Fitbit Sense 2: Everything we know and what we want to see (Updated: July 1) https://ift.tt/OACDj6S

Update: July 1, 2022 (12:30 PM ET): We’ve updated our Fitbit Sense 2 hub with new hints regarding an interesting design detail gleaned from a deleted video.

Original article: May 24, 2022: The original Fitbit Sense landed in 2020 as the company’s most advanced smartwatch, laden with new sensors and packing the loftiest price yet. While it might not look or function too differently from the Fitbit Versa 3, the original Sense brought new features not yet seen on any of its trackers thus far. With that in mind, can we expect the same with the Fitbit Sense 2?

The likely sequel to the flagship Fitbit could be just around the corner, but what do we know so far? We take a look at the latest news and rumors, and rundown some of the Fitbit Sense 2 features we’d like to see.

Will there be a Fitbit Sense 2?

It’s tough to imagine that Fitbit will cancel the Sense series, even if the first edition model was a mildly upgraded Versa. There’s also evidence that a Sense 2 is on the way. An APK teardown performed by 9to5Google suggests that a smartwatch codenamed Hera or Rhea could be the company’s new flagship. The other would likely be the Fitbit Versa 4.

Fitbit hasn’t confirmed that it is working on a Sense sequel, but in an interview with CNET, Fitbit CEO James Park notes that both the Versa and Sense lines will “continue to be very important” in its future.

When will the Fitbit Sense 2 release date be?

A Fitbit Sense follow-up is well overdue. The company’s original flagship launched back in September 2020, so we wouldn’t be too shocked if the Sense 2 launched in September 2022. Keep in mind the Google Pixel Watch‘s expected October 2022 launch. Given Google owns Fitbit, it’s unlikely that Google would want to launch the two devices in the same month.
