On paper, the Versa 3 looks like a solid upgrade over the Versa 2, especially if you’re a runner and need dedicated GPS.

And the Versa 3 can use the Bluetooth connection to your smartphone and its internal speaker and microphone to place or receive calls, essentially allowing for calls on your wrist like the Apple Watch. Rounding out the additions is a redesigned mechanism to attach watch bands that should make it easier and quicker to quickly swap them out. That’s paired with a fast-charging feature that gives you a day of use off of just 12 minutes of charging. We’re eager to try the Google Assistant on our wrist.įurthermore, Fitbit has added built-in GPS support so you no longer have to have your phone on you at all times. Now with the Versa 3, you’ll have the choice between Alexa and Google Assistant, the latter of which will be available in “winter 2020” via a software update. With the Versa 2, Fitbit added support for Amazon’s Alexa smart assistant on the watch. Like its predecessor, the Versa 3 still boasts over six days of battery life, an AMOLED display, watch faces, apps, call, text and smartphone notifications - but it’s also gained some new features that are sure to catch your attention. The third time’s a charm, right? At least that’s what Fitbit surely hopes with its third-generation smartwatch, the Versa 3. It will begin shipping in late September. The Inspire 2 is $99.95 and available for preorder right now. The slim design comes in white, black or pink - or, as Fitbit calls it, Desert Rose. For example, you’ll be able to see more stats and a deeper breakdown of your sleep score to help you get more rest. The band comes with a free one-year subscription to Fitbit Premium, which unlocks deeper insights into your fitness and health data. You’ll be able to read notifications from your phone on the vertical screen, and if you use an Android device, you’ll even be able to reply to messages directly from your wrist. It also features sleep tracking, including sleep scores to help you keep track of how rested you are.

As the only fitness band included in today’s announcement, it comes with 10-day battery life and an always-on heart rate monitor that can watch your personal heart rate zones for high or low alerts. The Inspire 2 includes all of the standard features you’ve come to expect from Fitbit. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
