Latest advancements on Pixel Watches

[StefanieFitbit]

Hey Fitbit Community,

We're thrilled to announce the latest update for your Pixel Watches, bringing exciting new features and improvements.

Let's explore what’s new!

Loss of Pulse Detection: US expansion
Loss of Pulse Detection on Pixel Watch 3 recently received U.S. FDA clearance, which will begin to roll out at the end of March. It can detect when someone’s heart suddenly stops beating from an event like primary cardiac arrest,1 respiratory or circulatory failure, overdose or poisoning, and automatically prompt a call to emergency services for potentially life-saving care if you are unresponsive.2

Menstrual Health Support
Available via Playstore update for the Pixel Watch 3, the Fitbit app now makes it more convenient than ever to track your menstrual cycle on your Pixel Watch. You can easily log periods, view your current cycle status, and see predictions for your next period.

Step Count Enhancements
Within this release we have updated our steps algorithm to take our step tracking for all Pixel Watches to a new level by focusing on precision even in challenging situations. Whether you're pushing a shopping cart, navigating in a wheelchair, or going on walk/run with a stroller, this improved algorithm ensures your steps are counted with exceptional accuracy. 

Expansion of Auto-bedtime mode on device
Auto-bedtime mode – first launched on Pixel Watch 3 – is now expanding to Pixel Watch 2 to detect when you fall asleep to disable notifications and minimize distractions. This also helps conserve your battery overnight, and it senses when you wake up to turn off Bedtime Mode.
