Last week, Fitbit announced that they would be launching new wearables this spring: the Fitbit Versa Lite, Fitbit Inspire, and Inspire HR, as well as the Fitbit Ace 2 for kids. Today, three of those trackers are officially available to purchase for presale on the retailer's website (the Ace 2 will launch later this summer). Here's what you need to know about each of the new models, as well as how they differ from existing Fitbits.
In general, these new Fitbit products aim to make the smartwatches and fitness trackers more accessible and affordable for everyone. The company also announced that they will soon be redesigning the Fitbit app to make it easier to personalize your dashboard and connect with others in the community.
Also good: All of these new wearables are swim-proof and come with an impressive new line of accessories.
The Versa Lite ($160; fitbit.com) is the latest Versa smartwatch—and it's $40 cheaper. Although this is a streamlined version of the original Versa, the Versa Lite still has the same core features, including sleep, heart rate, and general activity tracking; access to a slew of handy apps and GPS; and a battery that can hold its charge for four days at a time. It's also available in fun new colors, including eye-catching mulberry, bright marina blue, and a pretty lilac, as well as basic white. Note that certain features from the Versa are missing from the Versa Lite, such as the ability to stream music. But if you're after a pared-down, more affordable smartwatch, this is a terrific choice.
Sleek and streamlined, the Inspire HR ($100; fitbit.com) is Fitbit's newest 24/7 heart rate tracking device. It lets you monitor your sleep stages, cardio levels, and physical activity with more than 15 goal-based exercise modes and up to five days of battery life. Also cool: You can access guided breath sessions and have the ability to tap into your phone's GPS to see real-time distance traveled. The Inspire HR is available in white, black, and lilac (pictured).
Now Fitbit's most affordable tracker, the Inspire ($70; fitbit.com) is a pared-down version of the Inspire HR. The Inspire has many of the same core features, such as all-day activity and calorie burn tracking, sleep tracking, and automatic exercise recognition, all with a sleek touchscreen and the same battery life.
Unlike the Inspire HR, it does not have the heart rate features (you cannot monitor 24/7 heart rate, resting heart rate, or heart rate zones, for example). The Inspire is also missing a few other features, such as the exercise modes and breath sessions (you can compare both models on Fitbit.com). But all in all, this is still an impressive tracker at an unbeatable price point.

Leaked pictures show that a day after the control of Bosasa was handed back to Gavin Watson and his fellow directors, armed security guards were called in to escort staff off the premises after they were summarily suspended on Friday morning.
News24 understands the suspended staff members, one of whom was summarily dismissed, co-operated with provisional liquidators and as a result, were forced to leave.
WATCH: Hugs, song and joy as ‘triumphant’ Gavin Watson returns to Bosasa
On Thursday, the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg granted Bosasa’s application for an order declaring the special resolutions the company’s board had taken to place it under voluntary liquidation on February 12, null and void.
The court ordered the provisional liquidators, Cloete Murray, Tania Oosthuizen and Ralph Lutchman, to hand over control of the company to its directors within 12 hours.
A video shared on Twitter on Thursday showed a triumphant Watson returning to the offices while staff sang and hugged him.

Watson’s daughter Lindsay, who also worked at the company and who was fired by Murray in his capacity as liquidator, was spotted at the Bosasa offices on Friday morning from at least 07:00.
Watson himself was also there from around the same time.
Murray and his colleagues, who are among other liquidators who were appointed, were also ordered to pay the costs of the application in their personal capacities as they had opposed the application. However, eNCA reported that they would appealing the court’s decision. Despite several requests to Murray and his attorneys, News24 was unable to verify the decision to appeal.
Witch hunt
News24 has learnt that staff who had co-operated with Murray and the others in any way have been suspended “pending investigation”.
So far, at least four staff members have been suspended, News24 understands, and more may follow.
This includes Gina Pieters and Magda van Rensburg, who have both been employed at Bosasa for around 18 years.

She was escorted out of her office by the guards after being suspended pending an investigation, allegedly stemming from her cooperation with liquidators. In the foreground is an HR representative.

Van Rensburg was informed that her contract was summarily terminated after she was escorted from her office by the armed guards, dressed in Blackrox Intelligence Security Services uniforms, Bosasa’s security subsidiary company.
Two others, whose names are known to News24, were also suspended.
Pieters was previously an assistant to former Bosasa chief operations officer Angelo Agrizzi, while Van Rensburg previously worked as an assistant to Andries van Tonder, the former chief financial officer.
Both Agrizzi and Van Tonder have appeared before the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture to give evidence of grand corruption at Bosasa spanning nearly two decades.
Bosasa director and spokesperson Papa Leshabane declined to comment on the suspensions.
“Your moles have given you information, do what you want with it,” Leshabane said.

A consignment of books co-authored by Movement for Democratic Change MP Tendai Biti has allegedly been seized by the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) in Zimbabwe.
Biti co-authored the book, Democracy Works, with former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, Dr Greg Mills from the Brenthurst Foundation and Jeffrey Herbst, president of the American Jewish University.
He tweeted on Thursday night that 18 copies of the book had been dispatched by its publishers to Zimbabwe early in January.
“We were ridiculously asked to pay duty, which we did. Now the president’s office, a euphemism for the CIO, has abducted these books. Who does this?” he tweeted.
The books had been sent from Johannesburg to Harare by publishers Pan Macmillan through the courier company DHL. DHL first contacted Biti to inform him that he had to pay duty on the books, which was strange to him, but he obliged.
He was then contacted by the person who was supposed to collect the books who said they had been seized and were at the president’s office.
“I was told to go to the airport to sort it out, but I haven’t gone because I’m not going to allow myself to be inconvenienced by a fascist state,” Biti told News24.
Terry Morris, managing director of Pan Macmillan, said he was very worried about the books being seized.
“This book is a positive commentary on the power of democracy to ensure economic growth and political stability and is an important book for citizens to be able to access and read. Freedom to read, discuss and debate are fundamental pillars of democracy that should be protected and celebrated.”
