Have had the Apple Watch and Garmin Fenix 3 - here's why Fitbit won me over.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 5, 2018

It all started when I was given a fitbit charge 2 from my work in April '17. At the time I had a Fenix 3 which I loved, but really admittedly I was not probably their typical target audience outdoorsy type triathlete who hikes a hundred miles every weekend and cycles 20 miles to work. No. I didnt do much at all. But I did love that it was a good looking smart watch. Before that I had an Apple watch, which didnt last long because charging another device EVERY day is just torture.
So I gladly received the Fitbit and thought what the heck I will give it a try. For a couple weeks I wore it alongside my Garmin.
The Fitbit sleep tracking and app were immediately a long way ahead of anything else I had tried. The App is very slick and really easy to use. Garmin's on the other hand must have been designed and built by a developer - not a user. By turning off notifications and auto wake to the display, you can get just over a week out of it too. (Ok the Garmin won there with about 2 weeks)
Here's the clincher though. The interactive and social element of the Fitbit app had my colleagues around the world participating in step challenges, and who knew, I am quite competitive so things got quite heated and we all found ourselves doing things like going for long walks just before midnight to get an edge on colleagues. Soon I had friends joining too, and not long after that I joined the gym and started running on a treadmill 2 to 3 times a week. That was just over a year ago and I have stuck at it. Having now lost quite a bit of weight and I have honestly never felt better. The weekly step challenges havent stopped and nor has the satisfaction of occasionally winning them.
So for me, this was the next step. Buying one which does a bit more, and arguably looks a bit better. I still think they could look better (the Garmin was a very handsome watch - but a bit too heavy and on the big side), and maybe one day they'll release something a bit more masculine.
I am very very happy with this Versa. It does more than I expected (or need) and I really love that it has the customisable faces and includes all the things I found useful and loved about my Charge 2. I went for the special edition as I like the idea of a cloth strap. Sleeping with the Charge 2's rather grippy rubber strap wasn't the best and this watch is very comfortable to wear sleeping.
I have read some reviews that claim it is light and feels cheap because it's very light - I disagree and would count the light weight as a pro because it is essentially a device some owners never take off, so like a well made pair of sunglasses - you almost dont want to know you are wearing it! And it does do just that.
I've only had it a short time and I was a bit concerned about the 4 day battery life, but I have squeezed a week out of mine by immediately turning off notifications and auto wake for the display, plus I tend not to muck around with all the many other features I am sure most people will use and love- for me those are gimmicks and notifications were novel on my first Apple watch - but then just a distraction and can be invasive.
One gimmick I do like (more as a novelty) is being able to control my Phillips Hue lighting from the watch, my inner 10 year old boy loves that kind of thing.
Hope this helps you make the decision to buy one, I personally cant recommend Fitbit enough. I almost owe them my health in a way.

This is my second Fitbit.I had Fitbit surge for 2 years.Now I shifted to versa.It is much cheaper option to Apple watch. ( Of course Apple watch is king , and we all may not offer it.
PROS : 1) NO WEIGHT
2) LONG BATTERY.Even with heavy use it will last for atleats 2-3 days.
3) Continuous heart rate which is most accurate
4) Sleep tracking.This is the segment where Fitbit is winner over all ( even Apple )
5) Most accurate in terms of steps,heart rate ,calories and other parameters
6) It has connected GPS option but with this distance is not accurate .I adjusted my stride length manually for both walking and running and tested it against GPS tracking with Fitbit surge and mobile GPS apps.It was nearly accurate with this.What more you expect without GPS !
7) Many useful apps like yoga to motivate you
8) Sedentary reminder which alerts you take 250 steps every hour
9) Neumeous Beautiful customisable watch faces
10) No skin irritation
So my advice is to for it blindly.Trust me ( I am a doctor ) you will not regret.

Per me il top

Reviewed in Italy on May 1, 2018

Sono fedele a fitbit da anni, questo Versa mi ha soddisfatto a pieno, esteticamente è davvero bello, non troppo grande e si adatta perfettamente anche ad un polso femminile sul quale fa davvero un ottima figura, il limite edition acquistato da me è davvero uno sportivo ma dal carattere elegante, molto più bello che in foto. per nulla fastidioso al polso, leggero e per nulla ingombrante, nemmeno di notte dormendo mi accorgo di averlo. l estetica quindi darei anche 10 stelle. Tecnologia e funzionalità top , non trovo per ora dei difetti a questo Versa, ottimo display con ottima risoluzione, ottimi quadranti, buona scelta di app da poter installare, ottimo e preciso il conteggio passi, precisa la rilevazione del battito cardiaco. la batteria dura tranquillamente 4 giorni e si ricarica velocemente, base di ricarica davvero carina. il pacco contiene 4 cinturuni, 2 carbone limited edition taglia s e l , 2 Total black nelle 2 taglie. insomma difetti di questo Versa? be io per ora non ne ho trovati.

Great piece of kit!

Really like this Fitbit it’s light to wear, and sleep in. I like the two different straps I’m using the black as I’m using it to track my swim and is easier to dry than the fabric strap. I swam 44 lengths first time I used it and it tracked them all and time and calories burned . I like the sleep tracker too it also tells you where your supposed to be with your different types of sleep deep, light, Rem sleep for your age. I can track how many callories I put in my body by inputting the foods I eat during the day and it tells me how many I’ve used too . It knows what kind of workout I’m doing cardio or swim without me inputting it, a very clever piece of kit! Would buy again much improved from my last Fitbit their are lots of other features I haven’t used them all ....yet! I’ve only had it 3 days. Only fall down doesn’t always light up when I go to look at it your supposed to just turn your wrist towards you and it lights up but doesn’t always work it’s not the end of the world though if that’s the only downfall.

Batterie ne tient pas la charge

Reviewed in France on December 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Si au début, la montre avait effectivement les 4 jours d'autonomie annoncée (ce qui n'est pas énorme, mais acceptable), cette autonomie diminue au fur et à mesure. Après 6 mois, elle est à peine de 34 heures, je recharge une à 2 fois par jour.
Dommage car sinon c'est un produit intéressant.
Mise à jour 03/2019 : Produit échangé par Fitbit, la tenue de charge est correcte pour l'instant. Je passe de 2 à 4 *.

Upgrade from my Charge 2

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Bought the versa charcoal special edition to upgrade from my charge 2 which was still working well but the battery was starting to drain quickly. A few friends had upgraded to the versa from the charge 2 and highly recommended it, so this was my main reason for choosing the versa. I was temporarily looking at getting a garmin (for running) but then most my friends have fitbits and we keep each other motivated on the app side of things so I found it hard to move away from the fitbit brand. I am also familiar with the app which for me as I get older, I prefer the familiarity and simplicity. This watch is a fab upgrade. Was tossing up between the versa and Ionic too and I am glad I chose the versa. The ionic has GPS but I always have my phone with me anyway when i go running so I didn't see the point of going for the bulkier more masculine looking watch just for this feature. The versa is a colour touch screen. You can select different watch faces and a few different apps to put on the versa (via your phone - I have an iPhone XR and it connected seamlessly to the Versa) I was able to transfer a playlist from iTunes onto the versa but not sure how often I am going to use this feature seeing as I carry my phone around and connect my bluetooth headphones to my phone anyway but its a nice option to have if you go out for a phone free walk (which to be honest for safety reasons will not happen often!) Not too bothered about things like fitbit pay - my bank isn't supported anyway. I wasn't looking for a smart watch like the apple watch as it's too much on a small screen. I wanted a watch mainly for fitness and summarised information and that is what I got. The watch is light that you forget you have it on sometimes. The Charge 2 was quite bulky in comparison and it did tend to rest awkwardly on my wrist (I have small wrists) but with the versa I do not have this problem and it is comfy to wear. I also highly recommend that at the same time you buy the versa you also purchase the fitbit versa cases. I bought a clear one and used it straight away and it has saved my watch from scratches already!

Upgrade from a Charge HR2

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

I had a Charge HR2 and fancied upgrading to a smart watch style Fitbit, but I needed it to be waterproof. The Versa looked like a good deal especially as it had a little money off when I purchased.
I ordered the Special Edition, this came in a nice box with a special edition charcoal strap, as well as a charger, a rubber strap in black and all the documentation. Currently Fitbit Pay doesn't work well in the UK, only about 3 random banks are supported, this might change but who knows...very annoying as it's part of the reason I purchased this.
The Versa has a battery life of about 4-5days with everything turned off like the always-on connected features, messaging, music etc. I have the notifications turned on but nothing else and I get about 4 days max.
If you are used to the better battery life in other watches you might be disappointed.
The variety of watch faces available for free is pretty good, and they are rather nice, with new ones appearing all the time, but alot have to be paid for and some don't work well or suck your battery dry.
The features on the watch are very good, a little step up from the Charge HR2, it looks nice on a female wrist too and there are a good selection of straps available if you want something a bit more snazzy.
It is waterproof although I haven't put that to the test yet, it doesn't have GPS but uses the GPS in your phone.
Overall I like it, it is slightly disappointing as a smart watch, but the fitness aspect works well. I have found the sleep recording to be less accurate or reliable than my Charge HR2 was as well, but overall I am enjoying my time with it. If you are a serious fitness geek however you might want something a bit more specialised...
