The Pixel Watch 4 doesn’t fix a longtime Fitbit problem, and I hate it

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Google unveiled the new and improved Pixel Watch 4, yet one of my long-standing asks remains unanswered: true multi-device support. With AI coaching arriving in October, I’d love to see Fitbit allow more than one active device per user. When brands like Garmin and Apple handle this seamlessly, its absence is starting to feel less like an oversight and more like a conscious trade-off. If you could use a Fitbit along with the Pixel Watch, would you do that? 104

Hasselblad has launched the followup to its first 100MP medium-format camera with a new model that improves on it in almost every way.
