Fitbit Inspire 2 1

We’re in the era of ‘proof! Or it didn’t happen’, so what better way to prove to your friends, family and social followers that you smashed that 20 kay, half marathon on the weekend than with a Fitbit map to prove it? This is why the likes of Fitbit’s latest Inspire 2 is good. That, and a few other reasons that we’ll explore now.

The Fitbit Versa 2: A new watch, only this time, with Alexa

Fitbit Versa 2

What’s the time? What was my sleep score last night? What’s the weather doing today, Alexa? No, we’re not talking to a smart home hub. We’re actually playing with the new offering from FitBit, the Versa 2 Health and Fitness Watch.  Loaded with features such as Amazon Alexa, 24/7 heart rate tracking, a sophisticated sleep tracker, on-screen workouts and smartphone notifications, Versa 2 is an affordable smartwatch with looks to boot. It’s elegantly curved with a new AMOLED screen and an anodised aluminium finish. Unlike its predecessor, Versa 2 has an always-on display. Just remember though, if you select this option, you will chew through your battery life a lot quicker.  Speaking of battery life, one of the most impressive specs about Versa 2 is the 5+ day battery life (which varies with use, as we mentioned earlier with the always-on display). This is a significant point of difference when comparing battery life with the Series 5 Apple Watch which only offers 18 hours before requiring a recharge. The Versa 2 extended battery life allows you to wear the smartwatch while you sleep, if you’re interested in monitoring your sleep pattern. Each night, Versa 2 will track your light, deep and REM sleep and after it learns your sleep patterns, it will provide you with a personalised sleep score.  With the newly integrated microphone and Alexa function, you can ask Alexa a question, but unlike a home hub, she won’t talk back to you (which probably isn’t a bad thing, right)? She only responds via… Read More

But this time they’re only giving the athletes something they need – The Ionic – but every kind of person, regardless of their age, size, shape, and all the rest of it. And it’s nice. They’re giving people of every age, shape, size and goal an excuse to get outside, get moving and be fit for life with their new Fitbit Versa Lite – the slightly stripped back version of the Fitbit Versa, which came out in 2018 – Fitbit Inspire, for wearers in need of something less bulky, and the Fitbit Ace 2, which is for kids, ages six and up. It’s pretty safe to safe, Fitbit now covers every corner of the market, and for a product as reliable as theirs that does the job as well as it does, it’s not surprising why. Here’s what makes the three new additions worth a go: Fitbit Versa Lite This one is the most expensive of the three new watches, but does the best and offers wearers something a little more from a watch that’s been stripped back. The Versa Lite is an everyday smartwatch with most of the core fitness features you need. It obviously tracks your movements and calories burnt, but comes with other bits like automatic activity, PurePulse 24/7 heart rate and Sleep Stages tracking, 15+ goal-based exercise modes, connected GPS, smartphone notifications and a 4+ day battery life, depending on your use, obviously.
