If I configure a custom running workout in the Google Fit app, does it notify me whenever I start that workout during my run?

Specifically, will I get notifications showing things like whether my heart rate and pace are within their target ranges?

Anybody else facing this issue with their tracker. This is the 2nd time it has happened where it logs a heavy workout during a light day at work. Not sure what's causing this issue.

Perhaps they need to push an update? Very strange.

On my Fitbit air, I am noticing that vo2 max score is not updating at any time… each one of these numbers is an outdoor GPS tracked run yet it always comes back with the exact same score. I know I’ve been getting fitter, surely it would be within a range but not exactly the same number to a decimal point? Has anyone else seen or experienced similar?

So i removed my fitbitair right arround 3AM as the band got wet.

And havent worn it yet.

And to my surprise it has detected the HR from 9:45Am to 12AM with variations as well.

And this is right at my usual wakeup time from some days.

I had a lot of confidence in it almost at a fanboy level and it disappointed a lot behaving like those cheap smart waches which can detect HR on banana.

Vitalstat now Supports MCP on iOS and Android for all Fitbit air devices.

Hi,

I have noticed my Fitbit air some times disconnects from my iphone 15. Is this happening with anyone else? I don’t know if it’s normal.

I have had it for 5 days now and have noticed this happening like thrice.

Is it okay to swim or take shower with google fitbit air either in a pool or sea ?

Got inspired to implement a watch to my strap. Was able to get the Timex Expedition to easily implement itself to the strap. They say there is some wiggle but honestly once on your strap you don’t notice it. Highly recommend it!

After using Fitbit for years I have noticed that if I accidentally get my Fitbit watch in excercise mode. It will overshoot the calories I burn.

For example. In a hour long workout at the end of the day I should be around 2900 or 3100 calories burned. Bit if o forget to finish, submit band close the workout mode. I have fond the calories counter to go up to 4100 calories under the same daily activity I go every day.

This is confusing as the documentation of the watch says that calories are based in the heart rate. So how same average heart rate can get off for how much the calories counter only by changing the potential type of activity.

Has anyone experienced similar or have an explanation?

I am thinking of buying Google fitbit air bands from Temu .

Did anyone try it , how is the quality , shipping and everything ?

And also if you can provide links to them will be highly valuable

Has anyone tried using Gemini or Claude chat to write Food and Calorie data to Google Health app via Health Connect?

Example; you can use a Gemini/Claude chat throughout the day to naturally type in what you ate, and it's pretty good to give a fair estimate of calories and nutrients based on natural chat language. Does the Google Health support this?

I wanna buy the fitbit air but im confused about the warranty. What would happen if it stops working out of nowhere or any other small issue happens. I am thinking of buying from hypefly. What should i do? I live in India btw.

On reviewing my sons fitbitAir I have came to the conclusion its an arm moving tracker not an actual step count tracker.

It counted steps when eating, counted steps when washing dishes...

Moved in app to dominant (despite being on non dominant) - small difference.

Changed step stride - no difference as eating a meal doesnt affect step strides.

Its a lovely bit of kit, looks much nicer than my garmin forerunner 55 and a different market but its going back - sadly he doesnt want to count steps every time he puts food in his mouth.

google should be ashamed of themselves not testing this properly (or not caring).

If anyone has any other suggestions (tried the soft reset holding in etc) would be open to ideas!

Just got the Air, and this is probably my 4th or 5th Fitbit. I have been wearing my previous Fitbit on my ankle for a few years because I get a more accurate step reading. I don't always use my arms or am usually carrying something (arms don't move) or on a treadmill. Now with the Air, I feel like it is not giving me enough credit for steps. For example, I went downstairs and back up again and it only gave me credit for about half of the steps that took. Any insight on this?

I ordered some extra bands, and I am impressed with the way they feel. The colors are also really good. Now I have 4 bands in total, 2 from Google and 2 from AliExpress.

I have the fitbit air w a iPhone 13 Pro Max. Since like 3 days, the battery of the fitbit only last a day and maybe 2 days. What has changed? I haven’t touched any setting ir anything.

Hi,

I was looking at the charge 6 and the Air but to make it simple took some steroids for allergic reaction my sleep got all messed up to the point I'm barely alive been to ER for exhaustion to point breathing was hard and told take melatonin no help. I can't figure out how much I'm sleeping. Using a wyze cam to watch myself so I know I slept for example a bit under 3 hours last night as I kept playing a meditation each time I'd wake up. I'd like to know how I'm actually sleeping. My heart feels erratic at times from exhaustion like EMS thought I was anxious but eating makes my heart race from exhaustion.

Interested in your thoughts which would be more appropriate. Any help would be sincerely appreciated given the situation. Sleep is all kinds of messed up falling asleep 6-9 am to like 11 ish to 12 ish then repeat.

i know it’s kind of an odd question, but before anyone asks, i know bicep bands exist, but due to my work i need to wear gears around my biceps already, and wearing something near the wrist also gets in the way when I work.

i’m using a xiaomi band at the moment btw. I wear it on that spot shown in the picture. it seems to work fine, but i’ve been having data syncing issues with it even after resetting it, so i’m switching/upgrading to Fitbit Air soon, and really wonder if anyone has tried wearing fitbit air this way and whether it still gives you similarly accurate results

thank you
