Notably, the watch from Google, which acquired Fitbit in 2019, gives users free access to the Daily Readiness Score, a feature that previously required a Fitbit Premium subscription (Pixel Watch 3 owners also get six free months of Fitbit Premium). The publication said that Fitbit has been &#8220;consigned to wearable history&#8221; and reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Google quietly confirmed that there would never be another Fitbit Sense or Versa model produced. From now on, Fitbit-branded devices will be relegated to Google\u2019s best fitness trackers: the Fitbit Inspire, Luxe, and Charge ranges. The smartwatch form factor would be exclusively reserved for the Pixel Watch line.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The story followed a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/wearables\/waiting-for-a-new-fitbit-smartwatch-google-says-thats-the-pixel-watch-3-202314838.html\">Engadget<\/a> last week, when the puiblication said that &#8220;moving forward everything from Fitbit would focus on the more minimalistic, long-lasting trackers the brand has become synonymous with,&#8221; citing a conversation with the senior director of product management for Pixel Wearables, Sandeep Waraich. &#8220;Pixel Watches are our next iteration of smartwatch for Fitbit,&#8221; he reportedly said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=2043998#p3\">Read 8 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=2043998&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wpematico_credit\"><small>Powered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpematico.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge \/ The Fitbit Sense 2.
