Build Cardio Fitness tile set not appearing and no reference to Cardio Load

[Jensta]

Hi,

I have been waiting patiently for all the daily readiness score issues to resolve and I am still using the “edit sleep” hack sometimes to get my score to appear. But there is another issue that is just not getting resolved. There is meant to be a new “tile” that you can put on your Home Screen under Set Your Focus called “Build Cardio Fitness”. This tile does not appear as an option for me (never has since the new Daily Readiness score changes were made). Even if I build this tile manually, the Daily Readiness is not showing the suggested “Cardio Load” for the day. Is anyone else seeing this particular detail since the change was made? I cannot find it even in the Daily Readiness score screen. It is a feature that is meant to be there but isn’t appearing. 
Fitbit - please help and advise!!! 

See screenshot of your help article and my screen showing no reference to target Cardio Load for the day. 

Help Article 

Self built Focus (as tile under Set Your Focus doesn’t exist for me). 
No reference to suggested Cardio Load at all, just the readiness score is showing.

@Jensta  Cardio load is only available on the Pixel Watch 3.  I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with your readiness score issue.

Thanks for your reply but that isn’t what the instructions/help article says. The instructions certainly tell you a different way to see it on your Pixel but above the Pixel instructions in the Help article are the instructions to see it for all other users in the App and that is what I am reporting as not working.

@Jensta   There is a statement in a tinted box just below the cardio load and target load description in the Help Article.  It is only available on the PW3.

@LZeeW Thank you for that reference. I agree - it absolutely states it clearly regarding Pixel 3. 👍🏻. What I don’t understand is the other reference that I found which is contradictory to what you have found. This area of the Help is different to what you found and has caused the confusion. Refer link below:

@Jensta   I agree with you that the explanation is confusing.  You can give feedback to Fitbit/Google on this specific topic.  There is a "Was this helpful?" option at the bottom of the page.  Tap on No and you can describe your confusion.  I use this when I find errors and/or confusing descriptions.

According to this article in Gadgets & Wearables, the Cardio Load features are coming to all Fitbits that can give a readiness score.  Roll out is supposed to start December 9.  It is a Premium feature on the PW3.  The article doesn't mention anything about Premium for this new change.

Thank you so much @LZeeW  for providing this information! Super helpful 👍🏻.

@Jensta I have a Pixel Watch 3, but it's not the only device I use. Often, when I get tired of having to charge the Pixel Watch every day, I'll switch to a Fitbit with better battery life.

"Build Cardio Fitness" is currently only available for the Pixel Watch 3. If I switch to another device, I don't get Cardio Load data anymore. I can keep that focus option but, if I change it, I can't change back unless I go back to the Pixel Watch 3.

It appears that Cardio Load is coming to more devices, so I think that focus option will become available to you then. That was what happened when the Cardio Load feature initially came to the Pixel Watch 3.
