Fitbit quietly added a new feature to some of its products that the Apple Watch doesn't have

first noticed the change, and the company has since confirmed the update to Business Insider and several other outlets.

Fitbit's line of Versa smartwatches, its Ionic sports watch, and the Charge 3 wristband have always included hardware that's capable of estimating the variability of oxygen levels in the blood. But the company only began activating this feature last week by rolling out a graph visible in the Fitbit app, displaying how the oxygen level in a user's bloodstream varies during sleep.

The company said it began providing the feature to a small number of users, but that all Fitbit owners with a device that supports blood oxygen monitoring would be able to access these statistics by the end of the month.
