Why is my Google pixel watch not detecting sleep automatically

[JazzBebe]

When I go into the Fitbit app and guesstimate bed time and wake time then Fitbit register sleep phases etc but nothing is being recorded automatically. 

I am wearing the band tight

@JazzBebe I find that, when my Pixel Watch is misbehaving, it is missing an update somewhere. Are all the apps on your Watch updated, as well as the Fitbit and Watch apps on your phone?  Have you have received the most recent Pixel Watch firmware update? I know that there is a firmware update rolling out currently, but many of us are still waiting for it to come to us.

Hello @JazzBebe 

There have been several Pixel watch users who reported that their watches (1 & 2) are not automatically tracking their sleep. One user subsequently reported that their watch started tracking their sleep after they installed Fitbit Android app update to version 4.08.

The updates tend to roll out gradually. Hopefully, your issue with sleep tracking will be fixed when you install app version 4.08.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Can you please tell me how to upgrade? I just cannot find it

Hi @JazzBebe 

The Fitbit app update would be available from the Google Play Store. You would have to check to see if there's an update available by looking under Manage Apps in the Google Play Store app on your phone.
