The recent update for the Pixel Watch, rolled out by Google in March 2026, has led to significant issues with health tracking statistics in Fitbit. Users have reported discrepancies in step counts and other metrics, with some experiencing inflated numbers, including doubled step counts and calories burned, despite minimal physical activity.
Problems began surfacing shortly after the update, including missing data for skin temperature and SpO2 readings. Many affected users have taken to Reddit to share their experiences, indicating that the inaccuracies extend beyond just step counts.
Although the specific cause of these issues remains unclear, it has been suggested that they may stem from server-side or app-side problems rather than the update itself. As of now, Google has not publicly acknowledged the situation, but users are hoping for resolutions in upcoming software updates.
