Fitbit also lowered the paywall - you can now access the Health Metrics dashboard without a payed subscription.

scott, 11 Feb 2021Is this a software-only update or also a change in the band?I talked to customer support at 4pm on thursday 4/29/21.

They tell me that Spo2 will be fixed/Enabled on my fitbit 4 charge with a new revision.

They would not estimate months or years wait for new revision

When I asked to be compensated the offshore(?) Person just said they can not compensate.

I'll go to BBB. I will not wait for fitbit warranty to expire.

How stupid can the be?

Good luck to all who stay with fitbit.

Thanks

        I bought one after reading articles like this one and I still cant access SPO2 and temperature.
        Is it because I am based in the UK?

          The only thing to keep in mind is to have the Fitbit app on your phone updated.

          So even if your friend right beside you has a new update, you may or may not see it right away, sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for everyone to have it.

              How do I get my Fitbit Charge 4 functions updated to have SpO2 and Skin Temperature °C shown? So far I see nothing.

                  Skintemperature is great. Just wondering why they dont implemented this in the first place when the Charge 3/4 were released (same Hardware except for the GPS).

                  The only thing i could imagine is that the bands got no real temperature sensor but calculating it on a weird way to nearing the actual temperature via Infrared or so... .

                  Funny Fitbit company, i am wondering if the update comes to Charge 3 also.

                  And those price models where i only can watch my own data for one week if i dont pay is mindboggling xD

                    Skin temperature? What the hell is that? Fit5 will even auto dial 911 for you. These junk gadget is for hardware like Facebook for software - useless.

                            What's the firmware version number for this update? I'm not seeing the update, and neither this article nor the Wearable article mention it.

                                    Are the on-the-wrist SPO2 levels just daily/nightly summaries? Or are they "real time"?

                                        Fitbit will be dissolved into google products and will slowly die... Too bad, I considered them one of the better trackers.
