Fitbit Wear OS App Gets An Update On All Pixel Watch Models

Wear OS powers Google’s Pixel Watch series of smartwatches. However, the Fitbit ecosystem and the application facilitate most health and fitness tracking features of these wearables. Fitbit rolls out regular updates to its application for the Pixel watches from time to time. It has now rolled out another update for the Fitbit Wear OS app on the Pixel Watch series.

Fitbit app for the Pixel Watch has received a minor update

Users of the Pixel Watch have received a notification to update the Fitbit app on their smartwatches. They are getting a new “Update available” notification. Owners can “Tap to start the update” option, which opens the app listing in the on-device Play Store. The size of the update is 3.8MB. Your device’s firmware build will go from version 3.25 to version 3.27 after the update.

Sadly, the latest update for the Fitbit app for the Pixel Watch doesn’t bring any significant new features. There aren’t any changes to the wearable’s Today, Exercise, or Relax apps/experiences features. Also, the Tiles and complications options are the same when the device restarts after the update installs. As first reported by 9to5Google, the update doesn’t bring the Cardio load and Readiness cards to a Pixel Watch 2.

Pixel Watch’s next software update won’t arrive before March 2025

Just to remind you, the Pixel Watch series’ next update will not arrive until March 2025. Earlier, Google used to release monthly updates to its smartwatches. However, they haven’t received any updates after the November 2024 update. Google’s decision to delay the updates for the Pixel watches is part of a larger strategy to better allocate engineering resources.

Google might also be aiming to offer more substantial updates every quarter with major new features. It’s worth mentioning that the three-month gap in updates doesn’t have any major impact on the end user experience.
