Fitbit Shares New Details About Its Inspire 3, Sense 2, Versa 4 Smartwatches

Fitbit's three new devices, which still highlight user-friendliness, battery life, and mobile-specific capabilities, are currently available for preorder and come with a free six-month trial of Fitbit Premium.

Here's What You Should Expect from Fitbit's Inspire 2, Sense 2, and Versa 3

Since the last time, Fitbit unveiled an improved wearable that wasn't a little fitness tracker. Only Charge 5 and Luxe have appeared since that time. Inspire 2, Sense 2, and Versa 3 all make their debut in 2020.

However, three brand-new devices, the Inspire 3, Versa 4, and Sense 2, were announced by Fitbit, the Google-owned company, on August 24. As usual, Fitbit emphasizes user convenience, battery life, and a few essential functions for mobile users.

The Versa 4 and Sense 2 have become one smartphone with iterative upgrades. Both monitor heart rate, activity, stress, and sleep for six days. For turn-by-turn guidance, these new gadgets link to Google Maps.

Fitbit Pay could be eliminated as a result of Google Wallet. The Body Response Sensor measures stress and electrodermal activity in Sense 2. At the same time, the pushbutton from Versa 3 is utilized in Versa 4.

Fitbit seeks an advantage in software and services in the cutthroat wearable hardware market. The Sleep Profile, available for premium subscribers that own the two devices, analyzes sleep patterns based on ten criteria and offers suggestions for bettering sleep. You might also keep track of your anxiety and take breaks using its stress management score.

Preorders for the Sense 2 and Versa 4 are now open; the former costs $299.95, while the latter does so for $229.95. Delivery is expected to begin in the fall, and both come with a free six-month trial of Fitbit Premium.

Additionally, a 10-day battery life, six months of Premium, and a more compact design are all features of the business' entry-level Inspire 3. You shouldn't anticipate many of the sophisticated features found on Fitbit's other devices, and you'll rely on the app to monitor your vital signs and daily activities. It will cost you $99.95, and shipping will start in September.

Rumors Say Fitbit Will Launch Wear OS Soon

Fitbit, a leading manufacturer of fitness trackers, has been owned by Google for more than a year, but the business hasn't yet created a Wear OS device. Although no release dates have been specified, contrasting speculations claim that a Fitbit with Wear OS will be introduced soon. An APK examination of Google Play services version 22.32.12 has provided details about this mysterious entity.

APK teardowns are a valuable sign of upcoming changes since they often reveal hidden functionality. When looking through the code in the Play services update, the staff of our sister site, XDA-Developers, discovered the following text, which is most likely from a user-interface prompt:

The code for the phrases refers to a generic "Fitbit watch picture" that resembles the business' most current Versa and Sense smartwatches and has the disputed squircle design. Given Fitbit's previous preference for its square with round edges screens, long-time consumers of the brand's watches will probably recognize its first Wear OS wristwatch.

The wearable's NFC capabilities, notably Google Pay, are emphasized in the images. Although Fitbit Pay may be withdrawn, some could prefer a lengthy goodbye. We don't know much about the smartwatch, but we hope to learn more during the Pixel Fall Launch.

The Wear OS backup capability is absent from Google's watch operating system, according to a second investigation of Play Services v22.32.12 August 20. That it would function similarly to backing up your Android smartphone and that it would be connected to Google One.
