Fitbit today announced a handful of updates for Fitbit devices, including the Sense 2, Versa 4, Charge 6, and Inspire 3.
The 2022 Fitbit smartwatches can now browse, select, and control YouTube Music on your phone. This is presumably modeled after the Fitbit Charge 6 experience introduced last year. Another update means you can now adjust text size on the Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4. Fitbit notes how an increase might be helpful when working out.
Meanwhile, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is adding 20 new exercise modes for a total of over 40.
Auto Detect on the Sense 2, Versa 4, and Charge 6 can now automatically recognize rowing, elliptical, and spinning, and is entirely new on the Inspire 3 today. This joins walking, running, and biking detection.
Fitbit today is also touting improved accuracy for heart rate tracking on the Sense 2, Versa 4, and Inspire 3, with “innovations in Google’s machine learning” credited. This is similar to how the Charge 6 benefited from advancements made on the Pixel Watch. In turn, this helps make calories burned, Active Zone Minutes, and other metrics more accurate.
Finally, Fitbit touts “more accurate stats and mapping for outdoor” as part of GPS improvements on the Sense 2, Versa 4, and Charge 6
Fitbit tells us that these additions will begin rolling out today as OTA firmware updates.
