#Fitbit sent me an email encouraging my new drum playing habit. "Keep it up!" they said.

How embarassing. Now I have to take my Fitbit off my wrist any time I "play drums".

Bonsoir la communauté Mastodon. Avant de me lancer dans un gouffre de dev, j'aimerais m'assurer qu'il n'existe pas déjà un alternative à l'app #Fitbit depuis le rachat de #Google. Il semblerait que l'API soit toujours dispo donc si je peux éviter de rattacher mon suivi à un #GAFAM, je serais pas contre

Is anyone syncing weight from Fitbit to Garmin?
Whatever I have been using stopped working recently.

#murenaeos3 can anyone help me getting the #fitbit app working on my #Fairphone5 with e/os??

Currently Garmin's tracking device(not watch one) is my only option. #garmin #fitbit

So my Fitbit App just informed me today that I will no longer have access to it unless I’m logged in using a Google account by February 2026!
Enshittification begins!
Actually I think it’s been in progress since Google acquired Fitbit.
A few months ago the App started double counting my steps.
More recently it won’t sync with my Fitbit, unless I restart.
I may be done! #Fitbit #google #enshittification

Google is trying to steal my activity records. #fitbit

Today is the first day without my Fitbit Charge 3 in a while, since my attempt to pair with another device, it unpaired my FC3 and it's display is dead .. the other device would not pair .. so no devices paired.

Heb je een Fitbit? Dan is het handig om te weten dat je alle data kunt synchroniseren met de Gezondheid-app van Apple. Standaard biedt Fitbit geen synchronisatie met HealthKit aan, maar met een workaround lukt he wel!

I once had a #fitbit, it needed replacing
#Apple Watch 3 was cheaper, did more, bought
Apple Watch 7 did ECG which I needed, bought
No longer need ECG, watch battery lasts maybe 25hrs
So I'm going back to my Citizen EcoDrive
It Just Works, can be worn in the shower and charges from light.

Win.

My first major stumbling block: learning how to eat to fuel up for heavy workouts, but I just don’t get hungry anymore…

It’s kinda funny: I’m gonna have to work on eating more in order to lose weight and gain health. That was definitely FAR from the case before last year…

Rebel horrified friends as they set out for a walk

Friends were concerned over the bizarre behaviour. They were dumbfounded when they realised what he had done. This click-bait byline wil not disappoint.

@dangillmor If anyone with a @garmin watch is pissed off about #Garmin retroactively revoking owners' #RightToOwn in favour of #enshittification, or if anyone else is in the market for a new smart watch, ask the #UNAWatch company and its personnel what technical and legal means they will use to guarantee they can never follow Google #Fitbit and Garmin into the same anti-consensual ¹ business model.

A technical guarantee is a hardware-based means to flash the firmware which the firmware itself cannot prevent using, paired with complete published open-access documentation of the hardware for independent developers. A legal guarantee means a permanent and irrevocable commitment to a full refund if the company ever engages in coercive tied selling, as by making use of any watch feature dependent on an online service the feature can function without, on a paid or non-#E2EE online service (save only if the owner opts into sharing data, and then making that data available to those with whom the owner elects to share), or an an online service the owner cannot replace, at the owner's sole discretion, with self-hosting or a competing service of their choice.

¹ The standard word "non-consensual" means the person didn't voluntarily say "yes"; I use "anti-consensual" here to mean the person said "no"—or the perpetrator knew beforehand the person would say "no" if given a chance—and the perpetrator did it anyway. It's bad enough not to ask; companies enshittifying already-purchased goods are instead acting in knowing and direct defiance of owners' refusal. The business model Garmin is adopting, following Fitbit, is actively contemptuous of consent ².

² Burying supposed "consent" in a EULA doesn't ethically count: if the owner cannot effectively refuse the change, or if continued full use of the original functionality—or anything else for which consent isn't strictly necessary (in the GDPR sense)—is conditioned on supposed "consent," then it isn't freely given, and so isn't valid consent.

Little help from the Fitness folk out there please.
Ran an experiment with Google Fit and Strava at the same time. Steps and Distance are accurate'ish, but the difference in calories burned between the two apps is rather huge.
Google Fit also has this habit of dropping the amount of calories over time. When first finished it'd be 126, then 106, and now 81.
I guess different formulas are used, but which is more accurate?

I lost/misplaced my watch and the find my #Fitbit app was next to useless, telling me the closest point was the front window while the device was on a bedroom chair in the rear of our house. I knew I switched it to my right wrist when I left work so 90% sure it was at home.
