Fitbit Coach Update for the Ionic

[amfeather]

I was ambivalent about Fitbit OS 2.0 until I saw the changes to Fitbit Coach. The watch app is now in sync with the smartphone app and it seems to work really well! This is exactly what the Ionic needed.

Hopefully, it is not presumptuous for me to introduce the topic here since this is specific to the Ionic!

I just got the update and will check this out. Thanks!

Really?! Mine looks just the same as it did before, but I updated to 2.0 yesterday!

Same with mine, and I just got an update for the Coach app too. Maybe their rolling it out in phases?

@amfeatherwhat was the last update date on your version of Coach? Mine says it was last updated March 2nd

I believe that in order to access the additional functionality you are required to connect your Fitbit and Fitbit Coach accounts. Without connecting the accounts you can only get the three standard workout programs. You may need to sync your watch and phone. As I understand it, you can get personalized workout programs without the premium membership (but the membership gets you more).

My current versions for all involved applications are:

Fitbit Phone App: 2.47

Fitbit Coach Phone App: 4.1.1

Fitbit Coach Watch App: 32.4.19

I noticed the functionality today (March 20th) and received the Fitbit OS update yesterday (March 19th).

Strange, I'm actually on new version of the Coach Phone App (4.2) and the Fitbit App (Beta 2.68) but the watch app is the same version. I've linked the acounts a while ago and am on premium. Maybe it just takes time to sync up.

I'll leave it till later in the week and see what happens, but I'm looking forward too it 🙂
