Fitbit has announced that older Versa and Sense smartwatches will lose access to the Fitbit App Gallery starting November 28, 2026. This means third-party apps and custom watch faces will no longer be available for download on these legacy devices.
What's Affected
The change specifically impacts the Fitbit Versa (1st gen through Versa 3) and Sense (1st gen) smartwatches. Users who already have apps installed can continue using them, but they won't be able to download new ones or update existing ones after the cutoff date.
The Bigger Picture
This is part of Google's ongoing consolidation of Fitbit into the Wear OS ecosystem. As Google pushes users toward newer Pixel Watch devices, the support window for older Fitbit hardware continues to shrink. For users who rely on third-party apps, this may be the push to consider upgrading.
While the core health tracking features will continue to work, the loss of the app ecosystem reduces the versatility of these once-popular devices.
