Fitbit can be a brand that is the lowest in people’s mind as Google started killing some fitbit facilities after obtaining the company in $ 2.1 billion in 2021.
But the fitness tracking company is away from the dead. In fact, it released just a huge sleep tracking update that changes the way you sleep.
And it turns out that changes are actually reduced user scores. This is by design, because new changes are more accurate. In most cases, it appears that the fitbit was already scoring too much, so the new metric is aimed at excluding things and bringing the score into a more accurate range.
But this does not mean that users of the best fit sites are happy about it.
What is happening with fitbit’s sleep tracking?
Fitbit in a post on it Community websiteThe company said, “We have updated our tracking technology. It is to provide a more accurate measurement of your sleep stages. Our goal is to always give you a clear and most accurate scene about your health.
“For example, you can increase your awakened time slightly because now we occupy a brief awakening to remember the old system. This is a common part of sleep.”
If the tracking is capturing the more awakened time during those brief periods, then naturally, your sleep score will also fall. And while it is easy to bother that the score you are using to see is different, fitbit also noted that it is a more accurate representation of your sleep.
“Now the sleep data you see is a more accurate reflection of your night’s comfort. This more detailed data will help you understand better how your body is recovering every night,” reads the post.
Obviously, this is not the end of the update of the fitbit for sleep tracking. “This is the first step in a series of upcoming reforms to improve our sleep tracking – so as soon as they are, stay to hear about these changes,” reads the blog.
Some users have taken Fitbit community forum To complain, which probably inspires the company to post its explanation. A user reads complaints, “After several weeks of fruitless results, I was confirmed that they quietly sold the algorithm, as well as to add restless =” new waking up “results dramatically increase and my sleep scores are now in the 60s and 70s.”
“Have you seen a decline of 10 to 20 points in your sleep score? If yes, it is related to the new algorithm that they have changed in late June,” another explained.
It will be interesting to see what is next for fitbit in sleep tracking space. The users will eventually become accustomed to the new score, but for now, it is a little discouraged to see the sleep score that they have worked so hard to suddenly deteriorate.
