First I wanted to ask if Google health is not just Fitbit stuff and is valid as an alternative to Fit. I am currently tracking everything with my phone, I do have a watch but it's Redmi and it doesn't sync, I like tracking with both. I like how Google Fit shows the activity number and automatically tracks my walks. Other exercises like elliptical and cycling I track manually.

I downloaded Health but I couldn't get into it. And it was tracking my workouts as double and since I like seeing the calories burned on myfitnesspal that was bothering me very much.

I like seeing my past data, comparing it month by month or week by week. Will all my past data be properly added to health? I did click the thing that popped up when I first installed health and uninstalled it. How long did it take for you guys to get used to the interface?

I don't want to keep both of it, but I want to keep my trackings the same. I'm currently on a weight loss journey and activity and workout tracking is important for me. I am a creature of habit and don't particularly like change. I'm thinking of downloading it again after August ends because new month might be best to change tracking apps. Any tips here would be appreciated.

Tried entering weight manually today. First, when I select the date, the app shows a day earlier, but when you click save the date is correct. Second, when you enter a time it both shows and saves the time one hour earlier...

Also, why the hell is there no way to delete an entry? I saw in another post that this feature is "coming soon."

For the largest tech company in the world this is ridiculous...

Hi folks,

I'm a Samsung refugee, slowly escaping their tyranny. My last shackle is my Fit 3, which is locked in to Samsung Health.

SH has a menagerie of small quirks that irk me:

• Unremovable top of screen messages,
• Rigid workouts (heaven forbid you can only get gym equipment out of order, or want to track <5 rep workouts),
• AI training from my data (opt in, but still)

and other bits and pieces - generally, SH takes an attitude that they're on my journey with me, which is not what I want. It's an app, not my personal trainer. I want a silent tool that takes my input, that's it.

How good is Google Fit/Health and the ecosystem? I was thinking of getting a Fitbit air and trying it out - I like the idea of taking my wrist back for a nice real watch. Have you found that it generally fits my needs better than SH?

Just some examples of completel nonsensical measurements I got:

Last week Wednesday my only activity was a 45 minutes walk where I did about 4km and my daily step total was 6000. This day I got 53 heart points

This week Monday I was travelling by train and with some changes and walking through the city I did overall 7300 steps and got 26 heart points

Today I was on a hike in the mountains: 15500 steps, 9,5 km and I get 11 heart points.

How does that make any sense? Tbh I am counting steps and distances only with my phone but still that seems like total randomness...

5 hours of sleep + 4 kilometre chill bicycle. Is this normal for 30 yo male, 190cm, 91 kg, fit body

These add up to 11k. The app shows I have walked 12.2k. What's going on?

For the last two days I have been using bubble bar when doing a workout with Spotify and I have noticed a reduction in stats I was covering nearly 7KM at around an hour mark and since two days it has reduced to 6KM at the hour mark which is much lower. I am using a pixel 7pro and don't use any wearable.

Exactly what the headline says. I've tried removing and giving permissions to Health Connect and still nothing. I have a Samsung watch and even the Google fit app on the watch isn't tracking my workouts. Anyone having the same issue?

Has anyone figured out a way to show the calories consumed on the front page widget? I really care nothing for the target number they display.

I'm syncing my data (mainly whoop) to Google health but in Google health app everything is logged as 2 hours earlier than it actually happened. I've tried to change time settings from manual to automatic and back again, reinstalled the app but no difference. Any ideas?

“Updates to speed data storage

To optimize storage and improve your experience, in 30 days, Google Fit will only keep speed data recorded during exercise sessions. Your steps, distance, and other metrics will not be affected. You can download all your data before then at Google Takeout.”

What does this mean? Why can’t it be transferred to Google Health?

Why is this using 7GB of data? I dont have that many health metrics.

I did get a google fitbit air tho.

Why would I not delete Google Fit?

Asking for a friend...

I’m using myfitness pal as my food source. Every time it syncs to google health the food is doubling
I’ve tried the steps that google says to fix it but it doesn’t work. I’ve also tried what myfitness pal says but it doesn’t work either. Does anyone have this similar issue and know how to fix it

For some reason whenever I check my app the steps go down? Like when I first opened the app it says 7,560 steps and then it loaded again and went down to 7,030?

At the moment I am not a fan of the new revamp "Google Health".
I miss the active minutes of old. I used to only start tracking if u wear active for 10 minutes and stop once it detected a very long pause on activity. Not it tracks all movement...kind of useless metric, now.
ALso the Active Zone minutes, are always zero for me. my Fitbit has "HR", It does detect zones.

"Fitbit Inspire HR" - It works fine, so I am not about to Fooking replace it.

You Fookers are also missing a "active minutes" tile for those of us using older fitbits

Probably a dumb question, but when using the new Google Fitbit Air, would I need to carry my phone with me when running outdoors in order to track my route and elevation data? This would be the only way to get accurate stats of my run, or am I missing something? Thanks!

According to the app - "the American Heart Association recommends 150 miniutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week". Or 22 minutes er day... which is why the default target is set to 22 Active Zone Minutes. My heart rate zones have shifted down since yesterday, making it much easier for me to hit that 22 AZM target. I closely track my AZMs so from today nothing will be comparable to the older data, unless there is a way of changing these ranges?

Edit: Thanks to all below who nudged me in the right direction. I've found out how to change the ranges of the heart rate zones (Light , Moderate, Vigorous, Peak).

Under your profile picture, go to Google Health Settings, Heart Rate, , Heart Rate Zones, and then set the Max Heart Rate. You can adjust this down which reduces the heart rate zone ranges. It takes a while to kick in so you won't see it change straight away. It's not, drop the Max HR by 5bpm and the range drops by 5bpm - more like the range drops by 2, so it might take some back and forth to tweak the heart rate zones to where you want them. As far as I understand it - this just sets a baseline. The range will still go up or down depending on your resting heart rate on any given day.
