This ways that Fitbit has a tracker that it needs the FCC to approve then it can movement forward with product of a product information technology'southward been testing.

It's still unclear how far along the company is in development. Simply if the tracker is already at the FCC then chances are Fitbit could be almost done and is prepare to move onto manufacturing.

Could this new fitness tracker be the Fitbit Accuse 4?

According to the FCC listing the new fettle tracker from Fitbit has a model number of FB417.

This is suggested to be a normal tracker and non a smartwatch. Which means it's perchance coming from the Charge or Inspire lines. Both of which are Fitbit's virtually recent tracker serial.

There's nothing specific to ostend that this would be the Fitbit Charge 4. But the Charge 3 is a quite a bit older now. So the arrival of the Charge four this twelvemonth would brand sense.

In fact if you consider that the Charge 3 was released in the Fall of 2018, Fitbit hasn't had a new tracker in that line for more than a twelvemonth and a half. There's also the possibility that this is a completely new tracker serial that isn't the Inspire or Charge.

Information technology's also least likely to be something in the Inspire line. Since the Inspire Hour was but released last year.

The tracker volition be IP68-certified

Really all of Fitbit's trackers have had water resistance in some course. Then information technology shouldn't exist a surprise if whatever new ones that are released in the hereafter come with it likewise.

Based on the label that was included with the FCC list, this particular tracker will come up with an IP68 certification. This means you should be able to immerse the tracker in water upwardly to one meter.

While you may not go swimming with it oftentimes, it would appear that it would be possible if this rating is applied. Information technology would too exist able to withstand wear during showers and stay protected from spills.

Correct now there's been no announcements made by Fitbit about upcoming trackers for this year. And so there'south no telling what this tracker is or when it's going to be released. Given the timing of some of the by releases though, a Fall launch seems likely.
