We\u2019re empowering you with the tools you need to better understand and take control of your health and wellness.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLooking at your SpO2 trends in the Health Metrics dashboard<sup>4<\/sup> may help you see when there are important changes in your fitness and wellness, like increased stress or fatigue, or signs of respiratory issues or changes in your environment, such as altitude or air quality. By tracking your SpO2 levels over time, you can see when there may be important changes in your fitness and wellness.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFitbit has enhanced its SpO2 experience, enabling Sense and Versa 3 Premium members to track blood oxygen levels while sleeping and see their average in the Fitbit app without using a specific SpO2 clock face.<sup>1<\/sup> For those who prefer to see their nightly SpO2 levels at a glance on their wrist, Fitbit still has its free signature SpO2 clock face, and will offer seven additional new SpO2 clock faces in the app gallery by the end of the year. Since its launch in September, Fitbit\u2019s signature SpO2 clock face has more than one million downloads from the Fitbit app gallery.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>More convenience and connectedness, right from the wrist<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nIn addition, Fitbit is elevating the on-device experience by offering even more everyday convenience, turning its smartwatches into devices you can\u2019t live without. Starting today, Fitbit is delivering a choice of voice assistants with the launch of Google Assistant in the U.S.,<sup>5<\/sup> so you can start a yoga exercise in your living room, check the weather forecast before stepping out for a walk, set an alarm or check your sleep duration, and even control your smart home devices<sup>6<\/sup> \u2013 all from the wrist with the touch of a button. Google Assistant will roll out to additional markets, including Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore and the U.K. in English in late 2020.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith Alexa, you have the added capability to receive audible replies from the on-device voice assistant, making it easier than ever to stay connected.<sup>7<\/sup> Fitbit plans to make audible replies available for Google Assistant in the first half of 2021 as it continues to explore more features to bring even more convenience on-the-go.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWith both Sense and Versa 3, you\u2019ll also be able to take hands-free Bluetooth calls<sup>8<\/sup> with the on-device microphone and speakers, send incoming calls to voicemail and control volume without reaching for a phone \u2013 so when you\u2019re taking the dog on a walk around the neighborhood or getting curbside pick-up for groceries, you won\u2019t miss a beat. Android<sup>TM<\/sup> users can also respond to text messages on-the-go with voice-to-text commands.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>More content and motivation with Fitbit Premium<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nTo complement the exciting Sense and Versa 3 software updates, Fitbit continues to offer expanded features and content for Fitbit Premium members.
