User reports are floating around this week describing problems with tracking both blood oxygen concentration (SpO2) and skin temperature overnight.<\/p>\n<p>PiunikaWeb has rounded up some of these reports, which seem to have started over the weekend. Most of the reports I\u2019ve seen are about the Pixel Watch 4, but users have mentioned the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2, as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ag\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Ag\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>User accounts of the issues say that overnight SpO2 and skin temperature data are missing without any explanation. Both metrics are only tracked during sleep, so it\u2019s possible that these issues stem from broader complications with sleep tracking.<\/p>\n<p>As for a fix, a user labeled as a Product Expert on the Pixel Watch Help forum suggests clearing the Fitbit app\u2019s cache on both the affected Pixel Watch and the phone it\u2019s paired with and restarting both devices, though a user reporting the issue on the Fitbit Community forum says that that method didn\u2019t solve their problems.<\/p>\n<p>Some other users report that factory resetting their Pixel Watch solved the problem, a method also endorsed by the official PixelCommunity Reddit account.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve reached out to Google for more information about the problem and the status of a potential fix.
