Fitbit Debuts New Versa 2 Smartwatch and $10/Month 'Fitbit Premium' Service

The Versa 2 includes direct support for Amazon Alexa, which you can trigger by saying "Hey, Alexa" and then asking about the weather or any other smart assistant command phrase. There's also direct support for Spotify, as well as notifications for call, calendar, and texts from your connected smartphone.

Otherwise, the Versa 2 supports NFC payments, includes a heart rate sensor, and has water resistance up to 50 meters. The new smartwatch will support Fitbit's new Sleep Score feature, which factors in your daytime activities and sleep time to judge your overall sleep quality, as well as Smart Wake. This feature figures out the best time to wake you depending on your sleep habits.

For its subscription service, Fitbit Premium, Fitbit said it will provide a holistic view of your health that other health and fitness apps lack. This includes nine guided programs to help you get more sleep, wake up energized, increase your activity, manage nutrition, and create overall lasting healthy habits.

Programs include actionable coaching, daily tips and tricks, structured workout plans, relaxation tools, recipe suggestions, and educational content. Fitbit will launch additional activity, sleep and nutrition programs by the end of the year. The company plans to launch a one-to-one personal coaching service next year as well.

Fitbit Premium will debut in September and cost $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. The Versa 2 is available for presale today for $199.95 and will launch on September 15.

So sick of subscription services. Every company is jumping on this bandwagon to have never-ending income but not everything needs to be a subscription.

If Fitbit convinces you to spend $10/month on a watch subscription then you need holistic help with your spending habits.

The subscription you're getting with Fitbit is not comparable to the stuff Apple is offering

Fitbit, like Nike who has Nike Training Club at $15 a month, is offering personalised training and editorial content for those who want to take fitness more seriously
Don’t give Apple any ideas.
