Add 'Pixel watch' in the same account with other devices

I just received my new Pixel watch and was disappointed to find out I could no longer use my Versa 3 watch as well. My Pixel watch has a battery life of 24 hours which is not sufficient to get me through a camping weekend. I thought I could switch between the 2. I would be willing to remove all apps from my Versa 3 to get that functionality.

The pixel watch 3 is $400. I'm not risking damaging that thing for every activity. Further, I can't wear my smartwatch at work, but I can wear a standard fit bit. We can harness the power of the atom but one of the most advanced tech companies in the world can't make it so I can seamlessly use 2 of their products. Do they hate money?

They'd probably just rather you break and have to replace their expensive flagship pixel watch.  That is the one reason I refuse to buy the pixel watch.  Instead of taking my money for two products I'll forever continue to just by the tracker.  I need something with actual battery life so I'm not afraid to keep it on for sleep tracking and it being dead when I wake up and need to roll out and something that can take an occasional smack or two while I'm working/exercising, etc.  Would totally buy the pixel watch otherwise and use them both.

Ability to add multiple devices such as my charge 6 and pixel watch to the app at the same time. I bought the charge 6 to track during the time that I am wearing my pixel watch and it is more comfortable to run in.

Please make this change to allow users with two devices for different uses to have both synced on their fitbit account.  I had really hoped to be able to switch between my pixel watch and charge 6, based on the activity I'm doing.

This seems to be a feature users have been asking for for many years.  Everyone seems to have the same use case.  Come on Fitbit @LizzyFitbit.  Fix it already.

Agreed

Would have loved to use the fitbit charge 6 band for tracking my sleep and pixel watch during the day. Suprising can't use 2 fitbit devices.

I know right?!  I'd basically do the same except there are about two days out of the week I'd be wearing my Sense 2 at my second job because it's more manual labor where there's a good chance it would get smacked off something, but for my normal 9-5 through the week and when I'm not sleeping I'd totally be wearing the Pixel watch.

This isn't a feature request as the functionality was already there.  I've had the inspire and charge connected to the account together.  When I activated the watch it replaced the inspire. Now if I want to add the inspire it will only want to replace the watch even though i would prefer it to sit alongside or replace the charge.  We're being gated.

So interestingly in the public preview the app shows all my existing Fitbit devices.  I'm wondering if they may finally be getting to a point where we can use a pixel watch alongside another device like a sense 2.  I sure hope so.  Would be dumb for them to make people choose to only by one or the other.
