According to a recent FCC listing, Fitbit is working on a new fitness tracker. The listing, viewed by 9to5Google, is vague and doesn’t give much information about how Fitbit’s upcoming device might look like. The outlet concluded that the new device might be an update to Fitbit’s Luxe or Ace series.
Despite Google’s decision to launch its high-end smartwatches under the Pixel Watch brand, the tech giant has no plan to kill the Fitbit (at least for now). The Google-owned Fitbit currently has a great diversity of fitness trackers from low to high-end. However, it’s heavily overshadowed by the Pixel Watch in the past few years. But it seems it has a new product on the way.
Fitbit might launch a new fitness tracker soon, but you shouldn’t get excited about it
The Fitbit Luxe and Ace devices are classified as mid-range, and have been waiting to receive an update for quite some time now. This gives us more assurance that Fitbit wants to update its old mid-range devices instead of launching a product that challenges the Pixel Watch.
For now, there isn’t any more data about the product and its specifications. However, you should lower your expectations for the Fitbit’s new device. It probably would be a sequel to the Luxe or Ace series and doesn’t support mobile payment. If you’re looking for fancy features in a high-end wearable, Pixel Watch is among the best Android smartwatches you can buy.
These are everything we got from the FCC listing. By the way, Fitbit’s upcoming device might not be a fitness tracker at all. Instead, it can be a smart scale. The release date is also unknown, but we can expect to see the latest Fitbit device by the end of the year.
Pixel Watch is currently Google’s leading brand for smartwatches. If the tech giant wants to keep Fitbit alive, it will likely launch low-end to mid-range fitness trackers under its name. Unsurprisingly, Pixel Watch also borrows some of its software features from Fitbit.
