My bug with the Pixel Watch (2, but I think it's happening with all pixel watches) when you're doing a workout (in my case weightlifting) the step count stops counting.

Screen less trackers are the way to go,why buy a expensive smartphone just to look a tiny screen on a smart watch lol

What i like most is the ai coach (gemini). It's really good. That block of text that you are all hating on is so useful for me (pixel watch 4, health/fitbit premium) and I like interacting with it. But you guys are the influencers so if you hate then it'll disappear. No one cares what us little, paying, Google customers think 😢 (i do agree there's some bugs that need working on but overall it's a huge improvement). I'm not a total beginner, I've been doing 10k steps a day for years , workout 3-4 times a week and love tracking my sleep. I like my pixel watch 4 - never craved a whoop

Make the alarm and smart alarm sync with phone alarms like the pixel watches!

The new app update ruined my fitbit charge 6... it is measuring time that I am awake as sleeping. It was perfect before, now its awful. Thinking to buy an alternative...

Amazon delivery driver here. Ive had my Fitbit Air for several days. Its accurate with my step counts around ~25k steps. But calories burned is insanely high for some reason. Love the sleep stats ❤️

There is update that now Google officially disclosed all the size and parameters of fit bit so any one can make their own attachment or bands

I currently have a Garmin - I have been heavily thinking of the FItbit Air because I kinda want to go back to a traditional watch. I think that is also a market people are looking for

The AI coach actually grew on me. It has become very helpful.

I like wearing actual watches and I don’t want a screen. The Air is just the perfect thing I wanted without a subscription

For strength training mine also doesn’t show BPM… so I just use normal workout instead of strength training 😅

Can’t get it for another 2 weeks in the uk so I’m loving the reviews 👌🏻

I am sure you guys already vibe-coded that competition leaderboard app. Can you share the code? I have no idea how to do it. Marques said, you should be able to do it in one prompt? Or share the prompt? (I need to compete with my kids so they can get better sleep)

Tbh Google along with Meat seem like the last companies you should wear a health tracking device from

It's cool that everyone tested it so they could all talk about it

Google Health has been SOOOO helpful to me. Coupled with my Pixel Watch, its tracks everything about my day and the Gemini built in gives really food personalized details throughout the day from start to finish. Its like having your own personalize coach with you.

8:06 agree re layout but I've been enjoying the personalized reminders.

To be fair. The pause button needs moving. You accidentally click it when you change apps
