Google’s commitment to Fitbit remains strong as the tech giant introduces a new Material 3 Expressive redesign to the Fitbit app. This update represents the most extensive implementation of Google’s new design language yet, surpassing even the Google Home app in terms of visual appeal and animation fluidity.
The revamped Fitbit app features a sleeker look with a shorter bottom navigation bar and a pull-down sync gesture that works from any of the four main tabs. A unique loading indicator cycles through new shapes during syncing, creating a fresh and modern visual experience. Once syncing is complete, the “Fitbit Premium” label disappears, replaced by a linear progress bar.
One of the standout features of the new Material 3 Expressive design is the emphasis on fluid and natural motion throughout the app. Navigating through the app feels smooth, with charts loading seamlessly from left to right. Additionally, completed goals are highlighted with checkmarks, making achievements more satisfying.
The Today, Fitness, and Sleep feeds feature a distinct sheet design, with key stats displayed on a background layer that themes the status and app bars. Detailed cards scroll on a separate sheet, with teal coloring for Fitness and purple for Sleep. While the app does not yet support Dynamic Color, the overall design remains visually appealing.
A major highlight of the update is the AI-powered Personal Health Coach, built with Gemini technology. This feature acts as a fitness trainer, sleep coach, and health advisor rolled into one, providing users with personalized guidance and support.
The Material 3 Expressive redesign and AI health coach will be rolled out next year, with a current public preview available only in the US. For Fitbit users, this update represents a significant leap forward in how they interact with their health data, offering a more modern and engaging experience.
Overall, Google’s commitment to implementing Material 3 Expressive across its services is evident, with Fitbit leading the charge in showcasing the new design language. This update not only enhances the visual appeal of the Fitbit app but also improves the overall user experience, making it easier and more enjoyable to track and manage health data.
