Recently, Fitbit users received news that the Fitbit platform would soon be phased out. Users were advised to transfer their data from the Fitbit app to their Google accounts to prevent data loss. Initially, the deadline for this transfer was set for this year.

However, Google has since extended the deadline, allowing users to migrate their Fitbit data until 2026. When Google launched its first Pixel Watch in 2022, many wondered what this meant for Fitbit’s future. Initially, it seemed that Google intended to support the brand.

However, the company stopped producing new Fitbit watches last year and announced the discontinuation of the Fitbit app, indicating a reduced need for the Fitbit brand as part of its ecosystem. This news is disappointing for fans of Fitbit who may not wish to invest in a Pixel Watch. Fortunately, plenty of alternatives are available on the market.

For instance, RePebble recently released two new watches that serve as spiritual successors to the Pebble 2, providing options for those seeking different products. The deadline to migrate data from Fitbit to your Google account has been pushed to February 2026. If you haven’t transferred your data yet, this is the time to act, as the deadline is just under a year away.

The process is straightforward: you’ll need an active Google account. Simply navigate to the app’s settings and select the “Move Account” button. Once you choose your Google account, review your personal data to ensure accuracy before accepting the terms and conditions.

After that, Google will handle the data migration for you. It’s advisable not to delay the transfer, and if you require assistance, support resources are available.
