Wear OS Loses Advanced Strength Training Tracking With New Google Fit

Last week Google announced the renewal of the sports application. Google Fit this week started receiving its new interface and new metrics, but not all have been improvements and good news.

In its renewal for Wear OS, we found out how in its update has lost one of its most distinctive features compared to competing watches and applications.

Goodbye to counting sets and reps

the strength training with him new Google Fit operating system for Wear lost the follow-up of sets and repetitions that for years they had smartwatches based on the Google operating system.

This feature has been used for years by many Wear OS users because was very reliable in automatically counting sets and reps, much more accurate than other watches or bracelets based on other operating systems.

Now the new Google Fit for strength training is limited to doing a heart rate monitoring and cardio points, also showing the time and stopwatch on the screen. He no longer counts sets and repetitions.

Complaints were quick to arrive on reddit and and Twitter

ask Google to add this flagship feature of Google Fit and Wear OS to their watches, as many users only used their watch to count sets and reps during their strength training.

We hope Google will listen to its users and update Google Fit for Wear OS again to retrieve set and rep tracking on their smartwatches, as it doesn’t make much sense that you just want to monitor heart rate for strength training when the most important thing. of this training are sets and repetitions.
