Post its acquisition by Google<\/a> in 2021, Fitbit has gradually started to lose its identity<\/a>. The last Fitbit fitness tracker released was almost a year ago \u2014 the Ace LTE<\/a>. However, despite that, Google continues to support existing Fitbit trackers and still updates the app and wearables from time to time. The app’s Health Metrics page<\/a> recently got a redesign, and now the Device Settings page has been refreshed too.<\/p>\n

Affordable fitness trackers that get the job done<\/p>\n

First spotted by 9to5Google<\/a>, the Fitbit app for Android is getting a new design for the settings page of connected Fitbit trackers, resembling the layout seen in the Pixel Watch companion app. The updated page shows a large preview of the connected tracker with the watch face prominently displayed, just like how Pixel Watch settings show a preview in the Pixel Watch app.<\/p>\n

Old vs. new Fitbit settings UI<\/p>\n

Connection status and battery info are now positioned below the preview, while the “Sync now” button has moved to the top-right corner. The app list shown below the preview in the old UI is now replaced with cleaner, Pixel-style buttons for Apps, Watch faces, and Tiles.<\/p>\n

Settings are now organized into sections like Notifications (for managing alerts and calls), Google (for Wallet and Maps), Device Preferences, and Fitbit Reminders & Alerts (for heart rate and move reminders), similar to the Pixel Watch app’s structure. There don’t appear to be any new settings, but the update offers a much cleaner and more modern look, replacing the aging previous layout.<\/p>\n

The end of an era <\/p>\n

That said, it’s great to see Google still supporting Fitbit OS-powered devices, even though development of new devices has ended<\/a>. Fitbit trackers remain among the best and most reliable fitness trackers<\/a> available.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to join the Fitbit ecosystem, now is actually a good time, since most Fitbit trackers are currently discounted. The Charge 6, which comes with an AMOLED display and week-long battery life, is currently 25% off<\/a>, while the sleeker Inspire 3 with 10-day battery life is now $20 off<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Post its acquisition by Google in 2021, Fitbit has gradually started to lose its identity.
