Create a SDK for the Fitbit Sense Watch

Let third party developer, like myself, create new apps and new clockfaces for the Fitbit Sense.
This is needed because:
In order to attract more people to use the new Fitbit Sense Healthwatch it would be beneficial for them to add new functions and customize the look and feel of the Fitbit Sense by installing new apps and clockfaces.
I'd use this: Daily

Thanks for the feedback, we're glad you're excited to begin development for Fitbit Sense. We will have an SDK that supports Fitbit OS 5.0 available soon!

That sounds awsome!

So if I would preorder the Fitbit Sense today I would eventually being able to create apps and clockfaces like I do today for the Ionic?
I understand there might be a delay between when the Sense is available and when the SDK is available later. But as long as there will be a SDK available I am ready to buy and try the new Sense!

Where can I find more information about the SDK that supports Fitbit OS 5.0?

Is there a way to get Beta Access to this version SDK and Web API?  We'd like to begin developing straight away for the Sense watch.
