Fit Check is designed to help you get the best possible signal by confirming that Smartbuds’ sensors are making solid contact with your skin. It’s especially helpful when you’re first getting started and may not be sure if you're using the right sizes or positioning the bud correctly. But once you’ve found your groove, Fit Check doesn’t need to be part of every session.
When Fit Check is important
1. You’re just starting out
If Smartbuds are new to you, Fit Check helps you learn the right combination of wing size, tip size, and positioning. A good fit improves comfort and maximizes signal quality, so using Fit Check during your first few sessions is key.
2. You haven’t changed your wings or tips in a while
Over time, you need to replace wings and tips to keep your Smartbuds sensing effectively. If it’s been several weeks since your last replacement—or you’re not sure whether the current set is still delivering a good signal—Fit Check can help you confirm.
3. You’ve noticed changes in your data
If your sleep data looks off or you see an alert that Smartbuds lost contact, it may be a sign that your wings or tips need replacing, or that your Smartbuds could use a positioning check.
4. You’re trying out a new size
Whenever you switch to a different wing or tip size, Fit Check helps confirm that the new parts are making solid contact and giving you a reliable signal before you begin your session.
When it’s OK to skip Fit Check
Once you’ve dialed in your setup, Fit Check no longer needs to be a daily ritual. You can confidently skip it when:
1. You already have your sizing and placement figured out
If you consistently get a good signal and the buds feel natural to put on, daily Fit Checks aren't necessary.
2. You replace wings and tips regularly
If you’re staying on top of part replacement and your sleep data appears complete, you don’t need ongoing confirmation.
3. You want a faster start to your session
Skipping Fit Check can speed up your nightly routine. If you’re in a familiar setup and everything feels right, go ahead and move forward.
