Fitness wearables have been around for only 20 years, but the market is filled with so many Fitbits, Garmins, and others, it can feel as if they’ve never left us alone.

Its new 4.0 sensor, which is free with a $30 monthly subscription, is a third smaller than the last version but adds blood oxygen and skin temperature measurements.
