The Sense and Versa 3 models both have built-in Amazon Alexa voice control on board and Google Assistant, with a built in speaker to hear responses. There’s also a new, relative SpO2 sensor for estimating blood oxygen levels.The Versa 2 and Ionic offer a similar set of functions to each other - none of the sensors mentioned above but they do have Pure Pulse heart rate tracking - and the Versa Lite Edition still offers plenty but fewer features than the others.

It’s opening up the SDK in September and is hoping to tap into the huge Pebble developer community (Fitbit acquired Pebble last year) to bulk up the numbers of apps on offer to Ionic wearers.

Sticking with music and wearers will also be able to load around 300 of their own MP3s using 2.5GB of storage space.Īndroid Wear and Apple Watch users may well guffaw at just four recognized apps being ready for the launch but Fitbit assures us that the App Gallery store will eventually offer up hundreds of apps. The smartwatch will launch with four big third-party apps pre-installed for users: Strava, Starbucks, AccuWeather and Pandora for music streaming. The Blaze lacked any sort of app experience for users, with limited smartwatch notifications, but the Ionic will be an app-rich device.
