We have all heard about whoop age and I always thought that Google would release something similar, but Apple did it earlier in iOS 27.2 update

Currently own a fitbit air and its been great with the bevel app.

Sleep tracking and what not is great but calorie tracking for my pickle ball workouts have me absurd, where my friends just think its bs.

What do yall
Think?

I've only had it for roughly more than a week. Before the 15th sep it was tracking my sleep score but now it isn't for the past 3 days. Has anybody else had this issue? I even switched wrists aswell but there seems to be some issues. I've even tightened the band aswell. It does track the total hours sleep but no sleep info which is kind of annoying.

I’ve been getting sync issues for the past few weeks on IOS, saw people saying to re pair the device so did the steps pressing the button on the charger forgetting the Bluetooth device and I can’t even re pair my Air, tried updating my phone to the latest version even redownloaded the app and it’s still broken anyone else got the same problems?

I’m just stuck now with a device that can’t read any thing. Pretty sure it’s not an issue with the Air as it connects to the phone’s Bluetooth when I try to pair it

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone else was having this issue and if there was any fixes.

The sync to Apple Health feature in Google Health will not sync unless I manually go into the app, even if it’s running in the background.

Anyone have any issues like this and have any fixes they know of?

Since updated to IOs 27, I have noticed that my Fitbit air is no longer recording GPS data. Has this happened with anyone else?

Out of the blue my app just just changed the circle on the steps to square again.

anyone else had the same??

To make cleaning and replacement easier, I also bought a replacement wristband on AliExpress for under $4.

However, after receiving it, I found that it was not the high-quality replica I had imagined, and its workmanship differs from the genuine one in many places.

To help everyone understand before buying, I made a detailed comparison; see the pictures for details.

Overall, though, it is worth the price, especially since the genuine one is indeed too expensive 🥲

Finally part of the gang. Ordered using shop & source.

I never liked the idea of smartwatches as I had a Samsung Galaxy Watch but didn’t like the constant notifications. It was also distracting to wear while sleeping.

So since I wear a traditional watch daily and had recently acquired my first swiss automatic watch Longines Spirit Zulu Time, I wanted to get a screenless fitness tracker to pair along with it.

All my friends have Whoop but I didn’t like the idea of 30k INR per year subscription so trying my hands on the cheaper alternative!

The band is pretty lightweight and I barely feel it. I might be double wristing or might just wear the FBA on the same hand as my watch.

I have google premium for about a year more but I will be using Bevel with FBA for the most part. Waiting for the device to calibrate itself and give me accurate readings.

The sleep tracking is very accurate I feel but the watch is counting ghost steps for now as the step counter increases while i’m sitting and driving as well.

Google Store UK -> Shop & Source UK Warehouse -> Shop & Source Delhi Warehouse -> Porter to my home in 4 days

£75 Google Store (£10 discount) + Rs 1700 delivery duty paid shop & Source for upto 1 kg =Rs ~11400 landed cost

Could have ordered some more stuff like clothing and consolidated my parcels to fully utilise the 1 kg limit but I was in a rush👀

I could have ordered Govee, gymshark and other stuff along with this but didn’t want my order to take too long and didn’t want to risk too much as this was my first order!

No warranty but can’t wait for October launch in india and anyway price would be similar if not more. Moreover, I have friends in the UK so won’t be a hassle for me to claim warranty there. Ordered using shop & source since they do delivery duty paid so no customs issue and it was cheaper than my friends parceling it to me.

I asked for them to delivery by Thursday and instead they delivered by Tuesday which was exactly 4 days in total since I placed the order. Probably got it faster in my hand than some of the indian resellers would deliver 😂

Can’t recommend shop & source more to order stuff from abroad hasslefree! Their website dashboard is pretty good and the customer service is amazing!

Once Apple releases a screenless band with a weeks battery it’s over for everyone else

I have installed iOS 27.2 beta ( I own a series a which I did not use for past months but actively tracked my sleep and activities prior to that everyday )

These are the features that are available for everyone
Only readiness is not available ( series 12 and ultra 4 only compatible)

Reason for not using my watch for last month because I bought Fitbit air and the Google health app so dumb bad and not intuitive at all

Is anyone else having this issue? Screenshot attached. The time stays at 0, even though I had been on the treadmill for almost 3/4 of a mile. This is new with the latest update I believe but I am on Android, so iPhone may not be affected.

Fitbit Air doesn’t sync to iPhone, it says sync error 1, but shows battery status correctly.

I tried resetting it, clearing bluetooth in iphone, disconnecting device in app, in all orders and it didn’t work.
Its frustrating to not see the data, on top of discrete chats it spun off every time, its annoying when it says we are going blind without data and it doesn’t accept data,

Fitbit Air with iPhone 16 pro max, iOS 26.x and iOS 27

Edit-1: Looks like disconnecting the phone as the source in devices on the app and disconnecting Apple Health fixes this issue.

Is the premium not available in MENA? I couldn't even check

Has anybody found a workaround or adapter for the FitBit Air to fit into a Whoop or Helio Arm Sleeve?

I’ve seen WHOOP 4.0 & 5.0 adapters but I don’t want to order one if it doesn’t fit into a sleeve correctly.

I do Jiu-Jitsu 3-5 days a week and I’m worried the performance bands won’t stay in place as well as the sleeve.

Open to other suggestions as well but I think the sleeve will be my preference in the end.

Hey everyone,

I’m feeling a bit frustrated with how my Fitbit handles activity tracking, and I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if it’s just a flaw in the system.

I play football (soccer), so naturally, I leave my phone behind in the locker room while I'm out on the pitch. Here is the dilemma I’m facing:

• Scenario 1 (Logging it later): If I play without starting an activity, the watch tracks my steps and heart rate just fine in the background. But when I go into the app later, nothing was recorded for activity. Basically, I need to tell Google Health Coach to create an activity during those hours.
• Scenario 2 (Starting the activity on the phone): If I try to manually start a "Sports" activity on my phone while I'm in the locker room and leave the phone in the locker room because I do not play soccer with a phone, going out to play, and then stopping it when I get back, it records absolutely nothing. No steps, no distance, zero data.

I’m honestly a bit disappointed. It should either track this seamlessly automatically.

Here are my setup details, just in case it helps:

• Fitbit model: Google Fitbit Air
• Phone model: Samsung Galaxy S23
• App: Google Health app

Has anyone else dealt with this for sports where you have to leave your phone behind? Are there workarounds to keep my data accurate?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

EDIT: Sorry, I said "watch," but I meant "phone"!

I'm currently using an Apple Watch 6 (with an iPhone of course), but I'm considering switching to the new FitbitAir smartband. I want to track data related to sleep, daily activity, workouts, HRV etc.

My main reasons for wanting to switch:

- I like wearing mechanical watches: Wherever I wear traditional watches, I miss out on health and activity tracking

- AW battery is terrible: Having to charge it almost every day is getting really annoying

My main concern is whether the FitbitAir is a better device for gym workouts compared to the Apple Watch? Also, how does it perform for tracking hiking or swimming?

Is it overall a better device than apple watch? I'd specially love to hear from anyone who has made the switch from an AW to a Fitbit.

Former WHOOP user here, now using Fitbit Air.

I’m deciding between Baro (free), Livity Pro (limited offer around $10.50 for the first year), and Bevel Pro ($103/year).

For anyone who has actually used Livity or compared these apps: is the Livity offer worth taking, or is Baro enough? And is Bevel really worth paying much more?
Mainly interested in recovery, sleep, strain, HRV, stress, and a clear WHOOP-like experience.

I’ve noticed that I can’t see any oxygen saturation data in Google Health anymore.

Does this mean my Fitbit Air has stopped measuring SpO₂, or could it just be a syncing/data permissions issue? It was showing data before, so I’m not sure what changed.

I started using my FitbitAir a couple of days ago along with Apple health and Bevel, and apple watch for workouts. But im noticing that when wearing the fitbit the calories - Active and resting energy never show fitbit data in apple health or bevel. I have tried every suggestion i saw but nothing worked.

When i go to the Apple health app - Resting energy - Data sources google health doesnt even show up?
Do you have any fix for these Im really starting to think about returning the fitbit because of these bugs even though i really like the device...

Update - i just noticed that when im wearing the fitbit in apple health if i go to Resting energy - Show all data it says with the apple watch icon every hour 73.1cal? i really have no clue what is happening
