No irregular heartbeat notifications, automatic workout tracking, and more
The Pixel Watch is not only Google’s first Wear OS smartwatch, but it’s also the first non-Fitbit smartwatch to offer Fitbit integration. It gives you access to a host of features you’d find on Fitbit smartwatches, such as the recently released Sense 2 or Versa 4, making it a great option for existing Fitbit users. However, recent reports indicate that the smartwatch is not getting the full set of fitness tracking features found in other Fitbit smartwatches.
according to ConnectTheWatts (Across 9to5Google), the Pixel Watch lacks support for automatic exercise tracking, irregular heartbeat notifications, and some other features found on Fitbit smartwatches. A comparison of the Pixel Watch’s spec sheet with Fitbit smartwatches on the Google Store reveals that the former does not support automatic start, stop, and pause of exercises and swim tracking. However, the Pixel Watch listing on Fitbit’s website and a dedicated Google Store listing indicate that the watch does indeed offer automatic workout tracking.
