• Latest Fitbit Labs experiments will allow certain Pixel Watch users to track and log unusual health metrics.

Google’s Pixel Watch 4 appears to be significantly lacking in features compared to the Galaxy Watch 8, particularly in terms of health-related metrics.

These features are currently under trial with Fitbit Labs, and a small group of users can participate in testing them ahead of others.

With an upcoming update, some Pixel Watch users may be able to highlight any concerning deviations in their vitals. According to 9to5Google, a new feature called “Unusual Trend Detection” has been added to Fitbit Labs, a program that allows users to evaluate new features before they are rolled out to a broader user base.
