly) and more importantly, the integration between Fitbit and the Deezer app is quite flawless, particularly the ability to easily upload music from this streaming service directly onto your smart activity tracker… e.g. offline storage.

More importantly, this process is far more simpler than directly copying your own MP3 files to the Ionic or Versa. So once you have uploaded your songs or playlists onto your Fitbit devices, you can then use your Wireless Fitness Headphones and listen to a whole wealth of audio content without the need for your smartphone… it’s true wireless music freedom.

Although a free service exists of Deezer, this will not work with Fitbit as it does not support an offline mode. The premium+ subscription starts from 11.99 per month which does offer the offline mode which is required for the Fitbit Ionic and Versa. All in all, it’s quite an affordable service, especially if you love your music.

Connecting your Fitbit Ionic or Versa to the Deezer service is a very easy process and the first step is to create an account with this audio streaming service. The next step is to run the Deezer app from your Fitbit product which will then direct you www.fitbit.com/deezer on a browser and it will prompt you to enter the activation code that is displayed your Ionic or Versa.

Once this process is done, you can then link your Deezer service to your Fitbit device. Although Fitbit have some motivation playlists that you can access (e.g. the flow), Deezer offers an insane amount of music that is available for you and more importantly, Fitbit offer a trial to check out this streaming service.

The best way to arrange your music to copy onto your Fitbit device is through a smartphone or PC. This allow you to search for music and create your own playlists. The next step is to run the Fitbit app from your smartphone, enter your Ionic or Versa area and select settings for the Deezer app and click add music.

The app will support both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections to transfer your music and be warned that Bluetooth is quite slow. We had a few hiccups in the Fitbit app not recognising our Wi-Fi connection at times but for the most part it was smooth sailing.

The only other issue with the Deezer app on the Ionic or Versa is that you cannot select an exercise and listen to the music at the same time. Even though these devices detect if you’re doing sport, you cannot monitor one particular workout which is a shame. However with over 53 million songs… it’s almost a moot point for us.

Final Thoughts?

Deezer for the Fitbit Ionic and Versa rocks!

Not only does it give you access to an endless list of music but it’s relatively easy to use and you don’t need a smartphone while doing your workouts and that my friends is where the Deezer app and service shines on the Fitbit Ionic and Versa!

Deezer For Fitbit Versa

Wow!
