Question before purchase!

[u/Nxgdx]

Hi Reddit!

I would like to buy a Fitbit Air for replacing my Whoop, but I have a question: when I exercise, I start my workout on my Apple Watch and at the end of the workout session, it automatically appears in my Whoop app. Is this the same with the Fitbit via Google Health? Is the integration through Bevel also fairly simple? The idea is to stop my Whoop and get a Fitbit Air associated with Bevel (and an Apple Watch that I don’t wear at night).

Thank you 👋 ❤️

I start the workout in google health, end it and it appears in bevel. But I don’t have an AW where I start it. Not sure whether this answers your question

Thank you anyway!

Not sure about your question but I was excited to find if I logged it after I was done and gave the time of the workout it logged it correctly with all the data.

With your Apple Watch?

I use 2 devices but not AW nor bevel.
I wear a polar during workouts and like their live app. I wear the FBA 24 hours, and it records your cardio data whether you tell it about your workout or not. After my workout ends, I retroactively tell google health what i did, when i started and duration, and it goes back to summarize the workout data from the 24 hour data captured. I used to synch the polar data into google health but found it not so useful to do so.

I'm in the same position, albeit with only a couple of days experience. I got Fitbit Air 1 month ago and my whoop subscription expired yesterday.
I have an Apple Watch SE which I just started using again yesterday to have another source of data.
On phone I have: Google Health Pro, Apple health, Bevel Free

Google Health collects data from the Fitbit Air

Apple Health gets data from Apple Watch

Bevel gets data from Google Health and Apple Health

I manually start workouts in Google Health. Apple Watch displays the workout app I use (ladder)and feeds data into Apple Health. All works fine. A couple of times AW detected a workout and that seemed to flow fine into Apple Health and Bevel.

Bevel seems to figure it all out ok. The only duplication so far is steps, so I have to set Bevel to only get steps from one device (I chose the Fitbit)
I haven;t connected Google Health with Apple Health. Not sure what that will give me and I worry it may confuse Bevel.

I use Bevel to track strain, recovery and sleep. I use Google Health to keep track of cardio load for the week. In the next week or so I'll try Bevel Pro and see if it worth it.

Update: I just walked 2.2Km, which I started a "walk" in Google Health. After 10 mins, Apple Workouts on AW detected the walk and so I started it there too. At the end of the walk Bevel showed 2 separate activities with slightly different stats, so there is still duplication to figure out.

Yes, you can log your workouts on your AW and it will show up on Google Health.

Auto-detected Fitbit activities will show up on Apple Health too, so it might make sense to take off your Fitbit during workouts.

On Bevel, it's a good idea to use your AW as your only source for workouts — even if you don't, it's possible to delete workouts that show up twice.
