Fitbit Air pairing failure forced early Google Health app update

Google shipped the Fitbit Air before the Android app that runs it was ready, leaving buyers with a tracker they could not set up. That forced an emergency software update. Meanwhile, Pixel Watch users were quietly getting false calorie counts, a bug that could push someone to eat more or train harder based on numbers that were simply wrong. Rushing hardware out the door and patching software behind it is a choice, and Fitbit users are the ones absorbing the cost.
