Smell from fitbit

A bit of an embarrassing question, I wear my fitbit daily and I really only take it off to shower. I give it a wipe down every few days. I have never had this issue before, but yesterday I skipped a shower due to lack of time. I work a sedentary job so it’s not like I get super dirty anyways. Today I took my watch off to tighten my band a little and my wrist underneath where the watch face sits smells funky😭. The watch face itself smells bad too. I just cleaned it well and Im letting my skin breathe a bit before I put it back on. What can I do to avoid this happening again? I suppose my skin needs the space to breathe during my showers or it will happen again? I don’t skip showers often so Im thinking that was the issue. It’s just strange that such a strong smell came from 1 day of not taking it off.

Why does it feel like the app just gets more and more buggy as time goes on

Last couple weeks I feel like the app hasn't done the best tracking or giving me couch insights. It's frustrating to log two workouts this morning and that's all that happened is they get logged, no insight which is one of their big things about this new app. Then to not have any of it make it to the weekly goals, which apparently hasn't logged the last 3 days of running or lifting either. Do they just rely on the AI to fix all these issues, because I will say Couch is probably the dumbest AI out there.

Active energy expended

Hey everyone,

I only use the health app and I wanted to know if the active energy expenditure feature worked for you or if a bracelet is required. It's nice to be at the good calorie number, but it's even better if I can know that I've created a calorie deficit.

Also, while I'm here, are you able to create custom foods because I can create them and they are added, but then it tells me that I haven't created a custom food.

Fitbit Air Adapter

There’s so much potential for having a quality adapter that can attach to an existing watch strap. I attached the existing strap to my watch and it works pretty good. The strap is a bit narrow for the watch and a few mm too long. But otherwise pretty good

Is this normal?

Seems like maybe the first two metrics are switched? Maybe not. Can someone shed some light on this please?

Fitbit air disconnected

Hi. I got a Fitbit air about 2 weeks ago. Noticed that I constantly had to go to my iPhone Bluetooth in settings and repair it, THEN go to the Google health app and sync. Annoying but whatever.
Two days ago, I went to start my workout, and it wasn’t connected. Went to Bluetooth settings, but it wouldn’t connect. Just kept failing. Annoying.
After I got home, I tried forgetting the Fitbit, and then reconnecting from scratch from the Google health app after resetting the Fitbit, but it will not appear and won’t even show up when I’m trying to pair it. What do I do? Is it just broken forever now…? Is this going to keep happening? I’m pretty unimpressed anyway by Google health but this is more a critical error than my other complaints. I have the IPhone 17. Fully updated. Thanks

Problem with FITBIT AIR

I bought a Fitbit Air two months ago and waited for about a week for it to calibrate. Afterwards, I noticed that all the data was available except for “Body Temperature,” which shows “No Data,” and “Blood Oxygen (SpO₂),” which shows “Not Tracked.”

I have tried everything, from disconnecting and resetting the band to uninstalling the Health app and wiping its cache and data, but nothing worked.

As a last resort, I contacted the Health Help Center and had several long and, unfortunately, meaningless discussions with them. During my last conversation, about two weeks ago, they told me that there was nothing wrong with the device, my phone, or the Health app. Apparently, the issue is simply due to country restrictions, as I am in Lebanon, which is currently not supported for the SpO₂ and Body Temperature features.

So, my question is: Is there any third-party app or any other way to access or read this restricted data?

N.B. I tried creating a new Gmail account and setting the country to the United States, but it did not work because I was required to add a payment method. Afterwards, I would also need to use a VPN, which is not practical at all.

Cardio load target problems

Why is my cardio load target so low at only 75? I'm already at 583% and it's still the middle of the week. How can I make it higher? It should be done calibrating as I've had it for a little over a week now.

Fitbit versa 4 won’t work

FIXED THE PROBLEM!
I held in the button until the logo came back, let go for a second and then pressed the button again, I held it in until the logo appeared with a circle around it, that means you successfully reset it! As soon you see the circled logo, stop pushing the button, it will take you back to the language select screen. Then you can start over again.

I’m starting to get really frustrated, because I JUST bought this clock and it won’t work..
I have re-added it to the app twice, I have removed it from my bluetooth twice, added it back through the app, updated the app, updated the clock. I have tried to hold in the on/off button to «restart» it, but this blinking and red X comes up, then right back to the top photo.

This was never an issue when FitBit wasn’t google.

What else can I do to fix this? If not I will have to return the clock and ask for a new one.

Charge 7 coming out soon?

Anyone else see those ad's/articles showing the new Pixel 11 lineup had a picture of what looked to be like a new Fitbit Charge device, with screen? If it was a leak/accident and not just some AI slop someone generated, any guesses on when it may come out? I've been wanting a new charge for a while now. My wife loves her air, but I like a screen as I use it like a smaller watch, as the smart watches just are too big/bulky which I don't like.

Ordered P11P's the other day, so would be nice to have a new Charge to spend some store credit on haha

Added to Google health from other devices

I learned something yesterday that is super cool so I just got the air and I’m really loving it especially the app, but I also wear a Garmin watch and I learned yesterday that after your workout or run or any kind of GPS activity you can screenshot all your metrics and the GPS and upload it to Google Health and it will incorporate all. This is so cool for me because my Garmin watches my main fitness and GPS tracking device so now I can have them work together in the app.

Fitbit Charge 6 burn?

Has anyone ever experienced this? I have had this Fitbit for over a year now and this happened out of nowhere. I was feeding the cats and then was cleaning up the floor where they eat their food. I suddenly felt pain under my Fitbit and moved it to find a pink spot. Thinking it was contact dermatitis again, I removed the watch to find a blister forming over a few minutes.

Looks like my OG Pixel Watch 1 is about to become a paperweight

One way to drive me to get a new PW5, I guess...
