FULL STORY
======================================================================

When Google showcased the Pixel Watch 3 it revealed that the new smartwatch 
would be getting Fitbits daily readiness score for free  a feature which was 
previously exclusive to paying Fitbit Premium subscribers. Now a Fitbit 
update is bringing it to older devices too, and changing how its calculated. 

The Fitbit daily readiness score is what the name suggests. Its a score that 
generalizes your physiological state  based on your resting heart rate, heart 
rate variability, and recent sleep patterns  to provide an idea of how ready 
you are to take on a big workout and the day ahead. 

A low score of 29 or below suggests you need to take the day to rest and 
relax, while a high score of 65 or above is a sign that its time for your 
next workout. 

Previously, Fitbit used an activity factor in its readiness score 
calculations, but with the rollout to free users this has been removed. 
Fitbit says this should make the score more accurate as it is no longer 
determined by the level of activity you did the day before, but how hard your 
body is working to recover. 

For example, previously multiple light activity days might not lower your 
readiness score much, but now if youre showing signs that its worn you out 
your score will better reflect that. Who is getting the daily readiness 
score? 

The free daily readiness score update is coming to Fitbit trackers and 
smartwatches with heart rate sensors. These models are: Pixel Watch, Pixel 
Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3 Sense, Sense 2 Versa 2, Versa 3, Versa 4 Charge 5, 
Charge 6 Inspire 2, Inspire 3 Luxe Pixel Watches are also getting the Fitbit 
feature for free (Image credit: Future) 

To see your score you can find it in the Fitbit app, or on the device for 
every model listed above except for the Pixel Watches and Inspire 2. 

If you dont see the update on your device first, check to see if the Fitbit 
app has updated  youre looking for v4.23 on Android and iOS. If it has 
updated then give it a few days as sometimes new features can take time to 
roll out. You might also like RIP Fitbit smartwatches  an end we could see
