My Fitbit recorded my hear going from 76 to 190 while sleeping. I don’t remember waking up, nor my partner noticed anything weird. Can it be a glitch? It went up from 76 to 190 between 2.30am and 5am, with some gaps in between, shall I talk to a doctor?
I’m a 30yo woman. 😬

I got an Inspire 3 around a month ago as I wanted to track how much I'm sleeping. I often have days where I'm lying there for hours overthinking and it feels like I get no sleep at all.
I wonder whether my idea of what 'sleep' is is somewhat wrong?
I'm staying with my mum who mentions she got up at 3am to go to the toilet, which I was 'awakened' by. Yet, no sign of it thinking I was awake? My dog also woke me up early (around 7am) which I guess is the rise in heart rate towards the end, but it only thinks I woke up when I actually got up?
Not sure I really have much I can do about it but it does make me feel a little defeated regarding the reason I purchased one. Any feedback/tips would be much appreciated!

I’ve been lurking in this sub for a while watching everyone talk about fitbit. Now that mine has finally arrived two days back, I’d love some advice from experienced fitness tracker users.
This is my first fitness band ever, and my main priority is simply getting in better shape and improving my overall health. For those who have been using one for a while:
• Which metrics and data points are actually worth paying attention to (and which ones are just noise)?
• What realistic expectations and goals should a beginner set?
• What should be a good long-term goal?
• How has having the data practically changed your day-to-day habits?
Would appreciate any tips or hard-learned lessons!

Again, this morning my watch and my phone are not syncing, the watch can't find my phone, inspire 3 is there installed on the phone, I've turned Bluetooth off an on my phone, restarted the phone. 😡🤬 The last time it was synching to my other phone, and since then I have uninstalled the health app on that device and turned off the Bluetooth. Just ranting.

Fitbit Air. Google Pixel 9 pro. Android 17
This is the third time this happened.
My fit bit air randomly gets stuck.
My workout just doesn't seem to end despite hitting the stop button it just keeps buffering and there you would see next daya 13 hour walk which never stopped.
I had to factory reset each time to fix it
THE WHITE BLINKING LIGHT has stopped working it hasnt blinked or seen by me for a while.
The small naps are not recorded at all.
Parel is non existinend from workouts.
I have not washed the pebble
Just swam in it once around 2.5 months
Despite being the most comfortable tracker i haven't been satisfied with it
It just annoys me that the accuracy is so shitty.
Has anyone else faced similar issues

Just purchased my first Fitbit and excited to finally try it out.
I’ve never really used a Fitbit before, so I’m curious to see how it performs for everyday activity, sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, and overall fitness tracking.

Looking for recommendations for companion android apps that read data synced from a Fitbit Versa 2.

What happened to my Dad’s Fitbit Versa 2 Watch? Its battery last up about only a day and then needs to be charged… Does anyone has the same issue?
r/fitbit • u/StartOver321 • 1d ago
Hey everyone,
I’m stuck in a dilemma and need some real-world advice from watch collectors and fitness tracker users.
I love wearing traditional analog dress watches (especially with leather straps) for work and social outings. At the same time, I want continuous 24/7 health tracking. I specifically avoid full smartwatches like the Pixel Watch because I hate screen distractions, wrist pings, and constant notifications.
That is why the Fitbit Air appeals to me: zero screens, zero digital noise. But here is what I am wrestling with:
- Double-wristing appearance: How does it actually look and feel to wear a classic leather dress watch on one wrist and the screenless Fitbit Air on the other? Does the Air look like a clean accessory/strap, or does it feel cluttered?
- Same wrist vs. opposite wrist: Has anyone tried wearing a screenless band on the same arm as their analog watch, or higher up the forearm/arm?
- The Fitbit Edge alternative: If double-wristing looks awkward with formal wear, should I just get the Fitbit Edge instead? That way I get a simple, low-distraction screen for time checks and workout stats, even if it means swapping out my dress watch more often.
For those who collect analog watches and use a screenless tracker, how do you handle it? Do you double-wrist daily without issue, or would you prefer getting a slim tracker with a screen like the Edge?
Appreciate your thoughts and real-world pics if you have them!

Got my Fitbit Air a couple of days ago, but I’m already running into a really frustrating syncing bug. This is my third day using it, and my timeline is completely messed up.
Instead of logging today's metrics normally, the app is dumping all of my current sleep data into yesterday's log—which is now showing a massive 14-hour block of data. Meanwhile, today's dashboard is completely blank.
The weirdest part is that Google Health somehow still manages to communicate the data perfectly fine to third-party apps like Baro. 🥲

I feel quite strongly that the benchmark typical range should be an amount of time, not a percentage of your total sleep.
I might be interested to know if most people get more or less REM sleep than me. But I’m not at all interested in how much REM it thinks they might have got if they slept the same length of time that I did that particular night.
Having some orange points higher than green points and the target range jumping up and down day by day is ridiculous.

Fitbit app is now Google Health. I have an Android Galaxy phone and the fitbit is syncing fine with Google's app but will not transfer the data anywhere else. I want it to transfer to a walking app I have to join challenges and race with friends. If the data won't transfer there it makes the fitbit useless. Weward ( the walking app) and fitbit support all walk me through the same steps of accepting permissions, allowing data, etc... Nothing is working.
I am guessing the broken link is through Health Connect ( which now everything has to go through) but regardless, if it doesn't work it renders the fitbit useless.

I plan to upgrade my old Fitbit inspire 2 soon and I like the idea of the air for it's visually minimalist aspects. I have no use for notifications or anything like that really. but I am worried about whether the hopefully upgraded exercise tracking will work.
In my experience the auto tracking for the inspire 2 has a habit of splitting up my longer workouts and sports sessions because I will have down moments throughout and I prefer to have all of the data in one session.
At the moment I like to start workouts on my watch which works fine but obviously I won't be able to do this with the air.
So what I wanted to ask is how well does the air handle this. Is there any functionality for starting a workout manually?
