Can not keep Heartbeat tile on Google 2 watch display when excercising.

THer display keeps turning, sleeping.  I want to keep the Heartbeat on the watch display during exercise so I can monitor my heart rate on the treadmill.  The screen keeps going blank, really annoying.  I am finishing my free Fit-bit trial.  On the Google watch no Oxygen Reading real time, too much useless information so probably will not extend the trial.

It would be nice if the watch display would stay on during exercise using fit-bit.

How about setting your phone fitbit screen in front of you on treadmill?

Hello @gvcc 

If you want to see your heart rate during your exercise, consider turning on the Always on Display on the Pixel watch during your workout. That would prevent the screen from going to sleep and you should be able to see your heart rate on the Exercise tile. Then, turn off the Always on Display after you finish your exercise. Just be aware that you'll probably see an increase in battery usage if you decide to use this option.

The Pixel Watch currently doesn't track SpO2 in real time. As far as I know, none of the Fitbit devices track SpO2 in real time.

Thanks, when I turn on always on the display switches to the a digital time that is always on, and the screen is greatly dimmed.

Hi @gvcc 

Thank you for your response and feedback.

• How are you currently monitoring your heart rate during your treadmill sessions?
• Are you using the Fitbit Exercise app or Exercise quick launch tile (Fitbit) on your Pixel Watch 2?
• Which watch face are you using?

I turned on Always on Display on my Pixel Watch 2 and started a workout using the Exercise quick launch tile. The exercise display opened, which showed my heart rate in real time as well as the corresponding heart rate zone.

I added the Daily heart rate tile to my watch and was able to see my real time heart rate without any issues with Always on Display enabled.

The clock face I use is Utility with Heart rate in one of the Complications slots so I can see my heart rate in real time. Having Always on Display didn't affect the ability to see my real time heart rate.

Based on this quick testing, I think there are available options to give you the information you want during your workout sessions.
