Prepare yourself for a small surprise today if you possess a Fitbit Charge 6. An upcoming upgrade to the fitness tracker will increase compatibility and include new watch faces. The Inspire 3, Sense 2, and Versa 4 will also receive an update soon.
The Fitbit team revealed three new watch faces for the Fitbit Charge 6 on its community blog. Axira, the first of the three, is an analog clock that displays your heart rate at the bottom and the date at the top. With your heart rate at the top and your step count at the bottom, Geometric is a two-line clock. Lastly, Momentum displays a number of statistics at a glance, such as your heart rate, distance traveled, and steps taken.
Fitbit claims that the purpose of these watch faces was to make important exercise and health metrics easily accessible. This update will increase the Charge 6’s compatibility with fitness equipment in addition to adding new watch faces. “You can connect to a wider selection of equipment and view your real-time heart rate on display during your home or gym workouts,” according to the business, thanks to this increased compatibility.
The following devices and applications are listed as compatible with the Charge 6 in Google’s support document:
- Peloton Bikes, Treads, and Rows
- iFit (NordicTrack)
- Concept 2
- Tonal
- Hydrow and Hydrow Wave
- Spinning bikes and mobile app
- Echelon
- Strava
Although “not all Bluetooth-compatible devices and apps will connect or act similarly,” Google cautions that additional computers and apps that aren’t on the list might function. Additionally, it notes that there is a known incompatibility between TechnoGym, Life Fitness, and Garmin.
An upgrade is also planned for users of the Inspire 3, Sense 2, and Versa 4. However, only general bug fixes and enhancements will be included in the update.
