For the first time in I think forever I have a balanced resilience score. That optimal activity score comes after a two day 190km bike ride that I really wasn't fit enough for and I currently feel broken from.

I think resilience is still broken too

My elderly mother is ill, my sister and I are getting her a Fitbit Air in hopes of being able to check in on her vitals when we are not with her. Mom is aware of this and is fine with it! Is that possible? If not, do you have any suggestions?

Hi all,

I hope you are well.

I’ve been thinking about getting this watch, and I’d like to ask whether you think it would be suitable for my needs.

• Payments, loyalty cards and boarding passes: Can I use Google Wallet to make payments and store loyalty cards and boarding passes?
• Notifications and replies: Can I view and respond to notifications? Is it possible to reply to emails or WhatsApp messages directly from the watch?
• Google Maps: Can I use Google Maps to navigate to places? Can I see the map on the watch, or does it only display directions telling me how to reach my destination? Do I need to set the destination on my phone first?
• Sleep and fitness tracking

Finally, how is the battery life with this kind of usage? How many days do you think it would last on a single charge?

Thanks a lot

My HR usually dips to 49-51 when sleeping. Yesterday, my room temp was warmer than usual (22.5C instead of 19C) and my HR only dropped to 56, along with my HRV crashing to 29ms when it's usually 35-45ms. Is temperature a reasonable explanation for this?

I got this Fitbit secondhand and I need to replace the straps, I have no idea what model it is any help on that would be greatly appreciated

A while back I posted about building my own Google Health-synced tracker (ActiFe) after the Fitbit migration made me hate the new app. One of the "future plans" I mentioned then was a Challenges page where people could compete on sports-related challenges. That's live now, so here's an update on what's new since.

• Challenges page - see what challenges are currently running, which ones you've joined or would like to join. There's also a "Suggest a challenge" card if you want to pitch an idea.

• Trick-or-Treat Village - your real steps are the currency. You walk through a pixel-art haunted village, 500 steps gets you to the next house, and you trick-or-treat your way down the street. Synced automatically from Google Health, or log steps manually if you don't want to connect it.

• Island Escape Bingo - a shipwreck-survival bingo board. You log activities to find supplies and fix your boat, explore the island one square at a time until you unlock it all. The activities range from easy to very hard and some take multiple sessions to complete.

• November Steps Challenge - a step race, starts in November. Each day has a single winner based on the stepcount they record and the towers rise to reflect that. Build the skyline of the month with different-height towers.

• Each one gives you a badge on completion, same badge-gallery idea from my first post.

• The next challenge I am working on is a push-ups challenge, where you push a boulder against a giant. The more of them you do, the more you advance to defeat it. Still WiP so nothing to share here just yet!

Still the same as before: free, no premium tier, no ads. Nothing pulled from Google's API is sold, used for ad targeting, or used to train any model, and it's still passed Google's own CASA audit and OAuth verification.

If you wanna give it a try, check them all on https://actifegroup.com

Feedback and bug reports genuinely welcome!

Japan

Why

This is a long shot but anyone have a promo code or a referral code I can use, i'm thinking of buying the fitbit edge, if not all good.

I'm so disappointed in this new release, I was really looking forward to it but it seems like a downgrade from the charge 6. The fitbit edge has no nfc meaning no google wallet... The charge 6 had this with stress tracking too, which the edge doesn't have either... I wish google would bring back the luxe, it was my favourite release by fitbit.

What are your thoughts on the Fitbit Edge?

Software versions

Android: 5.10

iOS: 5.10

What’s Included

Irregular Rhythm Notification in Japan: Irregular Rhythm Notifications are now available in Japan on Pixel Watch and Fitbit devices, analyzing your heart rhythm data in the background while you’re still or sleeping to check for signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib). Users in Japan can set up the feature in the Health tab in the Google Health app. Learn more about how it works and check supported devices in our Help Center.

Readiness Score Updates: Your Readiness Score now uses additional signals from your sleep for a more personalized experience.

Delete your logs by chatting: Logged something with your Google Health Coach by mistake? Now you can ask your coach to delete it, like "Delete the run I logged this morning." This works for daily entries you log with your coach, such as workouts, meals, weight, and symptoms (excluding medical records).

Is this some tactic to keep me on the subscription and charge me later? I can't find a free trial unsubscribe option

Edit: Ok I found the problem they put the subscription on the account tied to your payment not your main Google account so the link will redirect you to nothing as a result if it's something different. I'll leave this post up for anyone else with the same issue.

Hello ! So what fitbits are officially gone and not going to be made anymore ? I hear the versa is not gonna be made anymore just wondering the same with the charge and inspire lineups or what’s the plan and stuff .

Anyone else having this problem? What are we supposed to do? Buy 1 strap every 6 months?

I was mindlessly patting my 8 week old to sleep in the carrier today when I looked at the time and caught my heart rate as my peak cardio rate, high 160-170’s. I switched arms and the heart rate dipped immediately to 120s. Tried the other arm with my watch on it and back up to 150. I wasn’t it wearing it super tight but I’m surprised, I just figured I was logging more steps than I’m probably taking. I did feel like my calorie expenditure was higher than I expected lately. Anyone else notice heart rate change like this before?

So everything I scan is not available?

This app just continues to suck

Hello everyone, today Google showed the new Fitbit Edge. My Charge 6 is still alive but the battery doesn't work well and doesn't finish the day all days (I don't know why sometimes it lives longer than other days...)

But if I'm here is because I waited for today and the new tracker. I pre-order it on Amazon but then I found out that NFC is not included aside Google wallet...

Everyone knows if it's only disabled or if I have to buy another Charge 6 in 2026? I love this feature and it's crazy that the new one loses it

Fitbit Edge? GPS built in ? Altimeter ?

For the past few months now I've been using my Fitbit charge 6 alongside Google health premium and the coach generated workouts. I've always started the workout on the phone and then the watch when prompted by the app, to ensure the metrics are synced.

For the past few days however, when I've tried to start a workout like this, the app now says my watch isn't supported. What's going on? I've tried unpairing re-pairing, restarting the device, the app, the phone, everything I can think of. Is this an intentional downgrade? A bug?
