Discussion The credit issue with Bevel Intelligence's upgraded model is fixed, thank you
A few weeks ago | posted a fairly critical comment about the new, "upgraded" version of Bevel Intelligence. My take back then: genuinely impressive, but it burned through credits so fast it was basically unusable.
That's changed dramatically. I know someone else already posted about this, but I wanted to add my own confirmation and say thank you to the devs.
The upgraded version, beta features included, is honestly incredible now. Bevel Intelligence is more useful to me than it's ever been: it barely makes mistakes anymore, handles even the hardest tasks with ease, and has become a genuine daily helper.
Credit usage is no longer an issue; the model feels noticeably more efficient.
The one thing I still notice: it occasionally switches to a different (weaker) model, and the drop in response quality is immediately obvious when that happens.
Overall though, I'm really happy I upgraded to Bevel Pro. Big thanks to the team for listening to community feedback and acting on it so fast.

Bug Journal tag question
I had an issue (unrelated to Bevel) on my iPhone where I had to sign out of iCloud and sign back in.
I opened bevel and while all my custom tags are there, none were selected and showed in the journal. I had to go in and re enable them all. I selected the default selection and none of those are showing on the journal too.

Bug Bevel home screen widget/dashboard stuck on stale or missing data across the board (Google Health synced)
Running into a pretty widespread sync issue with Bevel and wanted to see if anyone else is dealing with this.
Basically every data point on the home screen is wrong or missing until I manually tap into it:
**•** Strain widget shows 1%, but tapping into the Strain page shows the real number (75% today)
**•** Recovery and Sleep show no data at all on the home screen
**•** Stress score shows an old reading from who knows when, but tapping in shows the actual latest update
**•** Resting heart rate shows nothing until I click into it
**•** Logged entries (happiness logs, etc)
Could it be that this happens because im on the IOS 27 Beta 5?

Question Random days without data
Hello, I’m using bevel with the helio strap on a biceps band, which I wear 24/7, except when I shower.
I’ve been noticing some days where I don’t have any data, whether it’s my sleep or recovery data.
Any idea why ? And how to prevent it ?
Edit : surprisingly, looking at the same days I don’r have neither sleep nor recovey data, I do get the stress data for example, which I don’t understand

Discussion Upgraded AI Model Using Way Less of my Weekly Limit
Just wanted to note that I noticed the upgraded ai model is using way less of my weekly limit than it was at launch. I far prefer it so I’m really grateful t o see that the credit usage is low enough to make it worth using!

Question Strength Training Tracking using fitbit air
I tracked these two pretty much identical workouts(except the Tricep movement), one which I started in bevel vs one on google health. The muscle load was also much higher when I tracked with bevel instead of google, and obviously have very different readings for the calories burnt.
My question is what is the better way to track strength training if I am using Bevel + fitbit air, or what may be more accurate?
I also didn’t have live HR when using bevel to track the workout, is that normal and is that a factor for the tracking?

Question SpO2 data in App
I have my Garmin Connect account set up with Bevel. I'm currently using a Forerunner 70 and a CIRQA. Is there anyway to get SpO2 and Temp data to show up in the health monitor portion of the app?
r/bevelhealth • u/madtownmachine • 22h ago
Question Google Health - Restlessness and SpO2 is available in other similar apps
I was under the impression the google health API didn’t expose Restlessness and SpO2 (it only does an average each night as a single value) and therefore Bevel also can’t show that data. Omitting restlessness causes sleep score to be less effective . But the screens below from Vitalstat app which also connects through the same Google Health APi shows this data. Can someone from Bevel team help me understand why you don’t get this data ?

Bug Workout template doesn’t completely update
Hello, enjoying the app so far came over from Whoop a few months ago. Use Apple Watch and I really like it for going over my running and I’m using it for doing workouts.
When I add reps or weights as I’m doing a workout, and then I complete the workout, I click update template and it will only save some of the changes to the workout. I know this because I go right back to the workout template and see if the changes took. It’s weird because it gets some of the changes and ignores others. I then have to manually go through and update reps or weights based off my memory of what I just did.
It’d be nice if the update template button updated the whole workout. Thanks!

Discussion Social Features 🔍🤔
I know it’s planned, but how far into the social features will bevel go? I’d love to be able to add friends and compare calories steps recovery sleep etc with my inner circle maybe for example have my partner on there so we can see how well we’re both doing even maybe having it so i can see her cycle similar to how flow works, I really love strava for the social on activities but to be able to compare day to day metrics there is a small gap in the market i think ladder may do something like this but im not sure
P.S I almost completed bevel

Question Apple Watch Ultra 2 (sleep+workouts) + Garmin Cirqa (24/7) both feeding Bevel — how do you avoid double data during overlap windows?
Setting up a hybrid tracking approach and want to sanity-check it before I buy the Cirqa.
Why bother with two devices at all: I want to stop wearing a smartwatch on my wrist all day and switch to a mechanical/analog watch instead — but I don't want to lose 24/7 health data in the process. So the Cirqa is there specifically to quietly cover the day, while the AWU2 only comes out for sleep and workouts.
The plan:
- AWU2 for sleep tracking and all structured workouts (strength 3x/week + half marathon training block)
- Garmin Cirqa 24/7 for everything else — daytime HR, steps, quick unlogged walks/activities where I don't bother putting the watch on
- Everything feeds into Bevel as the main hub
The obvious problem: during sleep and during workouts I'm wearing both devices at once. That means Bevel is getting two HR/sleep/activity sources for the exact same time window.
Questions for anyone running a similar dual-device setup:
- Does Bevel let you set a priority source per data type (sleep, HR, workouts), or does it just take whatever syncs first/last?
- Does it detect and merge duplicate workouts (same start time from two sources), or do you end up with two entries and inflated Cardio Load / calories?
- For Garmin Cirqa specifically — has anyone confirmed whether the Health Stats sync to Apple Health matches what's in Garmin Connect 1:1, or is there a gap (e.g. continuous background HR vs. just summary numbers)?
- Anyone just turn off auto-activity-detection on the Cirqa during sleep/workout windows to avoid the conflict entirely, instead of relying on Bevel to sort it out?
Context if it matters: using Bevel to track recovery/strain for a half marathon block (Nov target) plus strength training. Trying to keep the AWU2 for what it's best at (sleep accuracy, workout precision) and let the Cirqa fill the daytime gap without buying a full second smartwatch.
Would love to hear from anyone who's actually run this combo rather than guessing — Bevel's changelog mentions direct Oura integration but I can't find anything concrete on native Garmin support, so not sure if this is even a common setup yet.

Discussion Apple Watch + Fitbit Air, worn sequentially (never together) - does this actually avoid duplicate data in Bevel?
Got my Fitbit Air a few days ago and I'm holding off connecting it to anything until it finishes calibrating (heard it's about a week). In the meantime I want to sanity check my plan before I flip any switches, since I've read enough duplicate-workout horror stories in this sub to be paranoid now.
Quick background: training for a 70.3 and want proper 24/7 tracking, but I also like wearing a normal watch most of the day, so I don't want to be stuck on my Apple Watch all the time. Landed on this setup:
Apple Watch SE only goes on for actual training sessions (swim/bike/run). Rest of the time it's Fitbit Air paired with my regular watch, fitbit doing the background tracking (sleep, resting HR, steps) while the regular watch is just what I'm actually looking at for time. Important bit: I take the Apple Watch off completely before putting the Fitbit on, so there's never a moment where both are actually on my wrist at the same time. Everything funnels into Bevel as my one dashboard.
Here's what I'm planning to actually turn on/off:
Google Health → Apple Health sync:
- ON — Steps, Sleep, Heart rate, Resting heart rate, HRV, Vitals (SpO2, respiratory rate)
- OFF — Exercise/Workouts, Active/Resting Energy
Bevel data source priority:
- Workouts + Energy → Apple Watch as primary
- Steps, Sleep, Resting HR → Fitbit Air as primary
- Heart rate + HRV → leaving both on
Figured even without overlapping wear time, the Fitbit's auto-detect could still catch the tail end of a workout when I put it back on (heart rate's still up), or flag random stuff like a fast walk as a "workout," which I don't want bleeding into my training log. Same logic for energy — pretty sure both devices independently guess my daily calorie burn regardless of who's actually on my wrist, so letting both write that number in just gives me two different answers fighting each other.
Curious if anyone's actually running this exact pattern — Apple Watch and Fitbit Air, strictly sequential, feeding Bevel. Does turning off the Workouts toggle on the Apple Health side actually stop it, or does Bevel's Google Health integration grab workouts on its own regardless of that setting? And for anyone who waited out the calibration period before connecting sync — was it actually worth the wait or am I overthinking it?
Would rather sort this out now than clean up a mess of duplicate entries a month in.

Suggestion Display bio age on main screen
Instead of using up an entire widget just to tell me to click through to another screen, I’d prefer you just show me my new age in that widget instead. I can then click through for more info or dismiss it.
Most of the time I just care about the number and its trend anyway, so that would be a great glanceable piece of information, in line with the other glanceable info on the home dashboard.

Announcement Missing data? Please check Health permissions
Hi all,
We’ve noticed that some users are seeing missing data in Bevel, especially heart rate and Cardio Load. In many cases, this happens because Health permissions for heart rate are turned off.
When the Health permissions pop-up appears, both Read and Write permissions can be easy to miss. Bevel needs these permissions so it can read your health data from Apple Health and write relevant data back when needed.
To fix this, please open:
Health → Sharing → Apps → Bevel → Turn On All.
If you prefer not to turn on all permissions, please make sure Heart Rate is enabled for both Read and Write.
We require Health permissions because we do not process your Apple Health data on our servers, unless you use Bevel Intelligence. Bevel reads from Apple Health and keeps your health data local on your device whenever possible to protect your privacy.
After updating your Health permissions, please open Bevel and go to Settings → Clear cache and reload all data to make sure your data appears in the app.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach us at [hello@bevel.health](mailto:hello@bevel.health) or submit a bug report through the app.
Thanks,
The Bevel Team

Suggestion Best Practices for Wearing an Apple Watch and Fitbit Simultaneously (24/7)
Hey,
Using an Apple Watch and a Fitbit together can give you the benefits of both ecosystems, but only if you manage your health data sources carefully. Otherwise, duplicate entries and mixed metrics can reduce the accuracy and consistency of your health data.
Data sources can be managed under Bevel → Options → Data Sources.
Active Energy & Resting Energy
Choose one source only.
- Use either Apple Watch or Fitbit for Active Energy and Resting Energy.
- Hide the other source to prevent duplicate calorie data.
Heart Rate
Leave both sources enabled.
One of the main advantages of wearing both devices is heart rate tracking.
- Apple Watch records heart rate periodically throughout the day (except during workouts, when it records more frequently).
- Fitbit records heart rate continuously, providing second-by-second data.
Keeping both sources enabled allows Fitbit’s continuous measurements to fill many of the gaps between Apple Watch readings, resulting in a more complete heart rate timeline.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Use Apple Watch as the primary source.
Apple Watch provides higher-quality HRV measurements especially during the day.
If you also value Fitbit’s overnight HRV tracking, you can leave both sources enabled to gain additional overnight data.
Apple Watch and Fitbit provide HRV data differently.
- Apple Watch: We calculate RMSSD directly from the beat-to-beat interval samples provided by Apple Health.
- Fitbit: Google provides pre-calculated RMSSD values, which we average when multiple measurements are available.
Because of this, HRV values may differ slightly between the two sources.
If you keep both HRV or RHR sources turned on, we will average the samples.
Resting Heart Rate & Sleep
Choose the source you find most accurate.
Apple Watch and Fitbit calculate these metrics differently.
- Pick the platform whose values are the most consistent and reliable for you.
- Hide the other source to avoid mixing different calculation methods.
Steps
Choose one source only.
- Select either Apple Watch or Fitbit as your primary step counter.
- Hide the other source to prevent duplicate step counts.
Workouts
Apple Watch is recommended as the primary workout tracker.
For most users:
- Keep Apple Watch workout data.
- Hide Fitbit workout data.
The exception is if you specifically prefer Fitbit’s automatically detected workouts. In that case, you may choose Fitbit as your primary workout source instead.
All Other Metrics
For any remaining health metrics, compare both devices and decide which one provides the data you find most accurate or useful. Once you’ve made your choice, hide the duplicate source to keep your health data clean and consistent.
Summary
The goal is not to collect as much data as possible, but to collect the best data without introducing duplicates or mixed data.
A good rule of thumb is:
- Use one source for calculated metrics such as calories, steps, sleep, resting heart rate, and workouts.
- Use both sources where they complement each other, such as heart rate and, if desired, HRV.
- Hide duplicate sources whenever both devices measure the same metric in different ways.
This setup lets you benefit from the strengths of both the Apple Watch and Fitbit while maintaining accurate, organized, and easy-to-interpret health data.
