Fitbit app redesigns device settings to match Pixel Watch

The modernization of the Fitbit app continues with a redesign of the device settings page for smartwatches and trackers.

This update is for Fitbit OS-powered devices and starts with a large preview of your device and current watch face. Connection status, battery level, and last sync are listed below. The sync now button is in the top-right corner. The previous interface with prominent tiles for different features was years old.

L-R: Old, new, Pixel Watch app

You then get a row of cards for Watch faces, Apps, and Tiles. This top half of the UI is clearly inspired by the Pixel Watch companion app for Wear OS. Tapping takes you to the same management interface as before.

One update I'd like to see from Fitbit would be multiple device support.

When I get a new phone, for example, my old phone is still associated with my Google account. I have no problem picking it up and using it around the house like an iPod Touch or if needed slipping the SIM back into it or whatever...

But when I got my Pixel Watch, I had to completely scrub my Charge 5 from my account. When I got my Pixel Watch 3 I likewise had to remove my OG Watch...

Why can't I keep them both on the account ? It might be nice to be able to simply take my Watch 3 off and slip my Charge 5 back on to wear to the gym. It's smaller profile might be nice and I'd be less concerned if something happens and I end up scratching it. Or maybe switch back to the Charge to take advantage of it's week long battery so I don't have to worry about charging my watch every other day or so while I'm camping or whatever other holiday I might be up to this summer...

The “Settings” list (on a Fitbit Sense 2) has menus for:

Notifications: Calls, texts, and app notifications
Device preferences: Wrist preference and device lock
Google: Wallet and Maps
Fitbit reminders & alerts: Move reminders, goal celebrations, and high & low heart rate
Tips & support: Tutorial, device guide, and get help
System: Software updates and disconnect
Smart features: Amazon Alexa and on-wrist calls

The UI for Fitbit trackers is similar, with this device settings redesign rolling out in recent weeks.

Over the past year, Fitbit has been upgrading the Android and iOS app page-by-page. All health stats, save for Food logging, have been updated with a modern layout and charts, while app settings were updated last June.

Google has already previewed one part of the upcoming Material 3 Expressive redesign of the Fitbit app for Android. Hopefully, that will introduce the dark theme.
