i have a pixel watch and a pixel phone with the fit bit app on both.

is there any way to see real time data on the phone from the sensors on the watch?

i would like to be able to see my heart rate as i use a rowing machine with out having  to let go of the handle.

thanks George

@Cyclops531   The Fitbit app should show real time heart rate.  The best way to see your heart rate from the app is to change your Focus.  Tap on the edit (pencil) icon in the upper right then slide the focus area left/right to see options.  There is an Improve heart health option that has the heart rate at the top (largest) icon.  I created a Custom screen to better meet my needs.

I prop my phone on the equipment, so I can see my live heart rate.  My iPhone has display zoom and it certainly makes things larger.  I'm confident that Android has a similar setting.

Thanks, kinda an old fart and tech isn't usually my friend.
Appreciate the help.

@Cyclops531 @LZeeW Pixel Watches do not show real-time heart rate in the Fitbit app. Fitbit devices do and I agree that it would be nice to have that feature with a Pixel Watch too. There is a feature suggestion that you may want to vote for and comment on.

@Cyclops531   Sorry for my mistake.

So the phone will not mirror the watch.

As far as I can tell my watch is giving me real time data.

Watch is only 11/2 old.

Thanks have a good weekend.

@Cyclops531 if you are using a Pixel Watch, the watch will show your heart rate in real time, but the Fitbit app will not. If you are using a Fitbit, both the Fitbit device and the app will show your real-time heart rate.

Thanks for the info.
