✨ Changing to Google Health
As Fitbit transitions the app to Google Health, rest assured that our integration remains the same. Currently, in the Cronometer app, you’ll still have the option to connect to Fitbit, however, this will be changed to Google Health in the near future.
Many of our users know that we’ve been supporting a Fitbit integration for a long time now – almost a decade!
It’s our most popular device integration and we couldn’t be happier to sync Fitbit data into our app so users can dive deeper into their health.
How Our Fitbit/Google Health Integration Works
Once connected, the app will automatically pull the data into your Diary. You can use the ‘Force Sync’ feature to import data from prior days.
You’ll be able to import the following metrics from Fitbit/Google Health:
- Respiration Rate – new!
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – new!
- VO2 Max – new!
- Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) – new!
- Skin Temperature – new!
- Core Temperature – new!
- Sleep Stage
- Weight
- Heart Rate
- Body Fat
- Daily Activity & Workouts
- Nutrients
- Water
How To Sync Your Fitbit With Cronometer
Sync your Fitbit/Google Health data with your Cronometer account by navigating to the ‘More’ section of the app. On mobile, tap More > Connect Apps & Devices > Devices.
On the web version click More > Devices. Select Fitbit from the list of available devices, select which metrics you’d like to sync into Cronometer and follow the prompts to link with your Fitbit account.
Leveraging Your Fitbit/Google Health Data
Once you have data importing from your Fitbit/Google Health account, don’t just let it sit around on your Diary screen!
Cronometer Gold subscribers have access to Custom Charts, which will allow you to chart your Fitbit/Google Health metrics against nutrient intake. For example, you could see how magnesium intake affects your sleep or how sodium intake might affect your heart rate. For some more Custom Chart inspiration, check out this blog.
