Fitbit has launched 4 new devices including the Fitbit Versa Lite I discussed in more detail earlier today. The CEO also indicated that an Ionic 2 will come later in 2019. My ‘guess’ would be ‘just in time for Christmas’.
In addition to the Versa Lite, there is also the Inspire, Inspire HR and Ace 2. The Inspire models, as you can see below, are both standard band formats and are available in a variety of colours. The prices of the Inspire bands are a tad on the high side and I would expect them to fall slightly as the year progresses especially as Fitbit has already made it perfectly clear that they are endeavouring to be more competitive at lower price points.
The ACE2 is a tracker for kids.
Again, it’s pretty basic but looks to have reasonably good durability specs. It does not do too much (no games…phew!) but does allow all you sneaky parents out there to keep an eye on your kid’s stats via your app login. No 60 minutes of physical activity…no bedtime story. You know the drill.
