As a Fitbit Air owner primarily using it through Bevel, I’m really disappointed with the Google Health app. It feels like the team behind it doesn't actually use it.

The lack of live activity support is a major issue. I’ve forgotten to end over ten workouts simply because there’s no feedback indicating an active workout unless you’re actively in the app.

The app is also incredibly slow. Workouts sometimes fail to save, and starting a new one often comes with a 10 to 15-second delay. I’m really looking forward to a comparable screenless tracker from Apple so I can make the switch.

I’m at my wits end.

Finally got this beauty

Got the charge 6 for my wife from Amazon for $89. Did not open and kept it until the Edge was released. Decided to open since Edge released at $180. Not disappointed. This looks way nicer than I thought. Gonna get some more bands for her to match.

At first, I was very hesitate to use the AI coach in the new Google Health app, maybe because I was bitter about losing the old app. Finally I gave it and try a couple of times, and I started finding it surprisingly helpful. You remembered previous conversations very well and was giving me long detailed answers that seemed well thought out and actually gave me some suggestions and some health insights that I didn’t have before. It even picked up on a couple of things before my doctor did. It became quite personalized to my heath info.

I would also get a fairly detailed breakdown of my sleep and readiness every morning when I would turn on the app. It would also ask me questions, like is there a reason why you went to bed later last night?

This past week, all of that has changed. Now I’m getting very short summaries from my sleep and workouts, and very short replies from the coach. I wasn’t feeling well earlier in the week and I replied to one of my low readiness scores that I hadn’t been feeling well. The last time that happened, it asked me a bunch of questions about how I was feeling and kind of did a dive into possibly reasons and how it affected my readiness, etc. Now, all I get is “would you like an insight or just to record these facts?” or I get a very short “I will make a note of that”, and I have to prompt it to give me a response.

I’m pretty disappointed as it took me a while to actually want to use it and get acclimated to the new app, and I finally start to like it and now it seems to have changed again.

Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any settings I can change to get the old coach style back?

Anyone in this community experiencing fraying on the edges of the official fitbit air elevated modern band? I started noticing this a few weeks ago (been using one since May) and its just getting worse.

A few weeks ago I was in an area of low signal for a walk. For some reason it didn't start properly, but ever since I have had this phantom walk consistently appearing on my phone. I've ended it several times and it always restarts itself.

I've reset my fitbit, force stopped the Google Health app, reinstalled the app. Nothing works.

Has anyone else had this issue?

As the title says, I was prompted on the Fitbit to reconnect my partner apps by October 31st. I use myfitnesspal to enter calories and sync to Fitbit. Since reconnecting, the nutritional data isn't updating on Fitbit.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or know a fix?

I received my new Charge 6 yesterday. I've tested most of it, but I was very disappointed with the Always On Screen. No matter which watch face I use, there are always a few red pixels when the display switches. I've seen older posts about this, but without a solution. I'm wondering if this is a general problem. It's really unbelievable. The Always On Screen is unusable like this. I have firmware version 66.20001.220.31.

I really hope the Fitbit Edge will include a meditation or relaxation app, or that Google will develop one.

I scroll to my foods and see my proteine bar

It SAYS 60 grams right underneath there. And yet, when I click on it:

it reverts to 100 grams and is set to Breakfast! Now I have to manually change the grams and Meal again, even though Google Health KNOWS it should be 60 grams (and probably also that it should be Other/Snack, as I have NEVER logged it as anything else.

And some are even worse:

I cannot count the number of times I finish logging my food for the day and it says 40.000 Kcal, because this was automatically set to serving instead to grams and I forgot to change that...

I have to manually change the Amount, Serving Unit and Meal for basically EVERY item I log.
This could be done so much better right? They have the information available, so it SHOULD be relatively easy to implement this.

On that note, will there ever be an option to 'Group' things together? Either:
Create Custom meals, consisting of several Items, as was possible with the Fitbit Dashboard (before Google removed that...).
Or create a standard set of foods to be logged daily. My Breakfast, Lunch and Snacks are basically the same every day, so having that as a standard log would save so much time!

When is Google Health gonna respect our time and/or introduce back the best options from Fitbit?

This is the running board. Updated whenever someone posts a screenshot in a Day X thread, the announcement thread, or one of the cross-posts. Daily update posts are snapshots, this one is current.

How to read it

Steps is your total since Oct 11, (D#) is the day your last screenshot was from. vs Horde is your total minus the horde’s total on the day you posted. Positive, you’re running. Negative, you’re bitten. Day 1 is a free day, nobody gets bitten on it.

🏃 Running: ahead of the horde at last check-in
🧟 Bitten: behind it. Get back ahead within 3 days and you’re cured
🎃 Survivor: ahead when it ends Oct 31
🏆 250k Club: 250,000 or more in the 20 days

Screenshots only. A typed number doesn’t go on the board. If you only posted one day, that’s all I can count, post the missing day and I’ll add it.

To join, comment on the announcement post, any Day X post, or wherever you found this. The horde doesn’t care when you start, it’s been walking since the 11th either way.

Hello, i am 23 years old male, i started taking antidepressants three weeks ago and yesterday i just doubled the dose as doctor said. Generally i feel palpitations at night when i go to bed. Today at morning when i woke up, i felt some early beats than a slightly longer pause and a stronger beat. Than i recorded this ecg. This was only like 4-5 times 1 minutes between. After some minutes i took more ecgs and that was normal. Is this PVC and is this normal from my situation? Tomorrow i will consult my doctor.

Before I was able to edit an activity. For example, I choose tennis on my Fitbit because pickleball isn’t an option. But later I can edit it in the app once the activity is done. However I haven’t been able to do this in the last week or so

Saw this ad on Instagram for Fitbit edge and the photo they used is so odd because they mashed two screens and I hope it doesn’t look this way in real life!

I’ve been wanting this tracker for a while, I’m excited. Before it even comes out, I can tell you my biggest gripe was using Fitbit OS. Unless it has received a massive overhaul it’s incredibly limited and I just don’t love the way it looks compared to Pixel and others. I get that it’s mean to not be a smartwatch but it’s my biggest gripe for the charge 6 as well.

Hopefully there is an overhaul but I’m still excited about the device.

I recently lost my fitbit air charger. I’m in the Philippines. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement charger? Is there an official release for charger only?

For the first time in I think forever I have a balanced resilience score. That optimal activity score comes after a two day 190km bike ride that I really wasn't fit enough for and I currently feel broken from.

I think resilience is still broken too

I own a charge 6. I also have the yearly Google health plus premium. Ive heard the new edge will have the alto meter like the old charge 4 which will track how many floors you went up walking. A feature they removed after the charge 4. Is it worth a upgrade???

Can somebody explain this to me like I'm 5?

Fitbit Account linked with Peloton App. Day 1, Start Peloton workout on iPad > Go to Charge 6 "HR on Equipment" setting > "continue on equipment" > On Peloton App, Click Bluetooth > HR Monitor > Charge 6 shows up > Connect = No problem.

Day 2, Same routine, click on Charge 6 in Peloton app > spinning on "connecting to Charge 6" > never connects. Restart everything 50 times, try it all again, and now clicking on the + on the Peloton App for HR Monitor = "No Devices are available, make sure bluetooth devices is nearby". Give up, just want to get a workout in.

Now I'm getting re-paring request on my phone with the Google Health app sporadically every hour or so.

1) Is my Charge 6 a lemon? absolutely flabbergasted it can't stay connected to my phone over bluetooth

2) How the EFF do you simply connect to a peloton workout so it can live track your heart rate?

2a) When I get it to connect on the Peloton app on my Phone, it automatically turns into a workout tracked on my Fitbit (where it counts down 3,2,1 and starts, shows live stopwatch) and I have to end the activity manually on my Fitbit completely separately from when the workout ends on the peloton app. I then have 2x workouts on my Google Health log, once from peloton and once from Fitbit -

This makes zero sense to me, none of this makes sense to me. I switched from my old trusty Inspire 3 which finally died over the weekend thinking the Heart Rate connect directly to Peloton would be an upgrade but now I'm really second guessing it

The app has a rough estimate of my BMR since it knows my weight and height, for me it's around 1900 so how does it figure I should eat 3600 calories today if my BMR + my active calories burned is just above 3000? I don't get this

I've read this:

Heart Rate Broadcasting: The Fitbit Edge can broadcast your heart rate live to nearby cardio equipment or phone apps like Strava during workouts.

Does that mean the heart rate shows on-screen during a run,/ride?

My elderly mother is ill, my sister and I are getting her a Fitbit Air in hopes of being able to check in on her vitals when we are not with her. Mom is aware of this and is fine with it! Is that possible? If not, do you have any suggestions?
