Fitbit is preparing new Versa, Sense, Luxe wearables, no Wear OS in sight
Fitbit purchased by Google in 2019,. It took regulators two years to approve the purchase. According to the latest rumor, Fitbit has not yet embraced Wear OS even though it was completed. It says three new devices are coming, and none of them will come with Google’s wearable platform.
According to 9to5Google, Fitbit Versa 4 and Fitbit Sense 2 smartwatches, as well as the Fitbit Luxe 2 band, are on their way with the brand’s own interface.
The Versa and Sense watches appeared with code names Hera and Rhea within the Fitbit app. These devices both have a resolution of 336 x 336 pixels, which is the same screen used in the previous versions and the source believes they are indeed the new variants of these two series.
Similar to the Fitbit Luxe is the Fitbit LXE – the slim band that’s primarily aimed at fashionable and stylish people. The screen is 124 x 208 pixels, just like the first Luxe.
The source noted that the software used to connect these new devices was called “bridge”, and it transfers data using Bluetooth. Wear OS also has a way to connect with phones. This was confirmed by a source.
