Following the Water stats page redesign on Android, the Fitbit is finally revamping the Health Metrics interface.

My biggest complaint about the old layout was how it was clearly a webpage instead of a more native experience. Google is now finally remedying that.

Old

The card on the Today feed is unchanged, with Fitbit showing a new intro page about seeing “how your health metrics compare to your personal range.”

window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];

adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-666670’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );

It’s no longer a two-tab layout (Today and Trends). Rather, you get one page for Today with the five-part gauge and “x of 5” count from the main tab appearing first. You then get a modern list for Breathing rate (BR), Blood oxygen (SpO2), Resting heart rate (RHR), Heart rate variability (HRV), and Skin temp variation.

Tapping on a stat takes you to a Trends chart with Week, Month, and Year views that go beyond 7, 30, and 90-days in the past. You also get an explanation for each metric.

Redesign

Overall, this is a good redesign and modernization for Health Metrics that Fitbit users are seeing on iOS (version 4.39) and Android today. It’s not widely rolled out yet on the latter platform, with the app recently moving to the Google LLC developer account.

With this refresh, we’re waiting for Food logging to get a redesign. Once that happens, we’ll hopefully get the dark theme since these new interfaces have presumably been revamped with that in mind.
