Google Health / Fitbit questions, briefly answered.

Does Pixel Watch work?

Yes. Pixel Watch syncs to Google Health, which shares to Apple Health or Health Connect.

Do I need a paid Google or Fitbit subscription?

No. Sharing your activity does not need one.

I wear a Fitbit and another device. Which one counts?
