Google is facing another wave of complaints from Pixel Watch owners after a new software bug disrupted sleep tracking features across multiple smartwatch models. The issue prevents sleep data from appearing directly on affected watches, even though the information continues recording in the background.
Reports from frustrated users began appearing online late last week, with many noticing the same recurring message on their devices: "No recent data. Wear your watch to sleep."
Sleep Data Still Appears Inside Fitbit App
Although sleep information is missing from the smartwatch itself, many users discovered that their records remain available through the Fitbit app on their smartphones.
Based on Reddit complaints, the behavior suggests the issue does not involve lost health data but instead affects how the watch retrieves or displays information locally.
Several affected users reported experiencing the glitch for multiple nights in a row.
Standard troubleshooting methods, including restarting the device, reportedly failed to resolve the issue in most cases.
Fitbit Transition Raises Additional Concerns
The timing of the bug has generated additional discussion because Google continues integrating Fitbit services into its Google Health ecosystem.
Over the past year, several Fitbit tools and integrations have changed or quietly disappeared during the ongoing platform transition.
Although Google has not officially linked the latest sleep tracking issue to backend modifications, some users believe the two developments may be connected, per Android Authority.
Pixel Watch Health Problems
The latest malfunction is not the first health-related issue affecting Pixel Watch devices in recent months.
Earlier updates reportedly caused inaccurate step tracking, broken SpO2 readings, missing skin temperature data, and syncing problems across multiple watch generations.
Some users previously claimed their watches recorded thousands of steps while they remained mostly stationary, while others reported that Fitbit updates removed access to important health sensor permissions.
No Official Fix Timeline From Google
As of writing, Google has not publicly explained the cause of the sleep tracking bug or provided a timeline for a software fix, according to Android Central.
