Fitbit is one of the classics and pioneers in the sector of health and sports. This company was bought by Google, and although its present and future are uncertain, it seems that we have first data about the integration of Google within the Fitbit, with a Google Assistant that works really well.
The Fitbit Versa is one of the most balanced watches in terms of health and intelligent functions. Without having an ecosystem of applications like Apple Watch, Tizen or Wear OS, beyond health offers its own mobile payment system and an application store that is gradually becoming more complete.
The biggest addition with the third generation was the arrival of Google Assistant as a new virtual assistant option, joining Alexa, which was available from the Fitbit Versa 2. However, Google Assistant did not come standard with these new devices but can be available with an update.
Google assistant in the Fitbit Versa 3 has been tested and the results are satisfactory. After receiving its update, Google Assistant appears as an application that runs with great speed, highlighting also the agility by which voice commands are executed.
Since the arrival of Google Assistant, the smartwatches of the Google ecosystem have left much to be desired, having missed the old Google Now on many occasions. The most basic smartwatches suffer from inconsistent behavior because it requires 1GB RAM.
Google Assistant in the new Fitbit works better than Wear OS. How Google Assistant will work in the Versa 3 and Sense will be something we will know in the next days, but for the moment it is really interesting.
