The manufacturer of activity trackers Fitbit, anticipating the imminent announcement of a new generation of Apple Watch, has released updates to two of its products at once.
Flex 2 is much more compact than its predecessor and is able to track the swimming activity of the wearer. The Charge 2 focuses on measuring heart rate.
The Flex 2 is 30% thinner than its predecessor. In addition, the tracker itself is now detachable from the straps, allowing you to change them. Fitbit has introduced seven color options for each day of the week or activity. In addition, the manufacturer has taken care of the Flex 2 customers who use the tracker outside of sports. As an alternative to the straps, various bracelets are available, including steel and 22-carat gold. Thus, the Flex 2 will look appropriate in any setting.
The gadget was able to dive into water to a depth of 50 meters and became the first Fitbit activity tracker designed for swimming. Accordingly, the Fitbit App will be able to take into account the activity of users in the water. Flex 2 also can automatically recognize the type of exercise that the user is performing, and, depending on this, take into account the activity.
The tracker continues to feature customizable LED displays capable of displaying incoming calls and notifications alongside traditional sporting achievements.
The Flex 2 starts at $ 99.95.
Charge 2 will cost more buyers - at $ 149.95, but it will also offer more serious features. The tracker continuously measures your heart rate to get the most accurate picture of calories burned and overall health.
In addition, the Charge 2 has two unique features. The first will improve the user's heart rate. For this, it is proposed to perform special exercises under the direct control of the device.
The second important feature of Charge 2 is breathing sessions. The gadget will teach the owner to breathe correctly and use these techniques for relaxation and rest. The tracker is capable of conducting two- and five-minute sessions. Fitbit research has shown that exercising regularly can help reduce stress and irritability, as well as normalize blood pressure.
The Charge 2 allows you to track your activity during your workout. The tracker uses the GPS module of your smartphone to get the most accurate statistics and save routes while running and other activities. In addition, the new Fitbit can help with interval training.
The Charge 2 features a completely redesigned design and interchangeable strap system. In addition, the user will be able to customize the appearance of the interface by choosing clocks and other design elements to their liking.
Pre-orders for both trackers are already open. Retail sales will begin in September and October.
