Since the beginning, community has been at the heart of the Fitbit experience. From challenging friends to a Workweek Hustle to connecting with like-minded individuals in Groups, the power of the Fitbit family has been remarkable—and it’s about to grow in size and strength.
Today, Fitbit welcomes more health-and fitness-conscious friends into the fold with the introduction of three very special devices and an upgraded software experience. Whether you identify as a woman, harried parent, fitness fanatic, music lover—or any combination of those and more—Fitbit’s latest product and software release has something for you.
There’s a lot to unpack, so keep scrolling for more information on each new product, plus links out to deeper dives into Fitbit’s new comfortable, sleek, health and fitness smartwatch (humans with small wrists, rejoice!), the company’s first tracker for kids, a special edition Fitbit Ionic, and the addition of female health tracking to Fitbit’s app and smartwatches.

I am oddly ecstatic about the new parent app. My kid is 6 weeks old currently, so I hope it has enough features to still be useful when it comes out.
While it’s great to see new products – we REALLY would love to see a replacement of the Fitbit One – not all of us like or can use wrist wearable trackers. The Zip doesn’t have as many functions ie steps and has battery you need to replace every few months.
Agreed. Have had my One for almost 4 yrs. It’s starting to get glitchy so I hope it can keep holding on for a little while longer. I don’t want any of the wrist trackers, and the Zip is too basic. The One is more discreet. Who wants to see a wrist tracker when you’re dressed up?
Very true! I havent been abke to wear a watch style tracer in probably 8 or more years as it would be not allowed in the food production area @one job, destroyed by wrist guards/wraps elsewhere or submerged in bleach water repeatedly SO BRING THE ONE BACK (one tracker to wear with all, one tracker to run with, one tracker to sleep and walk and with its greatness track them!)
What about Spotify? Have you learned from your mistake in not including it in the Ionic?
What about tracking your macros on the dashboard? Will this be included in the upgrades?
People who practice the ketogenic lifestyle would GREATLY appreciate this
Will ionic get quick reply feature?
that’s wonderful that Fitbit has all these new products coming out. But, when is Fitbit going to take care of their dedicated buyers/users, but who made the mistake of purchasing the Fitbit Surge, not only once, but shame on them, twice. The Surge watch band falls apart in less then an year. And all Fitbit will do is offer an insulting percentage off a new purchase of a new Fitbit watch! Who would want a new Fitbit, knowing the company has some quality issues with their products and integrity issues with their customers.
As others have stated NOT EVETYONE CAN WEAR THEIR TRACKER ON THEIR WRIST or wants to. Not everyone wants to change batteries… Why the heck did y’all get rid of the One? Probably because it was too durable and simple and did the job so well y’all weren’t selling newer junk to those of us who had them so ya canned them… I cant keep anything on my wrist at work… So i guess i take my business to cheap pedometer from the big box store. Booo.
How about y’all add amount of macros in grams needed and consumed not just percentage.
I cannot wear my fi.tb as the strap has dropped to bits very disappointed Audrey Sumpton
Can you upload your own music in Versa or do you have to use a streaming app?
Yes, you can upload your own music.
I love my Charge, it has everything I need and is not bulky on my wrist. Do you have any plans to make a waterproof Charge? One that can be used in a swimming pool?
Wow! This could be one particular of the
most beneficial blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject.
Actually Great. I am also a specialist in this topic therefore
I can understand your hard work.
Would love a waterproof Fitbit that is not so big.
