Today Fitbit officially unveiled its “fall lineup,” updating its two high-end smartwatches alongside the Inspire 3 fitness tracker. The Google-owned company has chosen to subtly evolve the Versa 4 and Sense 2 designs, opting to avoid any revolutionary changes this year in that department. Well, unless you count the physical button replacing last year’s capacitive one.
The theme practically continues inside as well. Compared to its predecessor, the Sense 2 gets all-day stress management thanks to its new continuous EDA sensor. This can make you aware of potential stress triggers and create a stress management routine that builds resilience over time. In addition to the Versa 4, it has 40 training modes (double the previous number), GPS, and over 1,000 training and awareness sessions hidden behind the Fitbit Premium paywall. This also gives you more detailed sleep tracking and daily availability score that lets you know “when to push hard or take a day off” and it looks like Fitbit has no plans to cancel the paid subscription.
None of these devices run Wear OS, as they were likely already in development when Google’s acquisition of Fitbit took place. However, Google promises that its Maps and Wallet apps will soon be available on Versa 4 and Sense 2.
These two also have 24/7 heart rate monitoring, real-time stats, and “more than six days of battery life”. Thanks to the quick charge, 12 minutes translates into a day of juice.
The Inspire 3 is the latest version of Fitbit’s entry-level tracker and records activity, heart rate, calories, distance, sleep, and stress in a redesigned package that’s thin, light, and now brightly colored. It can last up to 10 days on a charge depending on usage and 3 or more days with the always-on display function.
The Versa 4 is priced at $ 229.95, the Sense 2 at $ 299.95, and the Inspire 3 at $ 99.95. In all cases, you get a free six-month Premium subscription with automatic renewal. All three models are now available for pre-order on fitbit.com and “select global resellers”. Inspire 3 will be available in September, while the other two will arrive “this fall”.
