Fitbit Premium’s Sleep Profile categorizes your sleep patterns primarily based on considered one of six cartoon animals. The characteristic tracks 10 sleep-related metrics so customers can get a big-picture view of how their routines have an effect on their sleep and discover areas the place they will enhance. Given that the Pixel Watch already tracked the vast majority of these sleep metrics, it was odd that this was initially gatekept to Fitbit units.

Another perk: usually, you’ll want to log 14 nights of sleep inside a month to get a Sleep Profile on the primary day of the next month. But, should you’ve logged 14 nights of sleep in October, Google says it’s best to see your Pixel Watch’s Sleep Profile on November twenty second as an alternative of getting to attend till December 1st.

Meanwhile, Fitbit promised that Google Wallet and Google Maps had been coming to the Sense 2 and Versa 4 again in August. What it didn’t say was that beforehand out there smartwatch options would disappear from each units, together with Google Assistant and third-party apps. That resulted in two watches that in some way supplied lower than their predecessors.

With Google Wallet, the Sense 2 and Versa 4 will give customers extra choices with regards to contactless funds — a typical characteristic in fashionable smartwatches. Fitbit Pay has been round for some time, however Google Wallet affords higher integration with Android telephones and is accepted extra extensively. That at the least takes a few of the sting out of the opposite lacking good options.

Ultimately, these are each minor fixes. Google Maps continues to be lacking from the Sense 2 and Versa 4, as are third-party apps and Google Assistant. The Pixel Watch’s sleep monitoring bought higher, however you continue to don’t get SpO2 percentages, and bedtime mode nonetheless needs to be turned on manually at night time. The extra encouraging takeaways are that Google is taking much less time to ship long-promised options and that, within the case of the Pixel Watch, it’s open to enhancing the watch’s Fitbit integration. Google and Fitbit nonetheless have work to do with this confused wearable lineup, however that is at the least a child step in the appropriate course.
