A pseudo-button avoids the problem of accidental touches, but is also much less consistent than, well, a real button. But our Sense reviewer complained that, 'I occasionally found myself pressing on the area and not getting any response,' while our Versa 3 reviewer said, 'I had wildly inconsistent experiences with the capacitive button,' which could be 'hit or miss in everyday use.'įitbit eventually patched the button software to provide better responsiveness, but it negatively colored the experience of using its watches for a lot of fans. It's meant to sidestep a sweaty touchscreen and quickly activate a feature during a workout. The Versa 3 and Sense both have a capacitive, haptic faux-button that you squeeze to activate a function. Still, the compact Versa AMOLED display could certainly fit a rudimentary map for turn-by-turn directions while on the go.Īnd lastly, if Fitbit can support Spotify and Pandora, it can support YouTube Music!

Google Maps might be too much to ask for many of the best Garmin watches have map software, but they cost double or triple that of a typical Fitbit. The first two, at least, might work well enough on your phone and let you check a workout calendar or check off a to-do list of exercises. Wear OS supports Calendar, Keep, and Maps. What other apps appear will depend on this new watch's processing power. (Image credit: Jeramy Johnson / Android Central)įor starters, why not replace Fitbit Pay with Google Pay? It'll make people more likely to use tap-to-pay and consolidate the number of services with your credit card info.
