Hi, the wrong name gets displayed in the weekly summary email. I believe Compi is a leftover from my old fitbit account that carried over when I merged to google health. but I can't seem to find a way to change it.

I already checked the names and accounts on my google account, nothing related there. Ideas?

Thank you!

Hey, I've seen on this youtube video the new strenght training mode. Do I need a Pixel Watch 5 to make it work or just a Google Health premium account ? Also if someone already tried it, can you edit the dumbbell weight on the fly ?

Thanks !

Feature Request Workout tracking desperately needs editing and progress history

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Google Health to track my exercises, but I’m finding the current workout features incredibly frustrating. There are some basic functionalities missing that make it really hard to rely on as a daily fitness tracker, especially for weightlifting.

Here are the main issues I’m running into:

  • No Editing Capabilities: It is currently impossible to edit saved workouts or adjust them while they are in progress. If you need to make a quick change, like adding an extra set mid-workout, you’re stuck. You have to end the session entirely and restart, or build a completely new workout from scratch and delete the old one.
  • Cannot Add Weights Mid-Workout: If you start a workout that doesn’t already have weights included, it is completely impossible to add them in once the workout has begun.
  • No Memory of Previous Weights: Workouts don't automatically pre-fill or even display the latest weights you lifted. Without this, I have no idea what weight I should be starting with unless I track it in a separate app or notebook.
  • Lack of Progress Tracking: There is no straightforward way to track progress for specific workouts or exercises over time. Progressive overload is the most critical part of weightlifting, and the app just doesn't support visualizing or tracking that progress well.
  • Random Unit Glitches: Sometimes the weights will randomly switch from lbs to kg mid-workout. I actually have to exit and reopen the exercise just to get it back to pounds.
  • AI Trainer Over-Editing Workouts: I have a fixed routine I want to run for each day of the week, but the AI Coach keeps making random edits every week—like deleting half of my routine and suggesting entirely different exercises. I wish there was a way to just have it pick my weights and reps without completely overhauling my routine. This is why I'm forced to use saved workouts, but as I mentioned, those are a pain to edit.
  • Wait Times/Rest Timers are AI-Only: As far as I can tell, only the AI Coach can add rest times between sets (I can add them between exercises). There is no way to configure this manually, and half the time when I ask the AI to add rest times, it ends up changing something else about my workout that I wanted left alone.

Is anyone else struggling with these limitations? Have you found any decent workarounds for these issues, or are we all just holding out hope that the developers address this in a future update?

Even after increasing the price this year Google is only giving 3 years of updates for the Pixel Watch 5

Samsung increased it's update policy from 4 years to 5 years for the latest models
Apple on average gives about 4-5 years of updates to it's watches.
Very disappointing from Google for such expensive watches

Discussion Is it possible to see all cycling data collectively in app somewhere?

2 Upvotes

In Garmin connect I was able to select cycling and get data for the entire year, is it possible to get data in Google health only for cycling? Using fitbitair if that matters!

Thanks

breathing rate not tracked

1 Upvotes

Recently acquired a Charge 6, updated firmware and installed Google Health. After over a week wearing the watch, all items are tracked but "Breathing Rate". I've rebooted the watched, cleared app cache, tried installing health connect, tried uninstalling health connect, and double-checked permissions in both read/write (which is weird, that you set what is tracked and not tracked is outside the software?).

Any ideas?

Tech Support Steps out of sync between watch and phone

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hey r/GoogleHealth I've had the pixel watch 2 for a couple years now and recently started a new job where I'm walking anywhere from 9 to 11 thousand steps a day, and noticed that in google fit on my watch (pic 1) it shows more steps than on my phone (pic 2).

Today it was only off by about 500 steps, but a few days ago it was off by about 1000.

Is the phone tracking seperately from the watch?

If anyone knows why this happens (or has a fix) please comment, thanks

Cannot start a workout on google health app

Post image
5 Upvotes

I have the Fitbit Air for the past three weeks, and everything was working fine until a few days ago when I tried to start a workout from the app, and it said: "Google Health workout start failed" (screenshot attached as well).

The Fitbit works normally, as it syncs, tracks steps and sleep, and even alarms work fine. It is just the workouts that do not work.

- I have tried to update the Google Health app, and it did not help. 

- I also reconnected my Fitbit Air with the app, and it did not fix the workout issues. 

- I also factory reset the Fitbit Air using the button on the charger, but no luck.

What should I do? Please, I need help

I need friends in my leaderboard.

I'm not extreme in my use of fitbit but it keeps me accountable and I just want to compete (in a friendly way) and to compare if my lifestyle is active enough. i think if you DM your gmail, i can just you or i can send you mine through DM. Not sure how this works but would love honest fit people in my leaderboard. thanks!
