The Google Health switch was always going to annoy some long-time Fitbit users. The old Fitbit app had its problems, but people knew where things lived and had built routines around it. Google Health changes the layout, adds an AI Coach layer and removes or moves a number of familiar Fitbit-era features.

The latest roadmap is Google’s attempt to show that the app is not standing still. Some fixes are arriving as soon as this week, while other changes are set to land later.

Workout tracking gets early fixes

The most immediate fix is around exercise tracking. Google says runs that were incorrectly labelled as general workouts will be corrected, with that change rolling out this week. Run summaries are also getting splits.

There are changes planned for maps in exercise summaries, TCX exports and cases where people track exercise with more than one device or app connected to Google Health. Fitbit Air gets specific attention too, including better behaviour when live tracking loses connectivity and continued improvements to automatic exercise detection.

Food logging is being rebuilt piece by piece

Nutrition and calorie tracking also gets a sizeable chunk of the roadmap. Google plans to add custom food viewing, creation and logging, which addresses one of the more obvious gaps for people who used Fitbit as a daily food diary.

The app will also deal with duplicate logs when Health Connect and Google Health both pull from the same third-party app. MyFitnessPal, Cronometer and LoseIt logs should get proper meal types instead of being dumped into “Other”, while Pixel Watch users should see a fix for over-reported energy burned.

Sleep and dashboards are getting cleaner

Sleep changes include a fix for missing Sleep Scores in parts of the app, a 24-hour total sleep view and easier access to naps. Google also plans to update the Restlessness bar and add deletion options for sleep sessions, which should help clean up bad or unwanted logs.

The Today and Health tabs will get more customisation too. Google says users will be able to rearrange metrics and add or remove them more easily. Hourly step goal charts are also coming to both tabs.

Coach is getting less chatty

Beyond that, Google Health Coach is being tuned. Google says messages in the Today tab will become more concise, more visual and less eager to comment on minor activity.

Ask Coach should also improve. Google plans better recall of user instructions, fewer irrelevant references, fewer unnecessary non-answers and support for deleting logs. It will also add support for logging core body temperature and more food detail through Coach.

The bigger question is whether users want this much AI sitting between them and their data. Some will. Others just want clean charts, fast logging and reliable sync. Google seems to be learning that Health Coach needs to sit behind the experience, not constantly jump in front of it.

This is a roadmap, not a fix yet

The roadmap is useful, but it also confirms how much still needs work. Google Health is not just a rebrand of Fitbit. It is a major rebuild with new priorities, and that means some users are being asked to tolerate missing polish while Google catches up.

The encouraging bit is that Google is naming specific problems rather than offering vague reassurance. Apple Health sharing, Smart Health Links, dashboard customisation, structured schedules and a June fix for family-account migration issues all suggest the app will keep moving quickly.

The workout can be logged through Apple’s own Workout app. Third-party running apps should also work if they write workout data to Health. That gives users some flexibility if they prefer apps such as Strava, Nike Run Club or other platforms instead of Apple’s Workout app.

All of this means there’s no complicated target or need to close all three rings this time around. Simply run the distance on the day and the badge should appear in the Fitness app once the workout syncs.

A small badge, but a smart nudge

These limited-edition awards are not exactly life-changing, but Apple knows how to use them. They sit somewhere between a digital sticker and a behavioural nudge, which is probably why they work better than they should.

A 5K target also makes sense for Global Running Day. It is long enough to feel like a proper run, but not so long that it excludes casual runners. For many Apple Watch owners, this will be a reason to swap a short walk for a jog or to finally use the running workout mode again.

Apple is also adding animated stickers for Messages, which users can send after completing the challenge. Here they are.

Apple keeps using seasonal fitness prompts

Apple has marked Global Running Day with an Apple Watch challenge since 2024, so this is now becoming part of its yearly fitness calendar. The 2026 running challenge follows Apple’s recent Earth Day and International Dance Day Activity Challenges from April.

The Global Running Day challenge also lands at a useful time of year. Early June is a natural point for outdoor running in many markets, with better weather and longer evenings. Apple is clearly leaning into that timing.

That makes the product less flexible than it first appears. Someone who owns a Pixel Watch can use Air as a smaller device for sleep, workouts or charging gaps. Someone who owns a classic Fitbit tracker cannot use it in the same neat way without replacing their current device or going through manual device switching.

The Pixel Watch gets the better setup

The device is meant to fill the space between a smartwatch and a tiny health band. It makes most sense as a device you wear when you do not want a screen on your wrist.

That is a good pitch for Pixel Watch owners. They can wear the watch during the day, then move to Fitbit Air for sleep or situations where a larger watch feels clumsy. The two-device idea makes Google’s wearable ecosystem feel more complete.

But older Fitbit users are in a different position. A Charge, Inspire, Versa or Sense owner cannot simply add Air as a second active Fitbit device in the same account and move between them freely. That makes Air feel less like a general Fitbit companion and more like a Pixel Watch accessory.

Existing Fitbit owners are the awkward fit

This is where the product story gets awkward. Fitbit built its user base on simple, long-lasting trackers. Many of those users have no interest in wearing a full smartwatch. They may want Air precisely because it feels closer to classic Fitbit thinking. So they may have a Sense or Versa but want the option of switching over to something more lightweight from time to time.

Unfortunately, the software side does not support this. The Air cannot sit alongside those older devices as a second active tracker. Which means users have to choose which one gets paired.

That is a much harder sell. A Charge owner already has a screen, basic workout tracking and multi-day battery life. An Inspire owner already has a compact tracker. A Versa or Sense owner already has a broader Fitbit smartwatch. Air may still have appeal, but not if adding it means disrupting an existing setup.

Google may have a technical reason for the split. It may want to build the clean multi-device experience around Pixel Watch because that gives it more control over the full stack. Pixel Watch also fits Google’s wider strategy better than older Fitbit hardware.

But from a user point of view, that explanation only goes so far. Fitbit owners tend to think in terms of their account and data, not Google’s product hierarchy. They want the app to follow the person, not force a choice between devices.

This makes Air feel narrower than expected

The limitation changes how Fitbit Air should be understood. It is not a universal Fitbit add-on. It is best viewed as a companion for Pixel Watch users, or as a standalone Fitbit device for people who do not already rely on another tracker.

That does not make Air pointless. It may still suit people who want a screenless tracker and are happy to use it as their main device. It may also be useful for Pixel Watch owners who want better comfort during sleep or longer tracking gaps between watch charges.

But it does weaken the appeal for Fitbit’s existing tracker base. And Google should make this clearer. A simple compatibility note would avoid confusion and reduce the risk of returns.

The patent, titled “Monitoring fit of wearable devices,” was granted on May 26, 2026. It shows that the company has been thinking about one of the more annoying problems in wearables: bad fit quietly ruining good data.

The problem is not very glamorous

Wearable fit is not the kind of thing that gets much attention in product launches. Companies talk about sensors, algorithms, coaching, battery life and app features, while strap tightness usually gets reduced to a line in the setup guide.

But the fit can make or break the readings. A wearable that shifts around during exercise can produce noisy heart-rate data. A device worn too loosely can lose optical contact. A strap that is too tight can become uncomfortable, especially overnight or during longer sessions.

I for one can remember more than one occasion where my Whoop was not sitting properly on my wrist. As a consequence, I would lose a night of sleep data – ruining my usually excellent sleep score.

WHOOP is not just talking about asking the user to adjust the strap manually and guess what feels right. The filing describes a way for the wearable to measure fit more directly, using vibration and sensor response to work out how well the device is coupled to the body.

In plain English, the wearable would send a small vibration through the device, the strap or the body. Sensors would then measure the response, and the system would decide whether the current fit looks loose, tight or in a more useful range.

This is about cleaner data

The patent spends quite a bit of time on the idea of “mechanical coupling” and “optical coupling.” That sounds dry, but it is exactly the kind of thing that affects real-world performance.

Mechanical coupling refers to how securely the wearable sits against the body. Optical coupling refers to the contact needed for optical sensors, such as the LEDs and photodiodes used in wrist-based heart-rate tracking. When that contact goes wrong, the wearable has to work harder to separate useful signals from noise.

WHOOP’s filing describes a system that can evaluate the fit of the device and then provide adjustment information to the user. That could mean telling someone to tighten the band, loosen it or try the fit test again.

One drawing in the patent makes the idea feel more product-like. It shows an interface with “Tightness detected” at the top, along with results such as “Loose” and “Normal.” The same screen gives the user options to use the current tightness, try the test again, cancel or save.

It could fit WHOOP’s wider design

WHOOP has always had a different relationship with hardware than most smartwatch brands. The device has no display and leans heavily on continuous data, recovery, strain and sleep analysis. If the system can detect poor contact before it affects a workout or overnight reading, that could remove some of the guesswork.

The patent also looks beyond the wrist. Its drawings and examples refer to different body locations, including the wrist, bicep, torso, calf and ankle. That lines up with WHOOP’s broader wear-location strategy, where the sensor can sit in bands, apparel or other accessories rather than only on the wrist.

As always with patents, there is a big caveat. A granted patent does not mean WHOOP is about to launch this feature. Companies patent ideas all the time, and many never appear in a shipping product.

A messy account switch for families

Google has been moving Fitbit users away from old Fitbit accounts and onto Google accounts for some time. For adults, that process may be annoying, but it is at least fairly straightforward in most cases. For families with children using Fitbit devices, the switch can get more complicated.

A recent user report highlights a specific problem. The parent says their children already have Google accounts, but those accounts sit under Family Link supervision. That is the key detail. According to the report, the Fitbit migration cannot continue unless the child accounts are no longer supervised.

That leaves the devices in an odd middle ground. The accounts ask to move over, but the migration does not complete while supervision remains in place. The parent says removing supervision is not an acceptable workaround, partly because support could not guarantee that it could be added back afterwards.

Why this is more than a login issue

The awkward part here is that Google owns both sides of the problem. Fitbit is now part of Google’s account system and Family Link is also Google’s parental control framework. In theory, these two pieces should fit together. In practice, at least for some users, the overlap seems to be creating a dead end.

A parent may be comfortable with a child using a Fitbit tracker, but not comfortable removing supervision from the Google account tied to that child’s phone. Asking a family to loosen account controls just to keep a fitness watch working is not a great look.

Fitbit’s legacy account shutdown has already created plenty of irritation among long-time users who dislike being pushed into Google’s system. Add child accounts into the mix and the migration becomes more than a brand transition. It becomes a practical support problem for families who bought into Fitbit before this account change existed.

As far as workarounds, they may not be simple. Creating a fresh Google account might sound like an easy fix, but once a migration has started or an email address has already been tied to the Fitbit account, the parent may not have a clean way out.

Google needs a cleaner route for child accounts

The fix should not require parents to choose between a working Fitbit and account supervision. A cleaner route would allow a supervised child account to migrate into the Google Fitbit system while preserving Family Link controls. That seems like the obvious target.

Google also needs clearer messaging inside the migration flow. If a supervised child account cannot complete the process, the app should explain that before the account gets stuck. It should also show parents exactly what they can do next, rather than pushing them toward support chats or forum threads.

The watch starts at CNY 1299 for the Vitality Edition, which is around $191. Other versions rise to CNY 1699, depending on colour and strap choice. The range includes Shadow Black, Racing Gray, Twilight Brown and Flying Blue.

The battery is the main hook

The headline spec is the 1000mAh battery. Honor says the Watch 6 Plus can run for up to 17 days in standard Bluetooth mode, or up to 35 days in its long battery mode.

That puts it in a different place from Wear OS watches and other full smartwatches that need charging every day or two. Real-world use will, of course, depend on GPS, notifications, screen settings and health tracking. But the capacity itself is large for this category.

The display is a 1.46-inch AMOLED panel with a 464 x 464 resolution. Honor also claims up to 3000 nits peak brightness, which should help with outdoor visibility.

Dual-band GPS and 120 plus sport modes

The Watch 6 Plus supports dual-band L1 plus L5 GPS. It also works with GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC, so the positioning setup looks strong on paper.

Honor is also pushing the sports side harder than usual. The timepiece supports more than 120 sport modes, with more detailed reports for running, badminton and football.

Badminton gets some of the more unusual tracking. Honor says the watch can measure swing count, swing speed, hitting power and shot distribution. That is more specific than the generic indoor workout modes we usually see on watches in this price range.

Running also gets extra attention. The watch includes AI Coach and AI running posture analysis, which suggests Honor wants this to be seen as more than a lifestyle wearable with a few training modes attached.

Health features need careful wording

Honor is making fairly big health claims with the Watch 6 Plus. The watch tracks heart rate, blood pressure risk, sleep apnea risk and broader cardiac indicators.

A feature we have not seen before on a smartwatch is Heart Rate Reduction. Honor says this metric can help evaluate sudden cardiac arrest risk in real time. That sounds serious, so it needs to be treated carefully. This is still a smartwatch, not a diagnostic medical device.

The watch can also provide proactive reports and high-risk prompts. Some of this may be tied closely to China-specific services, so it may not arrive in the same form if Honor launches the watch globally.

Sensor support includes an accelerometer, gyroscope, geomagnetic sensor, PPG heart-rate sensor, ambient light sensor and barometric pressure sensor. There is also a speaker and microphone for Bluetooth calls.

MagicOS, DeepSeek and IP69 protection

The Watch 6 Plus runs MagicOS and includes Honor’s YOYO voice assistant, with DeepSeek LLM support. It also has NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, voice recording and support for video watch faces.

The hardware looks solid for the price. Honor lists 5ATM water resistance and IP69 dust and water protection, which gives the watch a stronger spec sheet than many basic smartwatches.

A strong spec sheet for the price

The Honor Watch 6 Plus looks like a lot of watch for the money. It brings a bright AMOLED display, large battery, dual-band GPS, IP69 protection, Bluetooth calling and a heavier health-tracking pitch than expected at this price.

The main question is how much of this package leaves China. DeepSeek support, YOYO, health reports and expert follow-up features may stay local or change heavily for other markets.

For now, the Watch 6 Plus is another sign that the mid-range smartwatch category is getting more aggressive. Long battery life is no longer enough on its own, so Honor is adding sport-specific data, AI coaching and stronger health claims around it.

How to allow RingConn push notifications

The first thing to understand is that RingConn notifications depend on the app staying active in the background. It’s not ideal but it is the way it works. If you fully close the app, the ring and phone will not keep the connection alive in the way needed for this feature.

On iPhone, that means leaving the RingConn app minimised rather than swiping it away from the app switcher. Also you need to allow notifications for the RingConn app in the phone’s settings.

Android needs a bit more care because battery management can be more aggressive. Go into your phone settings, find the RingConn app, open the battery or usage section and set it to unrestricted. The exact wording may vary slightly by phone brand. There is also an in-app setting worth turning on. In the RingConn app, go to Settings, then Connectivity and switch on Persistent Mode.

What the notification settings actually do

Once the phone-level settings are sorted, open the RingConn app and go to Me, then App Settings, then Notification Settings. This is where the ring-related notifications live.

They are separated into several groups. Under Ring, there are Battery Reminder and Wearing Reminder toggles. Battery Reminder does what you would expect, sending updates about ring battery status. Wearing Reminder is designed to flag when valid data has not been detected for 20 minutes while wearing the ring.

Under Vital Signs, there are sedentary and high heart rate reminders. The sedentary reminder can warn when no standing activity has been detected for a set period, with the example shown in the app using 50 consecutive minutes. The high heart rate reminder can trigger when heart rate exceeds the chosen maximum value for 10 continuous minutes while the user is not exercising.

There are also Plan Reminders and Service Notifications. Plan Reminders are used for pending check-in plans, while Service Notifications cover app or account-related messages through channels such as SMS, email and other methods.

What vibration can do on Gen 3

For Gen 3 devices, the app also has a Vibration page. This is where you can switch vibration on or off for Battery Reminder, Sedentary Reminder and Wellness alerts.

Most smart rings don’t have this feature, but vibration makes sense on a device with no display. It can give you a subtle nudge when something needs attention without turning the ring into a watch. It also keeps the feature focused on ring-related alerts rather than trying to mirror every phone notification.

I’ve been testing the Gen 3 device and can confirm that the vibration feature works as advertised. It is subtle and short when it springs into action. For now, ring vibrations are limited to Battery Reminder, Sedentary Reminder and Wellness Notifications.

Unfortunately, the device does not currently support a vibration alarm for waking up in the morning. Or any sort of alarm. Many people like the idea of a ring buzzing gently on the finger instead of using a phone alarm, but that is not part of the current feature set.

There is a possible upgrade path here. RingConn has indicated that official OTA firmware updates are scheduled to gradually add vibration alarm features in Q3 to Q4 2026. The exact release date remains subject to the official rollout, so it is best treated as planned.

For now, anyone buying Gen 3 mainly for silent alarms or custom timed reminders should keep expectations in check. The hardware may be there, but the current software does not yet turn it into a fully flexible haptic reminder tool. Still, it is a useful first step for a smart ring category that is only just starting to experiment with on-finger feedback.

Keep an eye out for my full RingConn Gen 3 review. It should drop in the next week or so. In the meantime, you can check out the full RingConn range on the company’s website.

The update package is listed at 13.18MB, so it is fairly small. But the change log itself is quite broad. It touches recovery, workouts, activity reminders, weather, maps, Zepp Coach and even how the digital crown behaves on the watch face.

We actually knew this update was coming. The company has started publishing a roadmap of upcoming firmware refreshes, and this was scheduled for May.

BioCharge replaces Readiness

The main change for Balance is the long awaited arrival of BioCharge. This replaces the Readiness score and delivers a more accurate body energy evaluation and recovery experience.

The new crop of watches has had this metric for a while. And real-world tests show that is it a bit better than the old metric.

Interestingly, Zepp Health has started rolling an even newer version of this called HybridCharge. Presumably, this will be coming to Balance, as well, considering it is an update to the smartphone app.

Helio Strap gets a more useful role

Another upgrade as part of the new firmware is support for using Helio Strap as a heart rate monitor during workouts. That is interesting wording. It suggests you can pair the Helio Strap to your Balance device, as you would a heart rate chest strap.

A wrist-based watch can struggle during certain sessions. Strength training, cycling and workouts with lots of wrist flexion can all make optical heart rate more messy. A strap worn higher on the arm can often sit more securely and produce cleaner readings.

Stryd support is another running-focused addition

Zepp Health has also added support for the Stryd accessory. This gives runners another way to pull more detailed running data into the Balance experience after connection.

Stryd is already well known among runners who train with running power and extra footpod metrics. Bringing that support to Amazfit Balance makes the watch a little more serious for structured running. It also fits with Zepp Health’s recent push into coaching tools, lactate threshold features and more advanced training guidance.

This does not suddenly turn the Balance into a pure running watch. But it does make the platform feel more open to external sensors, which is exactly where a lot of wearable ecosystems need to go. A watch can do plenty on its own, but serious training often benefits from better sensor placement and more specialised accessories.

Digital crown and smaller fixes

The update also adds a new digital crown interaction for Button Mode on the watch face. Rotating the crown up opens Notifications, while rotating it down opens Control Center.

The rest of the change log focuses on fixes and optimisations. Zepp Health says it has improved activity reminders, fixed abnormal pushes when the app was not initialised and improved scoring for Zepp Coach running training plans. You can see the full change-log below.

The update is rolling out now to Amazfit Balance users. As usual, availability may vary by region and app version, so it may not appear for everyone at the exact same time.

An example spotted in Australia shows WHOOP 5.0 listed with a separate AUD$139 device price, alongside an annual membership of AUD$300 for new members. That is different from the familiar WHOOP model, where users pay for membership and the hardware is presented as part of the package.

Another example is Spain. Now you have to pay 69 euro in that country plus 199 euros per year for the cheapest plan.

This does not appear to be a global rollout. WHOOP support has reportedly described it as a limited-time trial in select markets.

“…prices shown on our website are offers specifically for new members. This pricing is part of an ongoing, limited-time trial in select markets. As we learn from this test, availability may change. Please note that any membership purchase remains subject to the specific terms presented during checkout and setup. With this test, the device is purchased first, and the membership is selected separately, which is why the annual membership price is lower than the standard price.” (source)

Why WHOOP might be testing this

There is a reasonable business logic behind the move. Separating the device and membership could give WHOOP more flexibility with regional pricing, promotions and hardware upgrades. It also lets the company show a lower annual membership price in markets where the full subscription cost may feel steep.

That does not necessarily mean users will pay less overall. Or more. It simply changes how the cost is presented. The device becomes a visible upfront purchase, while the membership sits beside it as the ongoing service.

The US looks unchanged for now

The US caveat is important. From what we can see, WHOOP is not testing this separate device pricing in that country at the moment. The device still appears to be included with membership in the usual way. The same applies to most of Europe.

That makes this more of a regional experiment than a firm signal of what WHOOP plans to do everywhere. It may remain limited. It may also give the company useful data on whether people respond better to a lower-looking membership price when the hardware cost is shown separately.

The challenge is keeping the message clear. WHOOP’s value sits in the full platform, not just the strap. If the device and membership are separated too strongly, users may start asking what they own and what remains locked behind the subscription.

For now, this looks like a pricing test. Still, it is worth watching because it shows WHOOP exploring ways to make its membership model more flexible as the screenless recovery tracker space becomes more competitive.

BioCharge gets a broader rethink

Zepp app 10.4.0 introduces HybridCharge as the new version of BioCharge. The app describes it as a daily energy score that combines training and recovery data to assess how ready you are for the day.

The interesting bit is not just the new name. HybridCharge brings subjective inputs into the mix through LifeLoad and RPE. That means Zepp Health is no longer relying only on sleep, heart rate, activity and recovery data. It also wants to know what happened in your actual day.

That is a sensible direction. Wearables can estimate plenty from the wrist, but they still miss context. A watch might see decent sleep and a normal resting heart rate, but it does not automatically know you feel sick, sore, stressed, mentally drained or unusually motivated.

LifeLoad gives the score more context

The new LifeLoad log lets users record daily factors that could affect recovery and readiness. The screenshots show options such as feeling sick, muscle soreness, joint pain, injury, feeling fatigued and feeling energized. Each can be marked as low, medium or high impact.

There is also a chat-style logging option, which could make the feature easier to use if Zepp Health keeps it simple. It might be easier than manual logs whichoften sound useful at launch, then quietly disappear from people’s routines after a week.

Still, the thinking is solid. HybridCharge tries to combine objective signals from the watch with subjective context from the user. That should give the score a better chance of matching how someone actually feels.

Training Focus adds a practical layer

Training Focus is the other useful part of this update. Rather than treating readiness as a single daily score, Zepp Health is now trying to steer users toward the type of training that best fits their recent load.

The app breaks the past seven days into endurance and strength work, with a goal marker showing the intended balance. That should make it easier to spot when training has become too one-sided, especially for users mixing running, gym work and hybrid events.

The Zepp app 10.4.0 notes also mention a HYROX Training Library and HYROX Race Analysis. The Training Library promises structured workouts for different fitness levels and goals, while Race Analysis is designed to review race performance and highlight strengths and weaknesses.

Still early, but worth watching

The rollout still feels unfinished. HybridCharge now appears in the app, but some watches still show BioCharge. That is not a major issue, but it does suggest Zepp Health is changing the app first and will probably clean up the device wording later.

The bigger question is whether users will keep logging LifeLoad events. If they do, HybridCharge could become more useful than BioCharge. If they do not, it may end up as a cleaner name wrapped around a familiar readiness score.
