Syncing Struggles with the Fitbit App on Pixel Watch: Is This a New Feature or Just a Glitch?


As someone who loves tracking health data through various apps, it’s been frustrating to deal with syncing issues between my Pixel Watch and the Fitbit app. It’s odd because all my other apps sync flawlessly, yet Fitbit, which should be optimized for this kind of functionality, is consistently struggling. What's even more perplexing is that there’s no official context from Google explaining why this issue seems to be exclusive to Fitbit.

This raises a few questions: Could it be a bug in the app? Or perhaps, some kind of new feature that’s causing the sync to delay or misbehave? As of now, there’s no clear answer, and while Fitbit’s platform itself is packed with features, this syncing issue leaves me wondering about its reliability.

I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come, especially for an app so crucial to daily health tracking. It would be reassuring to Google address this head-on and provide some clarity.
