Issues with Step Tracking on Pixel Watch Emerge Following Recent Firmware Update

Certain Pixel Watch users have indicated that they are receiving inflated step counts and calorie figures without participating in any physical activity. This problem arose following the March 2026 update, which was aimed at improving the device’s performance but inadvertently disrupted Fitbit tracking. At first, users noticed absent health metrics such as SpO2 and skin temperature readings. However, the issue has progressed to include exaggerated activity measurements, with some users reporting that their step counts have doubled or tripled while they are inactive.

This glitch raises a major concern for those who depend on their Pixel Watch for precise fitness monitoring. Despite a plethora of complaints, Google has not yet publicly addressed the situation. Android Central has contacted Google for a statement and will share updates as they emerge.
