GOOGLE GOBBLES FITBIT - APP & WEARABLES
The Fitbit App is now being mothballed and replaced by the Google Health App.
You may have already updated, if you haven't, you will need to very soon. It's not an overly painful update but it is a nuisance plus it is very different, at least superficially.
I personally took up the free 3 month Premium membership to get the best out of it, but that certainly isn't necessary.
I'm not sure how seamless the integration is for our Gym/Coaching App (Trainerize) but so far so good.
I would suggest anyone still hanging on the the nostalgia and familiarity of the Fitbit app, update to Google Health asap. Just be proactive NOT reactive - The Fitbit App wil be deleted by Google, along with ALL your data if you don't update, in September!!
GOOGLE FITBIT AIR WEARABLE RELEASED TODAY!
This is a major disruptor wearable in the market. Fitbit was already #1 fitness wearable, but with the new Google Fitbit Air, it will make performance trackers such as Whoop and Polar VERY nervous.
Hundreds of dollars cheaper, subscription NOT necessary and a tiny, screen free form factor PLUS it will get HUUUUGE third party support....it is a giant killer!
I'm going to get one as my Fitbit Sense is on its last legs. If you are curious: https://youtu.be/tGD9CS2YOiY?si=-4IDUS-r7I1OdSY9
BARGAIN WEARABLE OF THE YEAR: XIAOMI SMART BAND 10
Another absolute giant killer fitness tracker!
If I didn't buy a Fitbit Air, I would get this tracker. OLED screen, aluminum construction, very high brightness, colour of course, huge battery life, up to 20 days and only $69 from Amazon Au!! Check out this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOQsrKoAhS8
