Fitbit Sense & Versa losing 3rd-party watch faces this month, existing downloads remain

Google announced today that Fitbit Sense and Versa smartwatches will soon lose the ability to “install or update third-party apps and clocks.”

This change to the Fitbit App Gallery applies to the Versa, Versa 2, Versa 3, Versa 4, Sense, and Sense 2.

Existing “third-party apps or clock faces installed on your Fitbit device” will remain available, but you can no longer download new ones (or update them) starting November 28. As such, “if you choose to delete an app or clock face, or factory reset your device, you will no longer be able to re-install it.”

Instead, the Fitbit App Gallery will “exclusively feature apps and clock faces created by Fitbit and Google.”

The November 28 deadline also applies to third-party developers. Google will “no longer support uploading new apps and clock faces or updating existing ones.”

“Before then, you can download your existing projects or request their removal from the Fitbit App Gallery.”

“After this date, the Gallery Admin tools will be retired, and your content will remain accessible only to users who have already installed it.”

Google winding down Fitbit OS for smartwatches is not particularly surprising as the company has been all-in on Wear OS and the Pixel Watch. That said, the Sense 2 and Versa 4 should probably no longer be on sale .
