The Short Version
Google's forced migration from Fitbit to Google Health launched with a calorie bug, a broken AI opt-out, and Fitbit Air owners unable to use their trackers until an emergency app update.
Google replaced the Fitbit app with Google Health before the software could do what Fitbit always did. Pixel Watch users got a calorie-counting bug that fed them wrong health data. Fitbit Air owners received a physical tracker with no working app to pair it to. An AI coach users explicitly turned off got switched back on without their permission. Google's own May 27 roadmap admitted the dashboard layout was incomplete at launch. Fitbit built its reputation on one thing: accurate, readable workout data. Google shipped without it.
