The post Deal: Fitbit Sense gets $100 OFF on Amazon US appeared first on Gizmochina.

American consumer and fitness electronics company Fitbit has announced that Google Assistant will be part of some of its devices when its next firmware update commences. The fitness tracker company is projected to finalize its takeover by Google within Q1 2021, will incorporate the voice assistant to the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 when they are upgraded to Fitbit OS 5.1 which rolls out today.

Industry watchers say that the update implies that both gadgets will now be able to offer Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, which is already available on the Versa 2 and 3. At launch, Google Assistant will still lack some functionalities. For example, Google Assistant would be unable to reply to voice prompts by the user via the built-in speaker as happens with Alexa, but this is expected to be activated in a subsequent upgrade, slated for mid-2021. Instead, responses will appear as text on the screen.

With the introduction of Google Assistant to these devices, Android users would now be able to dictate replies to SMS text messages on their wrists, as well as being able to use the speaker and microphone to make or answer calls via Bluetooth. In fact, the bulk of these activities could only be achieved with your phone, as there is very little Google Assistant functionality in the watch itself- all voice prompts are routed via Bluetooth back to the phone for processing. Without your phone, it cannot function.

Google Assistant will be available in Fitbit OS 5.1 for the Sense and Versa 3, from today. There is only the US-English at this time for English speaking countries. However, by early 2021, we expect to see it roll out in many more countries when these languages would have been incorporated. The upgrade will thus be available to the global market in the major languages and dialects by early 2021.

As the most expensive Smartwatch of the company yet, Fitbit Sense finally gets the ECG App functionality in the US, Germany, and UK. The App, which was not available at launch, was approved by both the FDA and EU last month.

As reported by Tizenhelp(via 9to5Google), the Smartwatch has already started getting the update in the US, Uk, and Germany. The report says that countries like India are also on the list but the exact date is unknown. For the unaware, Fitbit launched the Fitbit Sense Smartwatch back in August at $329. The Smartwatch has advanced health tracking features like ECG, EDA, and support for Google Assistant, and Alexa.

However, the ECG feature was not available at the launch as the company had an approval pending at the USA’s FDA(Food and Drug Administration). And the EU’s CE marking(EEA health standard). That said, the company is now rolling out the feature as promised. Besides, the report says the company conducted multi-site clinical trials across the US to submit data for regulatory approval.

ECG feature- How it works?

Coming back, the new update will be available to all users in the above-mentioned countries soon. You can also install it manually by downloading the app from Fitbit official website or trying it via the Fitbit app on your Smartphone. After installing, go to Assessments & Reports->Discover Tab->Heart Rhythm assistant. After accepting terms, open the ECG app on Fitbit Sense and complete setup. You have to put your fingers on either side of the stainless steel ring of the watch. This will take a reading of your heartbeat to help you access heart rhythm and detect any atrial fibrillation in the future.

Fitbit Sense Health and tracking features

Anyway, the Fitbit Sense is the first Smartwatch to have ECG(Electrocardiogram), and EDA(Electrodermal Activity) sensors. According to Fitbit, it has 98.7% and 100% successful rate of AFib, and Heartrate respectively. AFib is commonly an irregular heartbeat that can lead to several heart-related complications. However, EDA measures the sweat level on the skin to monitor stress levels.

Other features on the Smartwatch include Exercise modes, 24/7 100% accurate heartrate, skin temperature sensor, SpO2 for blood Oxygen levels, and more. The Smartwatch is already available in the US but will be available in Europe from October 16.

Fitbit has launched its most advanced smartwatch so far, dubbed as Fitbit Sense. It has been made official along with the Fitbit Versa 3 — the successor of the Versa 2 launched last year, and the Fitbit Inspire 2.

In terms of design and features, the new Fitbit Sense is very much similar to the Versa lineup of smartwatches from the company. The highlight is that the Sense comes with two new sensors — ECG and EDA.

Thus, the device can take an electrocardiogram that can also detect atrial fibrillation for better health monitoring. However, the feature won’t be available to use right away given that the FDA approval is pending. Another major feature is that the Fitbit Sense can also track stress levels.

Along with the standard health features like 24/7 heart-rate tracking and various exercise tracking modes, there’s also a new skin temperature checking feature.

The Fitbit Sense comes with an edge-to-edge AMOLED display that offers features like always-on display and auto-brightness. The software has been redesigned to offer customizable widgets, redesigned notifications, and more.

The company has also added support for Google Assistant along with Amazon Alexa. However, the Google Assistant voice-command feature will start rolling out to the users in the coming months. As for the battery life, the company is promising over six days of usage on a single charge.

The Fitbit Sense is priced at $329 in the United States and will be available for purchase from late September but the exact date is not yet known. It will also go on sale in other regions, including Australia, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, and the UK.

Around this time last year, Fitbit unveiled the Versa 2 smartwatch packing an OLED display. The company is now set to announce the Versa 3 but before the official announcement, renders of the smartwatch have leaked online. Alongside the Versa 3, renders of the Fitbit Sense and Inspire 2 also made the round.

The leaked renders show the Versa 3 adopts a shape that is intermediate between a circle and a square. The squircle-shaped display and the home screen in the renders confirm the smartwatch will come with heart rate monitoring and step counter, which is commonplace in smartwatches these days.

Around the back, the Versa 3 has a heart rate sensor and charging pins, and there are a microphone, location and 50M icons below, which confirm voice controls, built-in GPS and 50 meters water resistance, respectively.

The source also leaked renders of the Fitbit Sense and Inspire 2. The Fitbit Sense looks similar to the Versa 3 but is costlier. Its home screen confirms the step counting, sleep tracking, and heart rate monitoring features.

Its back – which is home to the heart rate sensor and charging pins – has four icons, two of which confirm built-in GPS and 50 meters water resistance. The other two hint at temperature measurement and ECG. There’s no microphone icon here like the Versa 3, which means the Fitbit Sense either doesn’t support voice controls or the company decided to not put one. The latter is possible since the Fitbit Sense is costlier than Versa 3.

The Inspire 2 is a successor to the Fitbit Inspire which was announced last March. The smartwatch adopts a rounder design compared to its predecessor. It also confirms the presence of a heart rate sensor. Other features of this smart band are currently unknown, but you can expect it to come with basic fitness tracking.

The renders of the Versa 3 and Inspire 2 also reveal that the company has ditched the physical buttons and opted for a button-less design. Unlike their predecessors that had physical buttons on their left sides, these devices have an indent instead for what could be a touch/pressure-sensitive area. The same goes for Fitbit Sense.

Fitbit is yet to reveal any detail about the wearables but since these official-looking press renders are out, it won’t be long before the US-based company makes them official.
