Fitbit is stepping up its smart fitness tracker game. The company has taken the wraps off of its 2020 lineup of smart health-focused watches and bands, headlined by the new Fitbit Sense, which is aimed at offering the best of Fitbit’s fitness-tracking capabilities. Fitbit also unveiled the improved Versa 3 and Inspire 2. All three devices offer new features that Fitbit hasn’t offered before and represent excellent value for money compared to what’s currently on the market. Here’s everything you need to know about Fitbit’s suite of new devices. The Fitbit Sense is the smartest and most powerful device in Fitbit’s 2020 lineup. Along with a series of new fitness-tracking features, the device also steps up its day-to-day smartwatch capabilities previously unavailable on Fitbit devices — like the fact that it offers the ability to use either Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa straight on your wrist. The Fitbit Versa 2 had Alexa, but adding Google to the mix will help make the watch a whole lot more useful for many people. On the Sense, you can ask your digital assistant to start tracking certain activities, plus it can control everything Alexa and Google can normally control — like smart home devices. Assistant support is really an added bonus here — the real reason to buy a Fitbit is its awesome fitness tracking features. The Fitbit Sense offers all the fitness tracking you know and love from previous Fitbit models, with a slew of new features, too. Perhaps the biggest fitness-tracking addition to the Sense is an (FDA-pending) ECG sensor, which can detect early indications of conditions like Atrial Fibrillation using its built-in app. As someone who was first diagnosed with aFib thanks to the Apple Watch‘s own ECG feature, this is a very welcome addition — and will hopefully help more people find out that they have aFib before it becomes a more serious issue.
