Fitbit Versa Smart Watch, Black/Black Aluminium, One Size (S & L Bands Included)

Had the Charge 2 for a while and loved it. Then switched to the latest apple watch at the encouragement of a few friends. While that apple watch was nice for the few months I wore it, I found I was not using a lot of the features in it that may have been why it was double the cost of the Versa. On the apple watch I found the battery would not last more than 36 hours and the phone app was no where near what Fitbit had in terms of activity and sleep tracking as well as just overall display of the many data points.When the Versa came out I said why not try it, hearing how slim it was and the extended battery life. It was that or go back to my Charge 2 that is also a fantastic tracker. My goal was to get back to the Fitbit app. I love this watch/fitness tracker and know this is going to be a huge hit for Fitbit. The app I love is now back in my life for the detailed activity and sleep tracker and the battery life is nearly as good as my Charge 2. I have gotten five days of battery life on the Fitbit Versa already - this is with a 45 minute workout on each of those five days included. At the end of the five days I was at 28% remaining, telling me I had another day or two of charge remaining. The texts all come through, the watch rings when I get a all on my iPhone, the screen is crystal clear, the watch itself is very slim compared to apple(no bump on the underside), there must be hundreds of clock faces to choose from, and it has all the apps I could think of needing in the watch store (the store is already noticeably growing). This is the fitness tracker\watch to get. Very impressed and kudos to Fitbit for a well thought out fitness focused watch that is a true competitor to the apple watch.Just a quick comment on the setup of the Versa. I saw a few comments here about how the setup took 30 minutes or so to complete with an update. My comment is so what? I just put my Versa on the charger, used the app to update it, walked away, came back and wha-la - it was done! It hasn't stopped since!Enjoy!

I had an original Huawei smart watch that I loved every thing about except battery life. I could get a day out of it if I only used it for a watch and notifications. If I tried to make use of many apps on it then I could forget it lasting a whole day. It was nice to have Google assistant to control my smart home but unfortunately it quit taking a charge so I started looking for something new.I decided battery life was important for me as I couldn't use many of the "smart" features anyway on the Huawei due to battery life impact. And I wanted to have better fitness integration also.I decided to go with the Fitbit Versa and I am glad I did. It is well documented how well the battery life and fitness tracking work so I will not say more than it does a better job than I expected and I love the sleep tracking!I want to talk about the smart watch side of the Versa. Of course I wish I could talk to it and use Google assistant but I will give it up for battery life. I wanted to be able to control music and podcasts playback from my watch and was worried how this was going to work. All I had to do was go into settings and enable notifications from the apps I want to control and then I can start a play list or podcast on my phone. From the watch I only have swipe down, open the notification, and the controls are there! I used to build my own watchfaces on the Huawei watch with the "watch maker" app. I found a similar app in the fitbit app store called "maker". I haven't tried it yet as I am happy with the fitbit watch face I am using for now, but I am happy to the option is there for when I get bored and want to change things up later. It was nice being able to control my smartthings lights with the Google assistant on the Huawei but I can use my phone if needed and I have Alexa and Google home all over my house for that so it is less important. There is an app called "switchr" that will let me press buttons on my Versa to control them but I have not figured it out yet. That's my fault not the Versa as I have not used IFTTT much and I need to fix things on that end.Overall this is the perfect watch for me. It has all of the smarts that I care about. Of course Fitbit has the fitness part down as that's what they are known for. And I get the best of both worlds with great battery life. The Versa is small, lightweight, comfortable, and the best looking square watch In my opinion. I can't get over how thin the Versa is compared to other smart watches. It is thinner than some old dumb digital watches I have seen. Fitbit really got this one right!
