Google Fit is debuting with the latest version of Android – 5.0 Lollipop. The application that comes preloaded with the newly announced Nexus 6 is rather basic, but it provides us a sneak peak where Google is heading.

Right now, the Mountain View-based search giant is trying to mimic basic fitness tracking apps, allowing users to either track their exercises automatically or manually input the information.

The main screen is just a circle, counting up the various kinds of activities you’ve done that day.The design is very simple; the main screen is just a circle, counting up the various kinds of activities you’ve done that day, with a list and graphs available below. Right now, the list of supported activities includes walking, running and biking, but we’re sure this will be expanded to include other things in the future.

Manual input includes selection of the activity type, duration, along with few other details. Once the information syncs with the server, it’ll be reflected in your circle on the front page.

Google Fit also has some personalization features enabling users to input their height, weight, gender, and goals, and select units of measurement. There’s also an option to enter a number of hours of activity or a step goal. Syncing with other (wearable) devices and apps is possible, but it all feels basic at this stage.

Going forward, we think Google will want to make sure its application reflects Apple’s Health app, adding other data points to the mix. Meanwhile, Nexus 6 owners are the only one who can test out Google Fit; until Android L starts hitting other devices, as well.

UPDATE: Google Fit is now available from the Google Play Store.
