Hi @Luke35  from what I've seen online it's just a name change. Pixel seems to be the new name for the phones and the watches. You can learn more when Fitbit has news and posts it on their Blog.

Hello @Luke35 

From what I read, it seems that Google may not be making new versions of the Fitbit smartwatches models, Sense & Versa. Instead, they will continue to integrate Fitbit features with the Pixel watches.

Honestly, I think that's a good move. From the Sense & Versa feature requests that I've seen, the users are wanting a true smartwatch with access to 3rd party apps.

One of the articles that I read seemed to indicate that there will still be Fitbit trackers. I'm thinking the Charge line will continue as well as the Inspire line & the child's Ace.

That said, we'll just have to watch the Fitbit blogs and tech site articles to see what the future holds.

Oh ok do you know if Google will keep the Fitbit weying scales that you wey your salf on going?

Hi @Luke35 

Sorry, I personally haven't heard anything about the scales.

Also, as you might have seen in the latest Fitbit blog (<-- click link), new features are being rolled out to the Sense 2 & Versa 4, as well as Inspire 3 & Charge 6. With this news, this seems to indicate that Google is still working on & improving Fitbit smartwatch models. So, those articles that you've seen about Google dropping the Fitbit smartwatches & only focusing on trackers don't seem to be accurate.

The best place to get information on Fitbit is the Community blog posts.
