The company has sourced majority of the watch faces from third party designers and developers with Fitbit’s OS SDK tools. However, it has also thrown in some creations of its own, in the mix. Apart from that, with the new Fitbit’s leaderboard app, you will be now able to compare stats of your fitness side by side with friends and family who also own the iconic, thus motivating you to beat their stats and overall making it an appealing and engaging experience.

Moreover, the Fitbit labs here now allows you test all the experimental apps and watch faces also. And on the other hand, FitBit pay now gains support for multiple cards from various authorized banks as well. Also, the Dezeer Plus app subscribers will be able to get music directly on their wrists starting from next year. Overall, a nice update and a step in right direction for Fitbit and we hope them to bring such updates twice or thrice a year.
