Does anybody else find their HR during exercise is greatly inflated? It's regularly going into the vigorous level when I know my HR is not that high. My amazfit watch on the other wrist doesn't show anything close to those levels. I'm certain I'm wearing it correctly.

It's disappointing because it really inflates my daily cardio load making it look like I'm doing more than I am.

Per the title, I'm particularly interested in the soon to be released screen-free Fitbit wearable (pending particular details, e.g., subscription requirement). I used Fitbit many years ago and had a few of their devices (Flex, Charge HR, and Alta) before switching to an Apple Watch and most recently an Oura Ring.

After experiencing a number of issues with my Oura Ring, I want to get back to a wrist-based wearable but can't stand to have a screen on my wrist. That said, I feel a bit out of the loop with what features Fitbit offers, what it is and isn't good at, and what has changed since Google acquired Fitbit in 2021.

So I'm interested to hear:

1. What device do you use and what do you love or hate about it?
2. What has kept you with Fitbit as opposed to any of the other many brands - or alternatively, what has chased you away?
3. How has the user experience changed since the Google takeover?
4. If you stopped using Fitbit, what other products would you recommend?

And just to give you an idea of what I'm looking for (since different products work for different people), I'm interested in step tracking, activity tracking (especially swimming and weight training, though it doesn't have to be uber precise), sleep tracking + vibrating alarms, and long battery life (>=7 days). And I don't want to have to pay a monthly subscription (remember when we used to own the products we bought, including all their features?).

With these things in mind, do you think switching to a Fitbit is a good idea?

I’m very new to fitbit so apologies if this a stupid question but recently I bought a Charge 5 and I was wondering if there was any way to track my sleep duration/quality automatically or is it something I have to log manually?

Thank you

Has anyone managed to create a training plan with the AI ​​coach? It keeps showing me that no training sessions are planned, even though I've agreed on one with the coach.

Hi guys

Whenever I look at my daily rest heart rate on my watch it's almost always different then the one the app shows me for the day. For example today my watch says it's 70, my phone says its 72.

It is synced normally. Only happened after the new update. Was always the same before.

Is it like that for anyone else?

My pixel watch could'nt be on the same account. So I have 2 phones and 2 google account to be able to use my fitbit luxe and my pixel watch. But with the new fitbit feature, I see two buttons? Pixel and luxe but they seem not to be in fonction. Maybe it's because my pixel is still on the oder account, and the oder phone? It was very difficult to bypass the impossibilite and if I bring back the pixel on the same phone I am worry that I have to restart all the installation and finaly nothing fonctionning. ( scuse my bad english, i'm french speaker)

Hey,

is there any reason why food tracking works via _search_ only in the Public Preview? Will stuff like often tracked food, custom meals and the Barcode scanner be gone forever or will they be added later again?

Similarly, the Calories Burned gives the week average per default. Is there any way to change it, s.t. it shows the current Calories instead of the weekly average?

TIA, 7
