I have a Lumia 928 with Windows 8. How can I get my phone to link with my fitbit?

Using just Windows Phone 8.0? As far as I know, you can't. However, the Windows 8.1 update with Denim firmware is now available for it. Go to your phone's settings, look up Phone Update, and after a few hours, you should be good to go. At that point, it's a matter of going into settings and selecting Bluetooth. It shout spot the fitbit pretty quickly.

I read on another thread that you pair the Fitbit with the Fitbit App, not Settings | Bluetooth. But you do need Denim/81. on the 928. . .

I could be mistaken about how you go about pairing. I went from a Lumia 1020 with my Fitbit to an Icon on developer preview, so it can't spot it. It's been a while since I went through the procedure.
