Police presence seen on Shard Bridge
Can anyone explain when’s the best time to search? Surely low tide you can see a lot more of the riverbed? ThanksLive tide times for the stretch of river located close to current police activity at Shard Bridge.Tide Times and Tide Chart for Poulton le Fylde

Should the device be underwater, it completely alters the signal path, it's possible to pick it up, but unlikely. The signal would not reach the surface of the water, unless very close to the top. I doubt a FitBit would work if you threw it in a half filled bath, and put your phone in the same room. The water attenuates the signal.Whilst we wait on developments, I've been doing some research on fitbits this evening.
Turns out you can use apps like Light Blue explore to locate bluetooth devices which are within connectivity range, including other people's fitbits.
You install the app, it shows devices within range and gives you a signal strength so you can effectively triangulate them.
Caveats in this case are that it would have needed to be done before the Fitbit battery died, and it would be possible to pair with the missing device but you wouldn't be able to get the data off it (unless you request the data from fitbit themselves).
Kerist that sounds very complicated! Well done for postingWhilst we wait on developments, I've been doing some research on fitbits this evening.

Interesting. We could assume the watch was charged overnight so had near to full battery when leaving the house. My only concern would be how long they can withstand water. I know some models are waterproof to certain depths, but for only so long. It would have well over an hour before the police even got there.Whilst we wait on developments, I've been doing some research on fitbits this evening.

I'll take your word for it, add that to the caveats listShould the device be underwater, it completely alters the signal path, it's possible to pick it up, but unlikely.

Private investigators maybe?Odd. What do they need money for?
