Fitbit said it had received "a very limited number" of injury reports. The total number of the smartwatches recalled was less than 0.01% of units sold.

Google`s acquired health app is preparing for the trackers to be used to help determine why you might not be sleeping well or feeling unrested in the morning. The company recently announced that it is finally rolling out support for two-factor authentication (2FA). Fitbit is also working on another sleep-related feature, entitled "Your sleep animal".

Fitbit would soon give a major face-lift to the "Fitbit app" so users can personalise their dashboard, better understand data, discover new content and easily connect with one another on its social community.

The feature would be available on-device for Fitbit Versa and Fitbit Ionic users and to all Fitbit app users beginning May.

The Ionic smartwatch would cost $299.95, while the Fitbit Flyer wireless headphones will cost $130.
