There have been recent reports of the Google Pixel watches showing massively inflated fitness data stats. After receiving the March 2026 Pixel Drop, people have noticed incorrect fitness tracking stats, and blood oxygen (SpO2) and skin temperature tracking bugs that have caused these metrics to disappear from the Fitbit app.

A Reddit user wrote, “The Fitbit app of my Pixel Watch 3 is significantly overcounting/doubling my steps, mileage, and calories consumed since the March 5, 2026, update. It looks like it is doubling the counts. As an example, I have taken two walks today and the workout details appear correct, one 12 minute, 0.69 mile walk of 1,515 steps and a second 24 minute, 1.35 mile, 2,967 steps walk, but the overview shown on my phone and watch shows a total of 9,827 steps and 4.7 miles.”
Users have reported that their watch now shows massively inflated fitness stats, missing or zeroed out data in workouts, while also doubling recorded steps taken, mileage and calories consumed. The culprit behind all these issues hasn’t been found, but there’s a strong belief that these faulty software issues are all tied back to the March 2026 Pixel drop. However, older builds have also been experiencing faulty stats as well.
Google (via Pixel/Fitbit community) has acknowledged the issue, saying: “We are aware of this issue and are working on a fix.” There has been no estimated timeline for this fix, and no patch has been released.
