Integrate with Apple Watch

The options available for wearing your FitBit with business casual clothing is extremely limited. Please partner with Apple & allow us to use the Apple Watch to track our steps for a premium subscription. I love the APP & currently proudly wear my flex daily, but would really like the option available when the Apple Watch is released.

Please add Apple Watch support for tracking steps and other activity! I would start using FitBit again if they integrated it with Apple Watch.

Eleven pages of comments from people requesting this seems pretty compelling.

I wish there was a way to get these threads seen again.

Is there a place where they actually respond? If so, we can post there and redirect them here so they see how many people want this. They recently reported bad earnings and their stock dropped. I would think poor customer service in ignoring all of us definitely sheds light on why that may have happened.

Hi!
I emailed them originally and they said post to the forum- so I did. About 6 months ago they sent me a message saying... we're working on it! I'm assuming that's somewhere in the feed but this has been up for quite some time and had lots of comments. Agreed an update would be nice! I'll see if I can post a new forum/comment referencing this feed for an update. Fingers crossed it's soon! I miss the competitions... thanks for posting!

I love the Fitbit challenges and my Fitbit has really gotten me to move more. However, I know within a year or so I will be upgrading to a apple watch. I run and the GPS, water proof and syncing features on the Apple Watch are just too important. Like others said, I'd also pay for a premium app to use my Apple Watch with my Fitbit app.

Thanks in advance!!!

Simply having the Fitbit app on the Apple Watch would be great. I have a Flex 2 and being able to check my progress without having to pull out my phone would be fantastic.

I think this is a great idea!  While I understand Fitbit's main revenue source is devices, make this a premium feature.  Either charge a small fee (say $1 - $0.50/month) or bundle it with Fitbit Premium.  Most of my friends are in the Fitbit ecosystem, so I like to compete with them.  But I also want to wear a premium smart watch.  I feel there are plenty of other folks in this camp.

 

And the folks looking for that premium device, are far more likely to simply dump your platform all together; vs. having two devices.  Similar to how Facebook works, you're success is hugely linked to having a high-percentage of like-minded folks on your system.  By effectively excluding a big chunk, you'll end up hurting your bottom line on the long term.

I am abandoning the Fitbit platform since they will not integrate with Apple Watch. I'll be using Stridekick which allows you to compete with folks using any device.

I'll check out Stridekick. I've started using Myfitnesspal. It's disappointing that there hasn't been any response from Fitbit one way or the other on this.

I'm still wearing both and will do until my Fitbit One dies (or gets lost). The challenges matter less to me as time goes by though as a lot of the people I used to compete with have left Fitbit. Right now I'd still consider paying for Premium if it allowed steps from my Watch to count for challenges but I'm less keen than I was and if it doesn't happen soon I'll probably be gone.

I'll definitely check out Stridekick; that sounds interesting!

I have loved the Fitbit app and the challenges but now that I have my Apple Watch I feel left out! I am still walking but can't connect with the same people. It's just sad! Please address this!

I found an app called Stridekick that I joined. You can do challenges with anyone regardless of device.

Please inegrate the fitbit app with the Apple Watch. There is not to my knowledge an app for the Apple Watch that provides the level of full day activity tracking that is part of the Fitbit app. Specifically, I dont like having to go to the activity app to see my daily activity, then go to the health app to see my heart rate data. Furthermore, the health app doesnt even come close to providing adequate and visual heart rate data like the Fitbit app does. Some other Apple Watch Apps provide good visuals for heart rate data during workouts, but not for daily activity. As far as I can tell the Fitbit app is the best all encompassing health app out there. I would even consider paying a reasonable subscription fee for a non-fitbit device to use the app.

Love the app interface from FitBit, but would also love to have the option to use an Apple Watch to track my life, runs, swims, etc.

Fitbit, you have lost me as a user and cutomer until you support Apple Watch.

I will never give up my dress watches in favor of an Apple Watch.  I would however like to wear the Apple Watch intermittently, and desire to use Apple Health for other health measurements.    In order to have all my data in one consolidated place, I need Toby and Apple to integrate.  Please don't make me choose one or the other.

Please allow Fitbit app to sync steps from Apple Watch. I enjoy the challenges but much prefer my Apple Watch to the Fitbit. Thanks!

Please integrate Apple Watch or HealthKit steps with Fitbit app.

I would love it if the Fitbit app worked with the Apple Watch! Can you make it compatible and just charge for the app if you want to sync with the Apple Watch? Let's all try to work together.
