Pixel Watch step bug

Google’s March “Pixel Drop” began rolling out on March 3, 2026 and included new Pixel Watch features across multiple watch models. (blog.google) Users first flagged missing overnight SpO2 and skin‑temperature cards in the Fitbit app within days of the update, with complaints surfacing on Reddit and cover outlets by March 9–10, 2026. (9to5google.com)) Follow‑on reports escalated from missing metrics to wildly inflated activity totals, with some accounts describing step and calorie counts doubling or tripling and isolated examples of 14,000 steps and 6,300 calories logged while users were inactive. (androidcentral.com)) A detailed user post showed two accurate workout entries (1,515 steps and 2,967 steps) but an overview that summed to 9,827 steps and 4.7 miles, illustrating a mismatch between workout logs and daily totals. (mobilesyrup.com)) Reports say the issue has appeared across Pixel Watch models including the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3 and even units on older builds, and Google has acknowledged the tracking problem and said it is working on a fix. (9to5google.com) (androidauthority.com)) Investigations point to possible server‑side or integration problems because some affected users hadn’t installed the March update, and Fitbit app updates released around March 12, 2026 reportedly restored SpO2/skin‑temp readings for some owners while a broader corrective patch remained pending.
