Fitbit watches and trackers to get a premium feature for free

Surprise: Fitbit wearers will now get a feature previously reserved for Premium subscribers.

As 9to5Google noted, the fitness company has rolled out its readiness score for free to its trackers and watchers. This update was in conjunction with the launch of the Pixel Watch 3 this summer. (For the unaware, Google owns Fitbit.)

So...what is a readiness score? In short, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a number that tells you how prepared you are for the day. It takes your activity levels, sleep, and heart rate data to calculate your readiness score.

As Fitbit describes, "Daily Readiness Score uses your Fitbit data to assess whether you're ready to work out or should prioritize recovery. Over time, it will help you understand how your activity levels, sleep patterns, and heart rate variability from previous days contribute to how energized you feel today."

Basically, Fitbit will spit out a score between zero and 100, corresponding to low, moderate, or high amounts of readiness. So long as your Fitbit app is updated, the readiness score should be available to any watch or tracker, including the Luxe, Charge 5/6, Inspire 2/3, Sense, Sense 2, and Versa 2/3/4.
