Improved sleep analysis on your Fitbit leads to a reported increase in your reported wakeful periods during the night

Fitbit has announced an update to its sleep tracking feature, aimed at enhancing the accuracy of night's rest measurement for a better understanding of the body's recovery. The update, which has been specifically reported on the Fitbit Charge 6, is a part of a series of upcoming improvements according to a recent community communication.

The update is designed for Fitbit models with sleep tracking capabilities, but the company has not released an official, detailed list specifying which exact models support the update. However, it is likely that older and current popular models like the Charge and Inspire series are included.

Fitbit Premium users also benefit from enhanced sleep analytics, but this is a service layer separate from device firmware updates. The update involves tweaks to how Fitbit tracks sleep for improved accuracy, detecting more awake moments during the night.

Leaks suggest that the price of the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 4 will remain the same. Fitbit might be included in the upcoming Made By Google event, potentially as part of a wider Pixel Watch discussion. The event, scheduled for August 20 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 3am AEST, is expected to focus on "the latest additions to Google's Pixel Portfolio of devices."

Rumors indicate that the Google Pixel Watch 4 may have a bigger battery, possibly for a brighter screen. Despite the recent fix for a major outage, some users are still reporting problems with Fitbit devices. Google still sells the Fitbit Charge 6, Inspire 3, Sense 2, and Versa 4.

It's important to note that while the update has been specifically reported on the Fitbit Charge 6, Fitbit has not explicitly confirmed whether other models will be supported. Users with newer models like the Charge 6 have noticed changes in their sleep metrics, such as increased recorded awake time during the night.

In summary, Fitbit's sleep tracking update aims to improve accuracy, but the company has not yet released a comprehensive list of supported models. Older and current popular models like the Charge and Inspire series are likely included, but specific models haven't been clarified. The update is expected to support the Fitbit Charge 6, Inspire 3, Sense 2, and Versa 4, and potentially other models as well. Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about the future of Fitbit and the Google Pixel Watch 4.
