Google has announced a new Fitbit wearable device. An important refresh that affects the flagship models, the Sense 2 and Versa 4 smartwatches, in addition to the Inspire 3 quantification bracelet. Targeting the category of electronic devices for physical activity and health monitoring, they will be available next autumn and can be reserved now with prices ranging from from 99 for $299. We revise them.

Fitbit Sense 2

At the top of the catalog is the second generation of the best Fitbit smartwatches. In a device of this type, the key is the main sensor, and from there comes the most important innovation, the new sensor Body response which takes EDA capability to the next level with built-in continuous electrodermal activity for stress management throughout the day. The new sensor also measures other common parameters such as heart rate and newer ones such as skin temperature.

One area where Fitbit leads the way is in providing guidance with the data the watch collects so you can take actions like meditation or reflection to help manage stress. The watch provides ten sleep metrics with the new Sleep Profile feature. Sense 2 shows you what sleep type you are, recognizes key patterns and gives you practical ways to improve your sleep. It has also doubled the number of workout modes available with over 40 workout modes per device.

Fitbit used an interesting technique to integrate the metal electrodes of its sensors into the glass screen, creating a slimmer and sleeker watch. Thanks to the built-in speaker and microphone, you can receive notifications such as calls and reply to text messages (with an Android phone connected). It has support for GPS like other models.

The new Sense should provide more than six days of autonomy and the battery has support for fast charging, just 12 minutes of charging will ensure up to one day of battery life. Since Fitbit has been owned by Google for two years, we should expect more and better integration of apps like Google Maps and Google Wallet.

Sense 2 has an official price 299 dollars and will ship in the fall with six months of free Fitbit premium services.

Fitbit Versa 4

The second of Fitbit’s new smartwatches costs $70 less than the Sense 2 and offers a very similar experience, except it doesn’t include the new Body Response sensor. It offers GPS, heart rate monitoring, advanced sleep monitoring and other parameters.

The update over the Versa 3 is mild and focused on improving the design with less thickness and ease of use, with support for Google Wallet and Google Maps, more exercise modes and sleep tracking, as well as a new mosaic interface that also debuts. Sense 2 and that should make navigation easier.

The Versa 4 has the same six-day battery life and selection of health-focused features as the Versa 3. It lets you track your heart rate, monitor active zone minutes during exercise, monitor blood oxygen levels, assess sleep quality, and track sports activities with built-in GPS.

The watch can connect to Android terminals as well as Apple iPhones, although Google is committed to using Wear OS, improving partner models like the Watch 5, or developing another Pixel Watch of its own. Versa 4 it will cost $230 and is available for pre-order ahead of its global release this fall.

Fitbit Inspire 3

It is a new quantification bracelet and comes with an exceptional novelty, a full color screen that leaves the previous monochrome. Even with it, the Inspire 3 should last up to 10 days of battery life. It supports active zone minutes, sleep stages and sleep scores, as well as stress management.

It also measures heart rate, skin temperature, SpO2 and respiratory rate. Fitbit is offering six months of free service with this Inspire 3, which has a starting price 99 dollars.
