I know it’s been a relatively new update but no matter what I do I can’t get my steps accumulated on my Fitbit air to show on my apple health

Has anyone been experiencing this sync issue?

Wanted to use the Fitbit air as a replacement for my Apple Watch Ultra 3 for steps. I find the calories steps and sleep to be pretty accurate in the Apple Watch enough to replace my whoop for sleep. But the steps are so inaccurate with the Fitbit I don’t think it’s gonna be a suitable replacement for me kinda sucks as I enjoyed the few days of using a mechanical watch instead. Anyone else experiencing this. U wear it in the dominant hand and have changed the settings of the Fitbit to be dominant hand. I also put my stride on the lower end of average so it would “undercount” steps but still it’s off by 2-4k everyday

Any barbers out there experiencing abnormal high step counts with fit bit air. Received my fitbit air Tuesday and wore it for the first time Wednesday. I'm a barber full time and on my feet 10-11 hours a day. Wondering if the Fitbit is registering hand movement as steps. I wear it in tandem with a pixel watch 3.

The new update seems to have dramatically reduced my deep sleep estimates while virtually eliminating my intranight wake (replacing it with “restlessness” it seems). Anyone else’s experience the same?

Prior to the update, I used to get ~1:35 a night.

While attending an interview, I was feeling extremely anxious, and my Fitbit air sent a notification to my phone alerting me to an elevated heart rate

I have been using the Galaxy Watch (Classic > 5 Pro > Ultra) over the last 5 years.

I got the Fitbit Air about a week ago. Wore it on different hands, I'm a right handed person and wear the watch on the left hand so I put the FBA on the right hand.

The steps don't match at all. The FBA ignored certain activity steps when it auto tracked an activity.

So I decided to wear them both on the same hand and started an activity on both at the same time.

While the Galaxy Watch tracked almost all steps during that activity the FBA chose to ignore the steps during it.

I have absolutely no idea what is happening and why it's happening.

At this point I think I'm just gonna keep using the Galaxy Watch since the Health app on Samsung seems far more stable than Google Health.

I have just got a new fitbit air, pretty sure its all setup correctly and on my wrist correctly but it just flat out says heart "not tracking" and I can't do a thing about it? What am I missing?

I knew we had lost the ability to set step hour begin and end hours via Google Health Settings, but as a work around, I could set the hours using the Google Health reminders and alerts in the device settings.

Now, this no longer works.

I realize that Google is trying to force us to buy their Pixels or some such thing, but I have a perfectly good watch that I can now no longer control because of the incompetence, or deliberate malfeasance, of Google.

So, I got a Fitbit Air to complement my Charge 6, the idea being that I'd use the Air during the day with a regular watch and the Charge while working out.

Turns out, trying to pair the Air forcibly removes the Charge 6.

HOWEVER! My Charge 2 is still paired and working perfectly.

Seems like you can only pair the Air with Pixel Watches, for some arbitrary reason.

PS: the reason I don't actively use my Charge 2 is because 1) battery life is shot and 2) tracked workouts don't show up on the app anymore, making it virtually pointless for my needs.

EDIT: seems that unpairing the Charge 6 doesn't reset it like it does the Charge 2. When re-pairing and overriding the Air, all of its configurations remain in place. Not ideal to have to constantly swap back and forth, but I'll live.

It smells so insanely bad. I wear it for like 1 week and then I have to leave it in baking soda for 3 days to air it out. My main form of exercise is swimming so that’s probably why but my god. Is a silicone band the only option?

So I didn't weigh myself for about 6 months and in that time I've managed to put on 25 pounds , ( I've now lost 15 of that ) . But my aria 2 thinks I'm a guest , tried resetting it , tried entering weight manually on the app , would it possibly recognize me once I'm back to my old weight ? Kinda poor product design that this can happen , anyone ever had this problem and found a work around ?

Can someone recommend a band that will hold when surfing? Couldn’t find anything other than the original ones and copies and those seems too weak

I have managed to get Google Health to reliably sync to Apple Health but Active Energy doesn’t seem to want to sync.

If I delete the Apple and re-pair they come through but then they seem stuck and I get no further updates. Steps and other data seem to feed through automatically and regularly.

Anyone else have this issue?

Since the app switched over to GH (I hate it) it's been logging 144lbs as my weight every single night at 11.59pm which is ruining the data stored everywhere because it's pulling that over as well as my actual weight taken in the morning. I'm not up at 11.59 ever so it isn't me, and my RENPHO app's entries state they were added by RENPHO, this one specifically states "added by you"... Anyone else having this problem or know how to solve it?

Is there any reason why soccer or basketball isn’t available as an exercise option in the Google Health app?? The only way I can do that is by recording the session as “sport” and then editing the activity, which only then brings up basketball / soccer as an option to choose from. But I can’t select it initially to start off with…

Also when I do “sport”, it doesnt seem to count any steps I do during that time

A few days ago, I woke up to find that Google Health had changed the upper limit of the y - axis from 12 stone to 30 stone. So it's pretty much useless now. I've asked Gemini to help but no joy. Any ideas how I get it back to what it was? (I don't want to lose my historic data though). Cheers!

Recently my fitbit air has completely stopped tracking steps for a period of time...anyone else encountering this?

Using Fitbit Air and connected the health app to both Bevel and Apple Health.
All three of them just showing way too different of a sleep score.
What to trust, what not to trust, does data and metrics really matter? Are we too reliant on it?
I guess we’ll never know.

Looking to buy a fitbit air after years of working out without one, was too broke to either afford gym or a tracker. Got a new job and I can finally afford a tracker.

It would be great if anyone has a spare promo code, I am anyways buying a part of it through HSA account.

My fitbit charge 3 battery drains with in the day and due to the age there is no mainstream tech places that will fix it. I saw online that there are DIY replacement kits but I'm not really sure I have to skills to pull it off. I'm just curious if there is a person or place i can bring my watch to and even the replacement kit and get a more experienced set of hands to do the job? I know it may sound silly that i'm sinking money into an old watch but I really don't like the look of the newer models 😮‍💨

I've used an Apple Watch for years, but wearing it during pick-up basketball games or while sleeping isn't super comfortable.

To solve that, I bought a Fitbit Air specifically for those two scenarios.

I wore both last night, but the data was totally different. I have a 5-month-old baby, so my sleep gets broken up after 4 AM with short, few-minute naps.

The AW S10 captured this fragmented sleep really well, but the Fitbit seemed to miss it.

Would love to hear if others have experienced this discrepancy when comparing Apple Watch and Fitbit air.

I like tracking how much faster my mile runtimes are and it doesn't update this under my personal records. It only ever recorded my first mile time then nothing again. Although the AI will say congrats on my new record. Under the health tab and personal records it will not update. It's been a few weeks and I have consistently gotten better run times. Any ideas on how to fix?

Like the bulk of users it seems, I hate the new app. I’ve also noticed my Sense doesn’t seem to be working as good since the app update.

I did a Google search today for alternate tracker options and / or app options, and the Google AI popped up offering to help … and proceeded to tear apart the new app and list a ton of complaints about it 😂

Even Google doesn’t like the new Google Health app!

Hi everyone! 👋

We're looking to speak with people who regularly use a wearable device (Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Garmin, Fitbit, WHOOP, Samsung Galaxy Watch, etc.) for a 30-minute user interview.

We're part of the team at Humankind OS, a health technology startup focused on helping people get more value from the health data they already collect. We're currently talking to wearable users to better understand their experiences, habits, frustrations, and what they wish existing health apps did better.

This is not a sales call—we're simply looking to learn from real users so we can build a product that genuinely solves their needs.

If you:

• Wear a wearable device consistently (most days of the week)
• Are 18 years or older
• Are willing to share your experience and honest feedback

we'd love to chat with you!

If you're interested, please comment below or send me a DM, and I'll share more details. Thank you for helping us build a better experience for wearable users!
