Buttons are a touchy subject among smartwatch owners, but new leaked Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 photos from 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> indicate the company is ditching capacitive buttons for both of its next-gen smartwatches. <\/p>\n

We got a hint that Fitbit may be bringing back physical buttons<\/a> on the Versa 4 a few months ago, but it wasn\u2019t clear at the time if that would extend to the Sense 2. The decision isn\u2019t surprising. Fitbit introduced the capacitive button as a way to create a slimmer profile and prevent accidental presses, but in reality, it made for a finicky user experience. Many Versa and Sense users found the button to be unresponsive<\/a> or just plain<\/a> unreliable<\/a>. (Ironically, when I reviewed the original Sense<\/a>, it was way too easy to accidentally trigger the capacitive button.) <\/p>\n

The raised border is a noticeable change from the Sense\u2019s sensor array (via 9to5Google).<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: 9to5Google<\/cite><\/p>\n

Otherwise, it doesn\u2019t appear like Fitbit is rocking the boat too much design-wise. Aside from the physical buttons, the most notable update in these leaks is the Sense 2\u2019s bezel. The original Sense<\/a> built the EKG sensor into a subtle metal frame around the case. This time around, it looks like Fitbit has managed to cram the EKG sensor into the bezel itself, underneath the glass touchscreen. That would suggest you\u2019d have to touch the glass display to complete the EKG circuit \u2014 which would be unusual compared to other EKG-capable smartwatches. The Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, for example, require you to touch a finger to metal buttons. <\/strong>It\u2019s disappointing that Fitbit doesn\u2019t appear to be adding more screen real estate, but hey, if you\u2019re going to stick with an egregiously large bezel in 2022, you might as well make the most of it. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, photos of the Sense 2\u2019s sensor array on the underside of the case reveal a new raised border \u2014 though it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess whether this is a significant change. It could hint at a new sensor, or perhaps the modified design is to ensure better skin contact. What we do know is that the markings near the bottom of the array (they\u2019re extremely faint in the image) indicate the device will have an EKG sensor, body temperature sensor, built-in GPS, and a water resistance rating of 50 meters. <\/p>\n

This sure does look like a Versa smartwatch. (via 9to5Google)<\/em><\/figcaption>Image: 9to5Google<\/cite><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

As for the Versa 4, the new photos don\u2019t reveal much. The sensor array seems to be unchanged from the Versa 3, and according to 9to5Google<\/em>, there\u2019s no EKG or body temperature sensor. It still has a microphone, as well as built-in GPS and 50 meters of water resistance. That suggests that the Versa 4 may not add much on the hardware front, with any major updates coming in the form of new software-based features. To be fair, Fitbit isn\u2019t shy about adding new Versa watches to its product lineup. There have already been four<\/em> versions of the smartwatch since it first launched in 2018<\/a>, each only slightly different from the last.<\/p>\n

Given the photos, it seems like an official launch is on the horizon. That said, 2022 has been an odd year for Fitbit\u2019s usual product cadence. The company generally launches at least one device in the spring and another in late summer. However, Spring 2022 has already come and gone with no new Fitbit in sight. Meanwhile, Google, which owns Fitbit, might also muddy the waters with its plans to launch the Pixel Watch this fall<\/a>. One of the marquee features for the Pixel Watch will be a shiny new Fitbit integration \u2014 which Fitbit is ostensibly putting the finishing touches on with Google. That, plus any new software features for the Sense 2 and Versa 4, is a lot for any one company to be working on at once.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
