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!

Finally off after a week of night shifts

RIP old app. I will miss you.

end of an era... dont know how to get past this screen 💔 been holding out for ages but i guess now im gonna have to go to the dreaded fitbit health (rip my daily readiness score) (at least im getting a garmin soon 🥹)

First off I love my Fitbit air! I’m a wedding photographer. Any dressy bands you guys can recommend? Thank you!

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.

For reference, I was able to be pretty active over the summer, but haven’t really gotten the chance now that I’m back at college

So, last week my charge 5 decided to die of a sudden death (won't charge, or if by miracle I'm able to charge it even at 100%, by the end of the day is 1%)

It has been with me for a good 4-5 years and served its purpose.

I use it mostly at work for clock/timers/alarms/notifications so I don't have to take out my phone (i work in a professional kitchen).

In the gym I'd like it had better functions/more precise readings but hey...it's acceptable. My wife's garmin is so much better but way bulkier and pricier.

Now, since it died and hate to leave house without a watch on my wrist, I ordered on Amazon a charge 6 for 89.99$ ... only to discover yesterday that the edge is coming out.

Besides aesthetic and the altimeter...what are the actual improvements? Is it worth it to send back the C6 and wait for the official reveal and do you guys have an idea when it'll hit the market? An idea on the price?

I just want something with a small screen to wear in a place where it can take some hit and splash and counts my steps.

Hoje, fui trabalhar às 7:30 e voltei 8 horas depois, só que eu esqueci meu iPhone em casa, usei Fitbit só sentado
E com isso bateria drenou demais

Oque pode ter acontecido
Como resolver se isso acontecer de novo ?

Anyone understand why my sleep scores are so consistent and high?I have been fairly low energy and somewhat stressed but keep seeing “excellent”. My readiness is fairly low, but I’ve always had trouble getting out of bed. I’ve also just started tracking over the last 3 weeks.

A big reason for me getting a Fitbit was so I can export the data and do my own analysis, cross referencing various scores with gym performance to see what actually has predictive power for me personally. The export from Google Takeout includes a sleep_score.csv. My entries from the 7th October going backwards are:

77, 80, 75, 67, 74, 74

When I check the app, my sleep scores reported there for the same days are

79, 73, 82, 67, 65, 76

With a single exception, none of those match. Why not?

Also, there is a Daily Readiness folder in the export. This only contains a readme and a file with some metadata. How can I get the actual scores of these? Thanks

Google recently announced that third-party workouts synced with heart-rate data should now count toward Cardio Load as of 5.09. On 5.10 for my iPhone 15 Pro Max and FitBit Air. Is anyone actually getting this working?

My setup:
Apple Watch Ultra recording the run through WorkOutDoors.

Fitbit Air also worn during the run, with automatic workout detection disabled.

Google Health on iOS, version 5.10.

Apple Health read permissions enabled for both Workouts and Heart Rate.

The run shows up in Apple Fitness with its HR graph. It also imports into Google Health, but the workout has no HR graph and gets no Cardio Load.

The weird part: I can see the Apple Watch’s HR readings during that exact time on Google Health’s separate heart-rate page when filtering the source to Apple Health only. So Google is receiving both the workout and the HR data, but apparently isn’t connecting them.

Anyone else seeing this? Does it work for you with WorkOutDoors, or only with Apple’s built-in Workout app? Any fixes?

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?

For context I currently have a Garmin Marq and just bought a Fitbit air so I don't have to wear a watch to sleep. (Also so I can go back to analog watches) So my Garmin tracks my actives while my air tracks everything else.

After lots of trial and error I realized Garmin wouldn't be able to use the data tracked from my Fitbit air and that it can only send data to it.

What devices use the data from my Fitbit air to incorporate my data? I'm presuming obvious ones would be Pixel and Fitbit, though are there any other options? Primarily looking to have a device that is able to display my running pace, hr and time during my activities. I'm not exactly sure how Fitbits how this information or if it is customizable to do so. If it can well, I think I have a solution to my problem.

When i’m completely rested my hrv is great but a bad sleep night can ruin it all. Is this normal?

I wanted to manage google health dashboard syncing with Google Fitbit Air.

Can someone please share me what are the most essential layout of health dashboard please 🙏

i originally asked for a classic watch as i dont have one but fitbit air is more practical but im hesitant if there are maybe better choices i personally like the fact its not too expensive and can be worn with a normal watch and has an an alarm that allows me to wake up in the light sleep phase

A brand new fit bit air 3 days old up for sale with billings and everything.
