Google Pixel Watch Bug Blocks Fitbit Sensors Across 3 Generations as Health Tracking Fails
3 articles · Updated · Techgenyz · Jul 14
Summary
Pixel Watch owners say a Fitbit permission screen is trapping them in a loop, blocking access to heart rate, SpO2, skin temperature and other sensors even though all settings already show enabled.
Factory resets are reportedly not fixing the problem, pointing users away from device setup errors and toward a software or server-side fault tied to Google’s health stack.
The glitch spans multiple watch models and follows at least three other Pixel Watch health failures this year, including inflated step and calorie counts, May sensor-permission resets and an ECG app outage.
Google has not publicly addressed the latest bug, though earlier permission issues drew Reddit apologies from PixelCommunity and Fitbit support as Google folds Fitbit into its Google Health platform.
