Fitbit smartwatches gain new watch faces and improved connectivity in update

The Fitbit Charge 6 smartwatch has received an update. Version 220.21 arrives five months after the last update, version 214.24, which added new Bluetooth security features and status indicators for features like do not disturb and sleep mode.

With version 220.21, the Fitbit Charge 6 gets three new watch faces (shown below). They are named Momentum, Geometric and Axira. According to the brand, they deliver “more comprehensive data at a glance”, making it easier to check your health and fitness stats. This update also brings support for unencrypted connections, which should allow you to connect the Charge 6 to a wider range of exercise machines. Users will then be able to monitor their heart rate in real time on the fitness equipment.

On top of this, there are said to be minor bug fixes and improvements for the Charge 6. Smaller updates also bring bug fixes and tweaks to the Inspire 3, Sense 2 and Versa 4 wearables. You can find the release notes for all of these updates in Google’s support pages.

Version 220.21 is currently rolling out in phases to users of the Charge 6 smartwatch (curr. from $149.99 at Amazon). When it is available in your region, you will be able to install the update via the Fitbit app by going to Today tab > Devices and selecting your wearable.
