Comment on Fitbit Air makes more sense alongside Garmin than instead of it by Anonymous

The only reason I disagree with this approach is that I want a holistic view of data. Don’t want two apps where I need to total things between them. I currently have a Fenix paired with an old but still capable Vivosport band. Waiting for the so called Garmin CIRQ but let’s see if the high projected price rules it out as a secondary device.

I use my FitBit Air with my Galaxy Watch 7 (and a Garmin Explorer bicycle computer/GPS). AI (Copilot) helped me set up the three devices to get the data I wanted without duplication. The FitBit Air excels at certain measurements, such as sleep, but lacks a built-in GPS, so it isn’t the best workout tracker.

In reply to Anonymous. Interestingly, that's exactly the same combination I have - 955 + Fitbit Air.

I strongly agree with this article and glad I came upon it. I have been using the Fitbit Air along side my FR955. It has been a pleasant experience. My only hang up is where I want to input my calories/macros (connect+ for now and Google AI Pro so have premium GHealth). The more I think about it, the Fitbit air should have been a ring. This would have been perfect. IMO.

That will mean also the new Fenix 9, am I correct? I do not see an Enduro based on already existing Fenix. It has been arriving with the new Fenix models in the past.

The sleep information often isn’t available until the afternoon. I like to know my sleep details when I wake up. The Google App is terrible and not even comparable to the fitbit. Fitbit had heart rate during sleep, it also included oxygen levels during sleep, I do not see any of this. I am furious and miss Fitbit’s concise and detailed information, presented in a coherent and easy to follow way. Shame on Google Health, it’s terrible.

All important data missing sleep, vitals and hard to use.

Comment on Older Garmin watches miss out on Q2 2026 software features by Whippet

Garmin like to punish early adopters of their products. If the watches still work why not push the upgrade to all.
