Today, Fitbit announced the availability of three new fitness trackers: the Inspire 3, Versa 4, and Sense 2. All successors to previous-generation devices, the three run the gamut from Fitbit’s highest-equipped to most basic fitness wearables.
“Basic” is a relative term among fitness trackers, as they all continuously edge closer to full-blown smartwatch functionality. The Inspire 3, in particular, adds blood oxygen monitoring during sleep and a full-color AMOLED touchscreen to the entry-level tracker, which already can receive phone alerts, like texts, calls, and app notifications. Setting the display to the optional “always on” setting takes battery life estimates down from 10 days to only three, which is much more in line with full-featured smartwatches, though less than Fitbit’s Sense and Versa watches.
By contrast, the Sense 2 and Versa 4 are the two most-capable trackers Fitbit offers. They’re both rated for about six days of use (without the always-on-display enabled) and now feature fast-charging capability that Fitbit claims can give you a day of battery life from only 12 minutes of charging.
