Sleep data with new layout

[Susanhill1910]

I suppose there was an update. The app presents sleep data differently.  Have others noticed this?

I miss seeing how long episodes of awake, light, REM and deep sleep are

Maybe everyone could post on Facebook.  This may reach people.

Buy cheap generic. All the "Smartphones are  manufactured in the same Chinese industrial area, as are all the other "super-duper OMG -What brand is that?' ....and did you pay $300.00.or more? As are the "Branded" Big Marketing Oligarchsists: like BigFruity, Gmanly, FormerlyFit, PixelBaby, etc & bs

Do your due diligence ... 😏 my many friends, indeed.

Thanks.there's some truth to that; but you get what you pay for. People buy
cheap Chinese stuff and they know we'll never bother to return something or
ask for our money back if it stops working in a month. Buying legitimate
smartwatches, especially made in the U.S. will have warranties and easy
returns if you get a lemon.



Also, when looking for any smartwatch it's important to know what the
battery life is. My Fitbit, which I now hate, was my first watch so I
thought that almost three days on the battery was normal. I just saw reviews
of the new Galaxy6 which stated only one day on the battery which would
drive me crazy. Certainly the Chinese models would have poor battery life.

So, I understand you eagerness to buy cheap, but spending a little more for
something that lasts many years can be cheaper in the long run than having
to replace a cheapie annually; not to mention they may have better features.



Just sayin'..

[Deedot1913]

Would normally agree, as I love high quality products, that are warranted with their  appropriately high price tags.

Not so with Smartwatches. All come from  the same factory in China. My $31 generic battery is lasting 4 days on full mode; 7 days on battery saving mode. So your "intelligencia" argument fails on all levels.

SOOO: Hey, Big-Bucks-Bots: go ahead and spend 10x the Buckaroos for essentially the same product, or test the $31 model yourself. ... big guy, gal, he, she, it, they, them, mommy, daddy, etc. Sorry, if I missed some recommended pro nouns.... much love 💜

[Counselor123]

No argument at all. Just responding to your comment to do “due diligence”.



I prefer to bite the bullet and spend more buying a U.S. made product; I’m tired of giving Chine my money and having their products break down with no recourse. There are ten known U.S. made smartwatches and I’d rather have one for years than several cheapies as they break down.



To each their own.

I'm inclined to agree. I have been encouraging my friend to get a FitBit for some time now. She wasn't sure about it so she purchased a "cheapie" off the jungle app for about $30 CAD and I was super surprised that she had very similar functionality to OG FitBit for a fraction of the cost. Including the impressive battery time. Not bad to test out how well you like the tech. Makes me feel a bit like a sucker when I paid 10x as much and keep getting downgrades.

[Counselor123]

But live with for a few weeks and see what the accuracy is. That's important as well. That's just the display which can copy any other display but the actual accuracy of how many hours you're sleeping, the four stages of sleep, Etc
Good luck

The sleep tracking on the new version of the app is no good. I hate it. 
please bring back the old version.

Back again to ask about the latest "update" that appeared in the Play Store (again).  It was there a couple days ago and quickly disappeared.  At 3.6M it claims to be bug fixes and performance improvements but also now states that it requires Android 10 or later to work.  I'm totally averse to installing any new update for fear of what additionally might have been vandalized in the application, so I'm waiting for reports from those who haven't yet turned off auto update.

How did you do that ?

How did you do it

[Pebbles523]

I'm really 😔. I cannot believe they took a great set up for the sleep patterns and turned them into a confusing mess. I so when it first happened everyone was saying the same thing. I had several of my posts removed, because I was responding to other people, agreeing that it's now "garbage". I was just getting ready to upgrade to premium and now I'm glad I didn't. The chart won't even upload now. It's very hard to follow. Do you agree? 

[Pebbles523]

Yes I miss it too. I really dislike the new layout. I know they have had 1,000's of complaints. Any ideas on how we can get them to put it back. I mean it's a simple revamp on the Java script. Some people said they can't put it back now that they upgraded it, but that's not true. They can write a new script with the same stuff it had and still tweak it a little if they think it will be better, but from what I've read... People are just as angry as I am. 😢 

[Pebbles523]

I've said the same thing, but someone said that they can't. That's not true. All they have to do is rewrite the script to appear the way it was and maybe keep some new stuff, but it can be done. It won't even load anymore. The sleep app was one of the main reasons my son bought me the watch. I don't do messaging or phone calls. Haven't learned how to do all that yet. Haven't had the patients, but the sleep info and the other info were very important to me. 😢 

[JohnVee]

Totally agree. It looks as if it has changed sleep recording yet again. It doesn’t count ‘restless’ even though you’re still asleep. This means there is no sleep score. 

[PeterSydMan24]

The old one was great, how do I go back to that one?

[Georgio1]

The new sleep data graphs/analytics appear no longer user-friendly. The previous block colour blue red graphs were so much easier to deal with. Why have Fitbit changed this? 

[Georgeb88]

I very much dislike the new sleep score dashboard. I used to be able to see everything I wanted to see on one screen. Now I feel like I have to click through multiple screens to see and understand the data. Bad update in my opinion.

[EchoSierra315]

Is that why I've had no sleep score for the last two nights? 

[Joma146]

 I hate the new sleep layout. Hate it. It's way harder to read at a glance. If I wake up for a little bit in the middle of the night and then go back to sleep, it doesn't add the sleep times together.  I have used Fitbit for many years. I've been disappointed for a long time. But this "upgrade" is the worst. I'm ready to replace my charge 5. I'm seriously considering a different brand of tracker altogether. I'm sure I can find what I need for less money.
