Fitbit is making strides in improving its app. Recently, they redesigned the settings page for their smartwatches and trackers. This update brings a fresh look and a user-friendly interface.
When you open the updated settings page, you’ll see a larger preview of your device and current watch face. Key information like connection status, battery level, and last sync time is right at the top. The sync button is now conveniently located in the top-right corner. This is a big change from the previous design, which had been around for years.
In the new layout, users can find cards for Watch Faces, Apps, and Tiles. This design takes inspiration from the Pixel Watch companion app for Wear OS. Tapping on these will lead you to the same management options as before.
Importantly, the settings menu on devices like the Fitbit Sense 2 includes:
- Notifications: Manage calls, texts, and app alerts.
- Device Preferences: Customize wrist settings and device lock options.
- Google Integration: Access Wallet and Maps.
- Fitbit Alerts: Set reminders to move and get alerts for heart rate changes.
- Support Options: Access tutorials and help guides.
- System Settings: Control software updates and device connection.
- Smart Features: Use Amazon Alexa and make calls from your wrist.
The redesign is also rolling out to Fitbit trackers. Users are likely to appreciate the modernized experience that aligns with current design trends.
Over the past year, Fitbit has been revamping the overall user interface. From updated health stats to improved app settings, they’re focused on providing a more cohesive and attractive experience. However, food logging remains a notable feature still awaiting a redesign.
According to recent surveys, users are increasingly looking for health tech that balances functionality with aesthetics. A 2023 study found that 72% of users prioritize ease of use in health apps, highlighting how important it is for Fitbit to continue enhancing its interface.
There’s also buzz about Fitbit’s upcoming Material 3 redesign for Android, which may introduce dark themes and additional features. This aligns with a growing trend among apps to provide more customization options for users.
With these updates, Fitbit aims to remain competitive in the health tech space. As users embrace technology for fitness tracking, streamlined apps will play a crucial role in their overall experience.
