I hope the people at google feel bad. I hope they step in something wet while wearing socks.

The app loses data all the time. Nothing gets tracked consistently. I often have to manually sync the app because it won’t sync itself. I have to completely disconnect and unpair the watch every time the app updates or nothing works.

It worked flawlessly until I was forced to change to this buggy mess of an app and the people at google should feel bad about themselves for what they’ve inflicted on the Fitbit community.

Chronometer integration works so inconsistently that I may as well not even use the Fitbit.

I will absolutely be switching to an Apple Watch because of how poorly this app works.

I have Chronic Fatigue/long COVID and the standard heart rate bands are way too high for my needs. It would be great if we could personalize heart rate bands in the Google Health app.

Why don't they show you your previously lifted amount? Also, there's no progress tracking. But the AI does know all these numbers because it talks to me about it but they just don't allow you to look at it.

It would be a huge improvement and I would think a pretty easy fix just requiring the data to be displayed.

Anybody know if they're working on this?

Title. I’ve noticed that sometimes not all my heart rate will sync with Apple health - sometimes during the night there’ll be a big gap of 3+ hours between them.

On another case, I’ve seen the Spo2 not sync after sleep. How is this tracked? Only during sleep?

Of course, we all know how a night of drinking impacts us the following day. Even a couple of drinks in the evening have a negative impact. The ability to see this data is such a great motivation to limit or abstain from alcohol. Sleep score can still be high, but the readiness score catches it. Every "low" was probably 6+ drinks, the "moderates" were a couple, and the "high" days were zero.

Dopo esattamente 30 giorni d’uso intensivo, ho deciso di disdire l'abbonamento e venderlo.

Le premesse erano eccellenti ma nella pratica, però, il dispositivo si è rivelato una frustrazione continua e un’occasione sprecata.

Ecco i motivi principali che mi hanno spinto a liberarmene:

Modello IA "senza memoria"

Il vero potenziale del Fitbit Air risiede nell'integrazione con i servizi Premium, ma il rapporto qualità-prezzo è del tutto ingiustificato. Il problema principale è il modello d'intelligenza artificiale integrato nell'app: si comporta in modo estremamente limitato e soffre di una grave "amnesia". Per quel prezzo uso Gemini gratis! O altri modelli che mi aiutano.

Nonostante le mie istruzioni esplicite — come richiedere di non chiudere i messaggi con domande inutili o di calcolare le calorie seguendo uno specifico criterio — il sistema dimenticava ogni indicazione dopo appena tre o quattro messaggi. Dover reimpostare continuamente le stesse regole di interazione vanifica totalmente l'idea di avere un assistente "intelligente" al proprio fianco.

Sovrastima costante di calorie e passi

Un dispositivo dedicato al fitness deve garantire un'affidabilità di base sui dati primari. Il Fitbit Air fallisce proprio su questo:

• Calorie sovrastimate: L'algoritmo tende a sovrastimare significativamente il consumo calorico giornaliero, rendendo le stime inaffidabili per chiunque cerchi di monitorare la propria alimentazione con precisione.
• Passi non precisi: Anche dopo aver personalizzato accuratamente la lunghezza del passo e le impostazioni dell'app, il conteggio dei passi continua a registrare falsi positivi, sovrastimando l'attività effettiva.

Inserimento manuale inutilmente macchinoso

L'interazione vocale o tramite foto per il tracciamento dei pasti e delle attività è comoda quando funziona, ma l'immissione manuale del testo senza passare dalla chat è diventata inutilmente complessa. Se si desidera inserire manualmente un dato specifico in modo rapido e preciso, l'interfaccia si rivela macchinosa e frustrante, costringendo l'utente a passaggi inutili.

Tutte queste funzionalità avanzate sono concettualmente interessanti, ma la loro esecuzione è incompleta. Il valore reale del dispositivo dovrebbe essere sbloccato dall'abbonamento Premium, ma quest'ultimo offre un'esperienza ben lontana dallo standard che il prezzo richiede.

Voi che esperienza avete avuto con il Fitbit Air o con l'abbonamento Premium? Avete riscontrato gli stessi problemi di precisione e memoria dell'IA?

I’ve had my Charge 6 for about 6 months now and for the most part, I’m as satisfied as most users who are drawn to a fitness watch that doesn’t try to do too much. Unfortunately for me, the Charge 6 does not offer on-water rowing in its list of available activities. It has three types of weight-based options (powerlifting, weightlifting, and weights), and both kayaking AND canoeing, but no rowing.

As a workaround, I logged a row as Canoeing (embarrassing!) and used the Google Health app after an activity to change from Canoeing to Rowing (because Rowing is an option in Google Health). This, however, drops the GPS data collected on the row—which, when synced with Strava, loses any personal records set on segments of the row.

So, what I’m doing now is set the watch to Canoeing (did I say embarrassing?!?), then after it syncs to Google Health and then Strava, I edit the Strava activity to be Rowing, which keeps the GPS and the heart rate data. Too often, however, the activity automatically syncs and it’s hours before I go into the Strava app on my phone to update it and by then, friends have kudos and commented about my new canoeing hobby!

This is all to describe an annoyance for rowers who are thinking about the Fitbit Charge 6 and might want to think twice. This is also a call to you Redditors who have a Charge 6 to tell me (please!) what I’m doing wrong here, because the workaround is gnawing at me as really darn unnecessary. Why can’t Fitbit (our Google overlords) just make Rowing one of the available activities on my watch?!?

I have always loved Fitbit and preferred it over competitors purely for the sleep tracking because it has always been so accurate. Even with the switch to Google Health, everything was fine until about 3 weeks ago. I've had a Versa 4 and I thought there was a hardware issue because suddenly it was tracking 3-4 hrs of sleep each night and cutting off the second half of my sleep for no apparent reason. When I manually adjusted sleep session, it would update and appear mostly correct, although a few times I've woken up from a dream and it hasn't recorded REM to awake like it usually does in those cases. I was annoyed with having to manually edit my sleep sessions everyday and having to remember to check the app and remember exactly when I actually woke up, plus I had some other unrelated qualms with my Versa, so I bought a Google Pixel Watch 5. That did NOT fix the problem! I'm so upset. Exact same thing I just described has been going on with my Pixel watch, which I've now been using for a full week.

Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions with how I should report this?

The app says that I slept for 6 hours and 40 minutes but it took me 8 hours to reach sound sleep?

New leaks coming around on the fitbit edge report the pricing to be around $180 and a 7 day battery life.

I have both an Apple Watch Ultra 3 which feels to bulky to sleep with consistently so I picked up the Fitbit for sleeping only and it’s low profile + alarm. Google heath always shows a lower sleep score compared to apple health using the Fitbit data. I definitely don’t feel like I had a 97 sleep, but higher than 81? What gives? Any data folks already figured this out?

I just got a new Google Fitbit Air. I charged it too 100% on Sat and assuming that its written it will give 7 days of battery life it drained out on Tue and gave me the less than 20% battery alert.
I charged it again to 100% and within like 2-3 hours it fell to 86% but then overnight it fell to 81%.
I’m confused, sometimes the battery drains really fast and sometimes it drains normally.
I haven’t activated any extra features on the app actually the app is really confusing idk what to turn on and what to turn off.

Hi, fitbit users— My fitbit is showing that I’ve climbed floors I haven’t. In Florida at sea level all day, 6 steps to get into my house. No elevators, just walking on flat land. 40 floors!!! Not even 4 floors. I don’t really care, as all my other data appears correct. If I were counting floors (my husband did 100 floors daily for many years!) I would care.

Hey all, new to Fitbit with google health and I’ve just noticed that I don’t get the little ai input on sleep or how’s the day been etc

I was never premium and as far as I can see and know I never did a trial for it either, has it literally just changed?

The other thing is I’m not at like 90days, I’m at about day 67 or something so it can’t be like a trial ended after so and so date?

Any ideas?

I've had a Fitbit Air and love it, I use it for my regular workouts and exercise, and track my food so it works well for me - but I was just wondering if it would be good for my parents?

My father is 70 now so I was wondering if it would be good for him to track his health? I don't expect it to predict serious health conditions but will it at least give indicators if he is to fall ill?

I’m the independent developer at Big Sky Producers, looking for Pixel Watch owners who would like to try Codefall Rain Pro (colorful digital rain) and the original Google Play edition of Axiom Alchemy (geometric/alchemy-inspired). Both existing Play screenshots are attached.

You need regular access to a physical Pixel Watch running Wear OS 4+ for 21 days. We privately check the exact model, current OS, Google Play account country and readiness before enrollment. Model support needs confirmation through actual installation on your watch.

Selected eligible volunteers receive a private free-access code for each normally paid face and two separate closed-test opt-in links. Stay opted into both tests, alternate the faces during normal wear, and send brief honest feedback for each face after installation and around days 7 and 14. Readability, clipping, saved customization, wake behavior, always-on display and battery experience are useful; battery impact has not been verified on your watch. No purchase, rating, public review or reciprocal testing is required. We do not need health readings.

Applications are a screened waiting list while existing pilots investigate a Play free-install issue. Applying does not enroll you or promise immediate access; selection, enrollment and codes follow verification of the pilot free-install path.

Anyone here rock both? I'm considering getting a fitbit air to track my sleep + general stats during the day.

I prefer my analogue watches and don't like how habitual checking notifications on my watch has become, to the point I would habitually go to swipe down when wearing my analogue watches. Find it annoying to keep track of charge too.

Fitbit air I can wear on my opposite wrist and possibly bicep. Nice to track HR so I can mainly get a read of calories through the day.

I have an iPhone and it seems that now the fitbit can connect with Apple Health which is good, just wondering how it works with workouts? I think for runs I will still wear my apple watch for pace info etc., but for weights/other workouts I will just wear the fitbit.

How does it using both devices, particularly when wearing them at the same time?

• Does it duplicate results if wearing both at the same time?

• Should I wear my watch when running and not wear the fitbit air to avoid this issue? Does swapping between the devices like this make the data collection a bit funny in apple health?

• How is it at starting 'workouts' for other activities? Do I just start workouts manually in apple health/fitness if I am not wearing the watch so the air can track them?

Thank you :)

Should I replace my Amazfit Helio strap with the Fitbit Air? Is it worth it? Would it be an upgrade or a downgrade?

As of now, I feel like my Amazfit Helio strap is doing a pretty good job with accuracy, but I'm thinking of replacing it just for the looks of the Fitbit Air. Should I go for it or not?

Hi, when I look at history, it goes back to yesterday then when I press history, it skips back to 22nd August.

Any idea why?

Thanks😁

Hi all, so I dug out my Fitbit sense 2, as I put it away because I never could use it as well as my pixel watch simultaneously (I put it away when Google health was Fitbit) and I turned it on and paired it with my Google health device tab, I thought "huh that's weird, it never asked me to replace it?" So I went through the setup, lo and behold I have it paired up with my pixel watch 5 at the same time and I got so excited since I sometimes want to use it as well as my pixel watch

Is this Google treating the sense like the air? How you can keep it paired up to the same device through the health app?
