In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of being unable to sync the Pixel watch with the Fitbit app. While the first iteration of a tech product more often than not manage to grab the attention of the masses, however, it is never a fully polished or furnished product. And the same is true for the first watch offering from the Silicon Valley giant.
However, what makes the matter all the more complicated this time around is the disjointed integration with Fitbit, so much so that an unaware user might even call it a Fitbit watch rather than a Pixel watch. If this sounds a tad strange, then there are quite a few concrete points through which we could justify this statement.
For starters, the entire data is saved to the Fitbit app on your device, rather than the Watch or Google Fit app. Moreover, even some of the watches are directly imported from the Fitbit watch, even without changing their names [Fitbit ECG, Fitbit Exercise, Fitbit Today]! To make the matter worse, many users have now voiced their concerns that they are unable to sync their Pixel watch with the Fitbit app.
Be it the steps counter, heart rate, or sleep tracker, none of these data are being synced, or in some cases, it ends up displaying incorrect results. If you are also currently getting bugged with this issue, then this guide will make you aware of a nifty workaround to resolve this problem. Follow along.
Fix Cannot Sync Pixel Watch with Fitbit App
To rectify this bug, users have already tried the basic workarounds of deleting the app’s data, reinstalling it, and even resetting the watch, but none of them spelled out success. Fortunately, you don’t need to take any of these extreme measures as simply updating the app to the latest version would fix the underlying issue. So let’s give it a try and check out the results
- Head over to the Play Store on your watch.
- Then go to Manage Apps and select FitBit.
- Now hit Update and wait for it to complete.
That’s it. This should fix the issue of being unable to sync the Pixel watch with the Fitbit app. As far as the official stance on this matter is concerned, the developers are yet to acknowledge this issue, let alone give out any ETA for the rollout of a fix. As and when any of these two things happen, we will update this guide accordingly. In the meantime, the aforementioned workaround is your best bet.
