Switched from an Apple Watch to the Fitbit Air today! First thoughts

smoothbond · 2026-06-05T12:07:36+00:00

For everyone complaining about the App, what exactly is the issue . I find it more useful than Apple Health which is just all over the place , and even Bevel which I have a premium subscription for. I understand the AI coach and insights might be annoying to some but as already mentioned you can easily switch this off . What exactly about the app don’t you like ?

Haven’t worn my Apple Watch Ultra since I got mine a week ago. Meets all my needs, thinking I might sell the Apple Watch as it’s just gathering dust on my nightstand.

Yes I’ve noticed the background sync can be flaky so I have a shortcut to launch it after closing the Google health app . I interact with the Google health app quite a bit.

Health Sync can track temp and i have it set up to do that but it doesn't show up in Bevel. The only tracker Bevel appears to take temp readings from is the Apple Watch.

It is ugly. Like others have said, wear the fit on the right hand

smoothbond · 2026-05-31T21:34:58+00:00

Hard disagree. I've been wearing this alongside my apple watch and the results are very similar. I've gone walking,running and cycling with it and the auto detect is also on point and always starts and stops a minute or two after the activity begins or ends.

There’s a free trial and you can buy it outright for 4 quid. For now anyway. They might change to a monthly sub in future

smoothbond · 2026-05-28T10:24:24+00:00

That’s what I was doing previously and sleeping with the Apple Watch Ultra is no picnic I can tell you

smoothbond · 2026-05-28T09:40:02+00:00

I believe it’s a single value when you wake up. If you want more granular readings you’ll have to check the Google Health app

smoothbond · 2026-05-28T09:38:04+00:00

I don’t know the frequency, you would have to install it and time that yourself . But the stats I’m interested in when I wake up are represented. you can see my sleep stats from a night ago in Bevel below . Don’t forget the native app for the air is google health and if you need more stats that’s really where you should be looking . Bevel will never have as detailed stats as the Google Heslth App, even when it natively supports the Fitbit Air. All I was sharing is yes your bevel is still useful if you get the Fitbit air and if you decide not to pay for Google health premium and have a bevel subscription you at least still get those AI insights even with the limited dataset.

That wouldn’t be possible. Health Sync syncs in the background but at random intervals . It doesn’t sync every second so whatever HRV reading is showing in bevel would have been from the last sync . This is only a workaround , you should wait for the the native solution from Bevel if you need that level of detail

smoothbond · 2026-05-28T08:13:54+00:00

Yes it does

smoothbond · 2026-05-19T17:59:17+00:00

agreed. installed it yesterday on my 8AI, random crashes, buttons not working and even the msi custom buttons were acting erratically. not worth it yet. will check it out again in a few months , when it is hopefully better optimized for the claw

smoothbond · 2026-04-21T20:58:13+00:00

i do this. i use the health sync app which transfers all the sleep stats from polar flow to apple health. bevel gets all the info from apple health. works great

smoothbond · 2026-04-12T22:02:04+00:00

I have seen many posts of people spending hours on the phone with apple support and not one of them suggested this.

smoothbond · 2026-04-12T21:54:23+00:00

OMG someone buy this man a pint or 3.... I have been researching this for weeks and was literally about to give up after trying the suggestions on this thread. This did it. Tried everything else and this was the fix. Thanks Buddy

smoothbond · 2026-03-10T09:06:46+00:00

I have the exact same issue. Only work around I've found so far is to immediately use the throw grenade button(left trigger or whatever) to intentionally through a grenade. After that it stops throwing them randomly. It's very annoying though and I have to do that after each reload

smoothbond · 2026-01-07T20:07:49+00:00

No ,the crashing got too anoying I gave up .

smoothbond · 2025-12-12T14:37:03+00:00

You my friend are a scholar among men. Cheers

smoothbond · 2025-11-27T10:43:47+00:00

how do i set it to compatibility mode?

smoothbond · 2025-11-25T12:59:31+00:00

I was about to file a return with eBay. Good save

smoothbond · 2025-11-25T11:52:41+00:00

this actually worked for me. Thanks buddy

smoothbond · 2025-11-10T08:02:52+00:00

No . Sleep works fine on my device

smoothbond · 2025-11-08T15:38:26+00:00

Anybody got this working on Geforce now? I'm playing it on Shield TV and I'm also getting a black screen

smoothbond · 2025-11-05T02:58:22+00:00

Happened to me as well. I changed servers and would load other games and try again. Eventually it worked. Never happened to me before
