Summary
Spare watch pins let Ben fasten a Pebble smartwatch onto a Fitbit Air band, creating a single setup that puts Pebble notifications on top and Fitbit tracking underneath.
Pebble’s health features remain basic, especially on the Pebble 2 Duo, while the Fitbit Air supplies the sleep and fitness data and Google Health insights he did not want to lose.
The fit is tight with the default Air band and took several tries to position comfortably, but Ben said the combined wearable works well in daily use.
Google recently released 3D-print files for Fitbit Air accessories, opening the door for a cleaner one-band version of the hack instead of the current improvised setup.
