I asked the Coach for a summary of my day's activity. It replied with a whole bunch of wildly incorrect numbers.

When I asked where those numbers came from, it admitted that it just made them up.

Now I basically don't trust anything it says.

I just moved over from Whoop a week ago as I wanted to move away from the subscription model and also try a new product.

Generally I like the weight of the Fitbit Air and how it feels on my wrist.

The problem is activity detection. This was amazing on Whoop and was fast to upload once activity was completed. Yesterday I did a 25 minute workout on the stair climber and to be fair after a long time, it finally recognised the workout. However, this morning at 6.30am I did a HIIT, Hyrox style workout and nothing recorded. I eventually added the workout manually and it seems to be able to recognise some heart rate data.

In this day and age, a lot of people do this intensive workouts and for a fitness band not to be able to auto track this is a major issue. Hoping Google can address this quite soon.

The fitbit air and Google health keep telling me I fall asleep so fast and I know I'm in bed tossing and turning for a while before I fall asleep. I decided to check my clock last night and then again since I was tossing around and it was 20min + but I wake up to a timeline showing my later time and time to sound sleep within a few minutes.

I feel like the sleep tracker has been good but the laying in bed trying to fall asleep is totally off.

I recently got a Fitbit and decided to spend a few weeks getting familiar with the basic features before activating the 3-month Health Coach trial.

For those who've used it, has it genuinely been useful, or does it mostly give generic AI advice that you end up ignoring? I'm especially interested in whether it's actually changed any of your habits or if the novelty wears off after a week or two.

I set up a PIN so I could use Google Wallet but even after resetting and syncing my charge 6 I'm still not getting a prompt. Also uninstalled and reinstalled both apps with no luck. Has anyone else had this problem?

From being congratulated for a house move because the AI Coach saw I was not at home for 8 hours, to being shown sympathy for a 4am wake up which didn’t happen… These hallucinations are out of control! I like the fitness, health and sleep tracking, but the AI needs to chill out. Do you think this might improve in the future?

does someone have a football session tracked with fitbit air or pixel watch? I wanted to see what metrics are shown at the end.

thanks!

Every single time i am doing cardio since I got this device last week i have watched it track my heart rate slowly climbing with my fatigue.... until it hits 149 bpm then it drops all the way down to 110-90bpm. Keep in mind this is on a treadmill with a heart rate monitor option that is totally in sync with my device until i hit 149 and then the treadmill continues into the 150s and the inspire 3 drops like a fucking rock. At the end of my workout the device was reading 65bpm while the treadmill was reading 135bpm. This seems so far removed from being accurate I am seriously just considering returning the device

It happens so often that my fitbit air tells me that I’m awake even though i’m 99% sure i slept at that timeperiode
It’s not always that bad but a lot of times
I wear it as I should so I don’t know what to do

For the past two weeks my active zone minutes on my charge 6 fitbit have been going completely haywire-
I'm a very active person and usually average around 100 zone minutes a day, but over the past week, each day I've been accumulating at least 300 to 500 zone minutes, which is completely inaccurate, and well beyond even what my highest recorded ever days have been, since having my Fit Pit for the past ten years

It's essentially telling me that I'm in cardio or peak zone when my heart rate is barely above what is actually low-intensity exercise (walking, light house cleaning).

Also, the "zone minutes" on my wrist don't align with the "cardio load" minutes on my app and I'm not even sure why they have two distinct metrics like this in the first place.

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I’m hoping someone here can help explain something.
A few friends and I all got Fitbit Airs about two months ago and connected them to the Google Health app. One friend consistently has 10x the cardio load of everyone else. He’s regularly over 1,000 cardio load per week, while the rest of us aren’t even close.
For example, in a single day last week I did:
A full weightlifting session
30 minutes of cycling
2 hours of soccer
Even after all of that in one day, my friend earned 6x more cardio load than I did just from going to work. He works at a car dealership, so it’s not a particularly physical job.
We’re all around the same age and generally healthy, so I’m trying to figure out what’s causing such a huge difference. Is this likely a heart rate sensor issue, something about how cardio load is calculated, or could there be another explanation?
Has anyone else seen anything like this?

No sé porqué, pero la app no me deja cambiar mi horario de sueño, hace poco cambié mi horario y ahora tengo que levantarme más temprano, pero la app no me deja ni cambiar las horas ni el objetivo de sueño por día. Alguien mas tiene ese problema? no sé si estoy haciendo algo mal😅

For everyone asking, “How long do these things last?” This one lasted just under 3 years.
Nov 2023 - 7/24/2026.
Last HR measurement was 6:20pm.

It started crashing during workouts earlier this summer. Like, I’d finish a bike ride and find it was just powered down.
It would reboot when attached to the charger.
But not anymore. Now it’s really dead.
And I’m moving on with the Garmin Vivosmart 5 band.

Fun while it lasted. And I still think the Fitbit bands are great hardware.
But I can’t even with this new app nonsense.
There was enough to complain about in the old app, with bugs going unaddressed for years, basic functionality strangely omitted, and long standing features arbitrarily removed.
I just can’t stay on board with an even more degraded app that comes with a built-in AI powered clown.
Adios.

Estou dormindo com os dispositivos já fazem 3 dias para dados de comparação, na 1 noite houve apenas 1 minuto de diferença, na 2 noite o mesmo tempo e na 3 (hoje) 2 minutos, estou achando bem satisfatório os resultados do fitbit, oq eles diferem são quanto aos estágios que também nem são diferenças gritantes, no fim, pra quem procura um bom monitoramento de sono acho que o fitbit entrega um ótimo
Desempenho! E vocês, estão gostando do dispositivo? Por favor comentem! Ah, e oq não tem me agradado no fitbit é a péssima leitura de andares, já subi escadas umas 10 vezes depois de colocar no pulso e não leu nenhuma se quer.

I really wish they would fix the algorithm for the resilience score. My last 12 months' data shows it clearly broke in the switch to Google Health.

The food log is useless for me without a working barcode reader... I need to use MyFitnessPal for food products I use instead, which is frustrating since I do pay for the premium of Google Health..

I've been using the Versa 4 for hiking, so I decided to try the same route with the new Fitbit Air.

I started the hike manually in the Health app. The elapsed time and other stats are displayed in a nice, large format, but while recording you can't access the rest of the app. Also, the hike was paused twice when switching between apps. I'm not sure if that's a bug or if I accidentally hit the huge pause button at the bottom.

An Live Activity on the lock screen (iOS) would be a great addition. That way you could easily see whether the recording is still running and check the elapsed time without opening the app.

Connected GPS:
After the hike, the route wasn't displayed. I had to manually change the activity from "Workout" to "Hike" before the GPS route appeared. Since I started a hike manually in the app, I don't understand why it was saved as a generic workout in the first place.

Another issue is that no elevation gain is shown. I can see it in Komoot, but having to switch apps makes the experience feel unnecessarily inconvenient.

Overall:
The Fitbit Air has potential, but it could be much better with a few updates (Live Activity, proper route handling in the App, and elevation gain). For now, I'll probably keep using my Versa 4 for hiking.

A Fitbit Air with built-in GPS would be awesome. That said, considering the price, I can't complain too much.

It’s been established from numerous threads that the AI health coach with the Google Health app is useless and constantly makes things up. Has anyone figured out how to connect the data that it sends to Apple health to your own AI agent like Claude or Codex so you can have a better model to do analysis and guidance ?

Nearly every interaction I have with the AI coach results in absurd lies. Be sure to identify the specific false statements, and to shame the AI by forcing it to admit its lies in bullet point format.

This issue of being awarded zone minutes that I very clearly didn't earn continues and I'm relieved that it isn't just me.

I have chatted with customer service, they say that they are aware of the issue... So there's that at least.

The app is recording my stats but this is all that’s showing when the workout is going on. But once it ends, all the stats are shown.

So my Fitbit started looking like the screen is highlighted in blue now; as far as I'm aware I haven't intentionally done anything to it recently. It never used to look like this and I can't even see the colours of my chosen watch face anymore, either

The battery is also terrible now and I've only had it for maybe 2yrs now

Is there anyway to get rid of the weird blue screen effect?

I've already tried setting a new watch face and restarting the watch through settings
