I have a FitBit Inspire HR fitness tracker. I play Pokemon Go on my phone. Will the steps that the FitBit detects, get added to towards the distance covered to hatch eggs in the game, if I do not have my phone with me when I am walking?
I have enabled Adventure Sync feature on my phone.
I know that the fitness tracker does not have built-in GPS. However, I see that it has connected-GPS; which means that it can detect the location via the phone. But since I will not be having my phone with me when I am walking, how will the distance be counted? And then, how will this distance be recorded in the game?
I am asking this question because, without the phone, the FitBit will not be connected to GPS and Bluetooth to record data. So, will the game be able to see the distance covered?
Without the phone, FitBit will count the steps. But then, after I connect my phone back to my fitness tracker, will the accumulated steps get added to the game? (Example: Say I left my phone at home and walked for 10 km. Then, when I come back home, the tracker automatically connects to my phone (since Bluetooth is on), will the 10 km get added in the game and get deducted/go towards hatching of the eggs?)

Currently, as of this time of answer, there is no integration with Pokemon Go Adventure cooperating with third party fitness trackers such as fitbit.
source.
"The current consensus is that ALL 3rd party fitness trackers will NOT credit distance towards weekly goals UNLESS they have native support for HealthKit or Google Fit (in essence, only the Apple Watch).
Fitbit uses it's own proprietary API that you need special licenses to integrate with. So it could come later.

What if I link my FitBit with Google Fit account - like it specifies here?
– Dashamlav
Mar 21 at 18:36
@Dashamlav There's a decent chance that will work. Pokemon Go links with Google Fit, so if your FitBit reads into that app, it could work like a tunnel to bring the distance over to Pokemon Go. I can't say it definitely will work, but it's worth a shot. Otherwise, you'll just have to carry your phone on your walks. Just having it in a pocket is enough for Adventure Sync.

@Dashamlav Transferring data from FitBit to Google Fit doesn't count for Pokemon GO. The data need to be directly recorded in Google Fit to count as steps for the game.

@Xander I have not used the FitBit Plus app linked above as it is invite-only, but syncing the regular FitBit app with Google Fit via an app called Fit-To-Fit does actually work in Pokemon Go. I have confirmed this via hatching eggs and finding candies after walking with just my FitBit (and syncing). Do you have documentation from Google that their Google Fit app can differentiate between synced data and data that is directly recorded?
