Fitbit smartwatches are very advanced. Fitbit only focuses on health smartwatches. The Fitbit Sense 2 is a predecessor of the Fitbit Sense 1. The Sens 2 is yet to launch. Various leaks and specifications suggest that it would be a major upgrade over the last one.
When Fitbit Sense 1 launched, Fitbit didn’t collaborate with Google. But after their collaboration, Fitbit and Google brought various features which update over update. There are various leaks and rumors about the Fitbit Sense 2.
Fitbit Sense 2- What do the rumors say?
OS: Google Announced the WearOS 3 recently. James Park, CEO of Fitbit said, “In the future, we’ll be building premium smartwatches based on Wear that combines the best of Fitbit’s health expertise with Google’s ambient computing capabilities”.
It is possible that sooner or later, Fitbit watches would get WearOS’s latest version. In March, leaks showed that Fitbit would use integration between the phone and smartwatch to connect. WearOS uses a different connectivity system. It suggests that Fitbit would use its OS.
Design:
Most of the design of Sense 2 is similar to Fitbit Sense. According to various leaks and rumors, Sense 2’s design would be a “Biological Industrial Language design” using a softer, curved look like the human body.
The sides of Sense 2, would have traditional side buttons with rounded edges and squeeze gestures. The sides have few ports and buttons, which shows that Fitbit won’t use WearOS.
Specification:
Fitbit has used a similar design to its predecessor in Sense 2. It has a 1.5 inches AMOLED display, with 5ATM water resistance. It weighs under 1.7 ounces and has up to 6 days of battery life. These specifications are still under speculation. Fitbit should also use its most advanced sensor used in old Fitbit devices.
Sense 2 shall also be capable of reading SpO2 levels with skin temperate and electrodermal activity. It should be to sense irregular heartbeats too.
Sense 2 should be capable of NFC for contactless payment linked via Google Pay. Now, Sense 2 should be able to use a wide variety of apps, especially Google integrated apps.
Sense 2 should have an integrated GPS. It would help to track and monitor activities in which you are engaged, such as running, hiking, or riding bicycles. But, Fitbit Sense 2 has missing LTE support. Although Fitbit Sense 2 should have an optimized user interface, not like the old choppy experience in Fitbit sense.
How could be the new Fitbit experience?
We can expect Fitbit Sense 2 smartwatch to launch in the upcoming months. It is almost the same watch, but WearOS and Google’s computing could improve the user experience more than the previous generation.
