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.

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.
