That Fitbit fees 4 It is currently at the top of the list The best fitness tracker You can buy, but it looks like Fitbit will soon be planning something fancier.
WinFuture It has a scoop on an upcoming wearable called the Fitbit Luxe. As you can see in the photo above, this is a fitness band located next to the company Inspiration 2 And the Charge 4 band, not its rival smartwatch Reverse 3 And Signal Wearable, but clearly looks appealing to those who miss the understated style of the Alta family.
At first glance, the Fitbit Luxe looks a lot like the $ 99 Inspire 2 with an elongated screen and replaceable strap, but there are some notable differences. For starters, the band itself looks bigger than the kind your average Fitbit wears, and there’s stainless steel surrounding the tracker itself.
Most importantly, the screen is a color model, unlike the monochrome displays of the Inspire 2 and Charge 4, although it still appears to be OLED. Hopefully, this doesn’t really impact battery life, as the 7 to 10 days that other Fitbit trackers offer is one of their top selling points.
WinFuture says Fitbit strives to offer “well-balanced in a stylish design” and for this, it will feature the functionality you would normally expect from enterprise hardware. This includes measuring sleep and blood pressure through a heart rate monitor built into the wearable device. It also tracks your workouts, including swimming thanks to its waterproof housing, and it looks like the whole device will vibrate when you reach your desired heart rate zone.
But anyone hoping that means the built-in GPS will likely be out of luck. While some outlets have reported that the range will include a Global Positioning System (GPS), we believe that this may be due to a translation error, as the WinFuture text (translated) clearly states that it can be used to track operations’ via the GPS Unit of a smartphone connected to the tracker. In other words, the Fitbit Luxe is most likely close to the Inspire 2 (and Alta HR) From Charge 4 packed with GPS.
This makes guessing the starting point a little more difficult, but we imagine it will fetch between $ 99 for Inspiration 2 and $ 150 for shipping 4.If he’s really a spiritual successor to Alta HR, he’s probably on the higher end, because The Fitbit sold for $ 150 when it launched. In 2017.
We didn’t have to wait long to find out. While the WinFuture report doesn’t mention a release date, it appears the image is an official press image, one that won’t be there unless the device is almost ready to launch.
