     I would expect it to be both, i.e. a data sync and a time sync.   
      
     If it's not a time sync, then how *is* the time synced? The time *is*   
   synced from phone to Fitbit, because when you manually select the   
   timezone in the Fitbit app, the change is propagated to the Fitbit.

     Yes, as I said (for my Charge 5), syncing seems to be awkward and   
   unreliable. :-(

     Perhaps you can post your problems to the Fitbit forum(s). (I used   
   them in the past, but that was still pre-Google.)   
      
     If it's any consolation, my Charge 5 has problems with the 'Health   
   Metrics'. 'Breathing rate' and 'Heart rate variability' frequently give   
   "No data in the past 24 hours". And 'Resting heart rate' sometimes is   
   way too low.
