Is fitbit app premium version worth it?

[b1osch]

Hi , how has been your experience like with the premium version of the fitbit app? I am a new user to the pixel watch. Without paying for the premium I do get the sleep readiness score, stress management score, history etc.

I do not plan to use any guided workouts from the app nor am I a runner. I usually go to a sports center and do workouts.

Is the extra analysis that fitbit claims to provide in the premium version and the features worth it?

Hi @b1osch.  Based on what you wrote, I say a strong no to Premium as it exists right now.  Fitbit/Google is in the process of building a Personal Health Coach.  As an iPhone user, I don't have access to the Public Preview, but I feel like you will be able to build better workouts that you do on your own -- if this is important to you.

@b1osch your Pixel Watch comes with a free 6-month Fitbit Premium trial. Why not sign up for that? If you decide it's not for you, cancel it  before the end of the trial and you won't be charged.

Honestly, Fitbit Premium doesn’t feel worth it at the moment. I just got a Pixel 4 with the trial, and the app is frustrating — data is scattered, and the menus are confusing. Compared to my wife’s Garmin Venu 3 app, Fitbit user experience is really disappointing. Hopefully, the next update improves things, because the software really drags the overall experience down.

I know what you mean, My main issue with fitbit at this point is the loss of the dashboard from my browser. I hate using a touch screen in order to find what I am looking for. I hate, that I have to use 3rd party software to get what use to be a feature. The idea behind the change was data safety and user experience. I am not sure how any of that has happened with this change. As others have said, things break in the app, I have a hard time paying for it at this point. I use the free 6 months every few years when I get a new watch, and the same day cancel it to avoid paying. If things do not get better, I might have to leave fitbit.
