Based on the Fitbit Help Center page, the following features will be removed or discontinued during the transition to the new Google Health app:

Health and wellness

• Skin temperature minute-by-minute data: In the Google Health app, you’ll only see your daily and weekly trends.
• Estimated Oxygen Variation (EOV): EOV data is no longer available. You can continue to view your overnight blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) data in the Health tab.
• Blood glucose features: You will no longer be able to add symptoms or set check reminders.
• Food Plans: Setting specific calorie targets via "Food Plans" is no longer supported.
• Recipes: This feature is being removed for Fitbit Premium users.
• Snore Detection: This will no longer be supported for Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 users.

Fitness

• Day-by-day plans: For users in Public Preview, previous day-by-day plans will be removed.

Social

• Groups and Community Feed: These features are being removed.
• Direct Messaging: Sending and receiving direct messages and notifications from other users will no longer be supported.
• Usernames and profile photos: Unique Fitbit usernames and custom profile photos are replaced by your Google Account details.
• Social privacy settings: Sharing of and privacy settings for sex, height, weight, location, or friend lists will no longer be supported
• Badges: Existing badges will be deleted, and new badges will no longer be generated. If you have Google Health Coach, your coach will help to celebrate your progress and accomplishment.

Sleep

• Sleep Profile: Sleep Profile will no longer be available, and you will not receive monthly sleep animals.

Third-party connections

• Lifescan devices: Connections to Lifescan devices will no longer be supported.

I am especially sad about the oxygen variation and badges, so I hope getting more awareness of which features are removed will make Google more likely of integrating them again in the future.

I have a Pixel Watch and I am left-handed. I have always worn my watch on my left hand. I just switched to my right hand because traditionally people wear watches on their non-dominant hand. It feels weird. Are there any left-handers that wear their watch on their right hand? What is your opinion?

Hey guys,

I just got an email saying my Fitbit Premium is being cancelled on May 26 due to "age or location" restrictions.

I’m already 18 and use my own card, so I’m confused. Did anyone else worldwide get this same email today? i have use fitbit for 5 months now, never had a problem. Have the pixel watch 4

Thinking of getting a cheap pixel watch 2, is it throwing money away?

Got dropped off at the train station, went up the stairs and then the watch alerted me I left my phone behind. Quickly called my wife and asked her to turn around to drop off my phone.

Imagine not having your phone at work? You'd be stuck doing work all day lol

I’ve been trying to give the PW4 a fair shot, but at this point the combination of the watch and the Fitbit app feels like a paid beta test masquerading as a “premium health platform.”

PW is the most elegant, stylish looking smartwatch on the market but health metrics are becoming borderline unusable when combined with Fitbit app. The bugs are relentless, the metrics are comically off. The most frustrating part is that Google markets this ecosystem as serious health tech. If you’re charging premium prices and encouraging people to rely on these metrics for wellness tracking, the data should at least be internally consistent. Right now it feels like everything is stitched together with duct tape, vibecoded slop, and biryani. And instead of fixing the fundamentals, Google is busy slapping a new “Google Health” sign over the thoroughly enshittified Fitbit app. PW 4 is excellent hardware, but goes in the drawer - at this point I can’t trust anything the watch and/or Fitbit app report.

There is a seller on eBay who sells loads of smart watches. They've got a Pixel Watch 4 for sale, but the watch is apparently locked to a previous owner and so they're selling it as is.

My question is, does anyone know if there's a way to flash it, reset it to a factory state, so that it can be used?

With all the changes coming to the Fitbit app (or Google Health), do we think that Google will improve integrations with other fitness apps like TrainingPeaks and Strava? As a runner, I selfishly want to be able to sync my TrainingPeaks workouts with my Pixel Watch 4. This was something that I would do with my Apple Watch in the past. It seems like the company is really investing in health improvements and we might even be able to connect external HR monitors too.

Is there a way to see my full watch screen without having to touch the screen? Right now it just shows the basic time and date until I actually touch it.
