The sleep page in the Fitbit app will now sport a more streamlined look with all your data on one page. You can also scrub through the sleep timeline, as well as view your historical data more easily.

That’s because rumor has it the thing will pack a 600mAh battery. On the one hand, that probably means multiday battery life. We love that! But it also means the Pro will likely be a behemoth. Don’t love that. I get the design challenge, but on behalf of petite-wristed folks, smartwatches can’t keep getting bigger to solve the battery issue.

Namely, Google’s rolling out Heath Connect integration. So if you have 5,000 steps on a Pixel Watch and then switch over to a Garmin for a run, that workout data will still be viewable within the Fitbit app. It’s not perfect — that data won’t count toward Fitbit badges, for instance. Still, this is a neat option for folks who like to use multiple devices.
