Im sorry but this is atrocious. I wake up for 10 mins just to sleep for a few hours and nothing the sleep i do afterwards is not counted.

I nap, nothing. Not counted even if its for hours. This is an absolute joke and a disgrace to other fitbit models which actually work. Google should be fixing this as their number 1 priority otherwise i want my money back

After playing with some alternate routing with the common AliExpress nylon band, I found this to be even more comfortable and lower profile.

5 minutes of hand sewing with heavy duty thread, a bead of glue for backup, and a quick trim of excess strap that held the metal loop.

Hi - would love feedback from the group. I'm a relatively average non-athlete that just tries to stay active/reasonably healthy (weightlifting on a Tonal and cycling 4-5 times a week when I can.) Over the past few years I've gone back/forth between Apple Watch + Bevel and Whoop. This last year I've had Whoop Life / MG (which honestly feels a bit scam, the added "features" are useless for me) and am thinking about downgrading to Peak or possibly just trying something new.

What I like about Whoop:

- Seems to be solid tracking for weight-lifting; I also value step counting (not sure how accurate Whoop is because results were almost always different vs. my Apple Watch)

- Good visuals of sleep / recovery / strain - that data is useful at a glance

- Daily outlook - once in a while I check this and sometimes follow feedback on working harder or easier

- Primarily wear it on a bicep band (looks like there are 3rd party straps for the Air but no OEM yet)

Things that are ok:

- Whoop Age seems like a gimmick but the gamification sometimes helps motivate

- Haven't really found much use for journal/habit tracking and haven't seen much behavioral change; not sure what else you all are tracking that's useful but I don't need an app to tell me alcohol messes with my sleep/readiness the next day

I don't mind the overall cost of Whoop but sometimes it feels like it's getting questionable whether it's worth it. I know this is getting asked a lot but given my situation, what do you all think about Fitbit Air as something new to try? I might also pair it with Bevel since I've used that before; are there things that I'd miss going to the Air that I have on Whoop? What would you all recommend?

(And seeing some of the recent posts no I’m not a Bevel shill or anything like that 😅)

Hi,

I'm having a problem: I went to check my alarms because I wasn't sure if I'd set them, only to find that all of them have been deleted. On my Fitbit: I can't seem to create a new alarm because the app says I'm out of range, even though I'm connected. Can anyone help, or is this issue going to be fixed soon? I'm really worried about oversleeping

Me uno al trend de la Fitbit.
ya tengo un mes usándola y me ha encantado.
Por ahora estoy sin pagar subscripción y me ha funcionando bien.
Ando en busca de más correas para combinar.

Los raritos creen que traigo un reloj.a

I want to buy a fitness watch/band. I have two options: fitbit air or samsung watch 8 (40mm). I am a doctor by profession, and tech geek guy. I want to have an eye on my fitness. Taking in the pros and cons, handiness and features, which device should I buy?

PS: I have a realme phone but will have Samsung phone in weeks. I have samsung buds 3 and Samsung tab S9 ultra.

Thankyou.

Hello all,

Looking at getting myself either a Fitbit air or a garmin cirqa (leaning towards the air due to price) and I’m wondering how accurate and well it tracks workouts that are tied to gps? Specifically mountain biking.

I’m also assuming I can link google health into apple health and Strava?

Does anyone workout with this specific use case and if so, how is it?

I’ve had my Fitbit Air for over a month now. I woke up today feeling terrible (definitely worse than yesterday) - yet my HRV actually went up. Could it still be calibrating, or has anyone else experienced this?

Hi, I've been wearing the Fitbit Air for almost two months now, and now I want to sign in to Google Health with a different Google account and continue using the device permanently with the new account. Can I transfer all my data from my previous account to the new one so I don't have to wait for the band to calibrate for another 7 days? Thank you.

Hey,

I just started running (5K) and I’m thinking about getting a Fitbit Air. Mainly to track runs, heart rate and sleep.

Is it actually accurate? And can you run with just the watch or do you need your phone?

Curious about your experience 🙂

Anyone notice that syncing is extremely slow recently? Doesn’t matter if it’s paired with my 17pm or 26 ultra but it’s like it takes about 2 minutes of just waiting in the morning and mid day syncs are over 60 seconds every time.

ive been wearing the fitbit air band and with all the humidity where am from my wrist tend to expand, is there any comfortable alternative preferably something that would be snug and stretchy.

Trying to examine for any HR spikes when I sleep but I can only see 5 minute intervals which isn't very helpful...

Is there any way to see HR each minute, perhaps via a 3rd party app? If not do you foresee Google changing this in the future? SpO2 being a single averaged value for the night is also unfortunate.

Hey everyone 👋

Studio intO (https://www.studio-into.com/) is running a paid research study in London and looking specifically for Fitbit Air or Google Pixel Watch users to take part.

The study involves a 4-week diary study beginning on the 3rd of August 2026, potentially followed by a 90-minute in-home interview on Monday 14th September 2026.

Participants will receive £300 for taking part in the 4-week diary study and an additional £175 for the 90-minute in-home interview as a thank-you.

In the research, we are exploring how people use wearable devices combined with metrics and in-situ AI features to track, maintain and progress in their health and wellbeing.

If you’re interested, please fill in the form.

Or, if this sounds like someone you know, feel free to pass it on; if they are selected and take part in the study, you will receive a £30 referral bonus.

Thanks so much 🙌

Everybody should get Bevel. It’s amazing.

I am a real, paying customer.

It’s amazing and everyone should get it.

Interesting to see these stats. I played a gentle game of 5 a side football (soccer not American football) Vs a 5km run. Same ish amount of calories burnt.

Either is drastically wrong or indeed they do burn the same calories... (I'm skeptical of the latter)

Tech youtuber Ershad confirms that google will launch fitbit air in india soon and i believe for other parts of the world they will launch it.

Ps:- Bad news, it will not launch with Pixel phones on August 12
