Fitbit Versa Fitness Watch Special Edition (Lavender Woven/Rose Gold Aluminum)

The Fitbit Versa Lite is an affordable entry-level smartwatch that provides everything beginners need to start monitoring their health and improving their fitness routines.

• +

  Lots of features for the price., Sleek, lightweight design., Long battery life., Easy to use.

• -

  No on-device music storage., Sleep tracking is a bit finicky.

After two attempts with the Blaze and the Ionic, Fitbit finally made a successful, promising smartwatch. The Versa is what the Blaze should have been from the beginning, but I don't believe Fitbit could have made the Versa if it hadn't developed the Blaze and the Ionic first.

• +

  Lightweight design that's water-resistant up to 50 meters., Bold, full-color touchscreen., Good battery life., New Today dashboard makes finding important daily activity info easy., Great sleep tracking., Accessible developer tools with Fitbit Studio., Fitbit OS is growing, albeit slowly.

• -

  Interchangeable bands are hard to remove and replace on the device., NFC for Fitbit Pay only on special models., Female health tracking and Android message replies not available until later this year., Only one watch face can be saved on-device at one time.

Apart from the absence of GPS, the Fitbit Versa perfectly fulfils its mission. It will attract an audience looking for a complete and affordable wearable. Its design, battery life and companion app prove invaluable and make the Versa a practical connected watch for everyday use.

  Design, Fitbit app, Water resistant to 50m, Battery life

  No GPS, Only Deezer

The Versa Lite Edition is Fitbit's best smartwatch proposition yet, taking the already-excellent Versa and streamlining it into a more affordable package. The loss of swim tracking is a downer, but otherwise the Versa offers tremendous value. It's Fitbit's best smartwatch yet.

• +

  Four-day-plus battery, Great price, Decent fitness features

Fitbit's new Versa is a cheaper, more comfortable, fitness-focused smartwatch than its model for athletes, the Ionic, but it still can't compare to the Apple Watch.

• +

  Really comfortable , Super light , Very bright screen , Superb fitness tracking , Long battery life

• -

  No built-in GPS , Bands are difficult to swap , Fitbit OS is still weak , NFC costs extra , Takes forever to change watch faces via app

There are very few reasons why we wouldn’t recommend the Versa if it’s something you’re considering. One of the few downsides is really a problem with Fitbit overall, and that’s the lack of integration with Apple Health and Google Fit. It does lack built-in GPS, but the price reflects that lack.

• +

  Priced well, Style is nice, Tracking capabilities are top-notch, Basic smartphone functions are useful, Water resistant to 50 meters, 4+ day battery life

• -

  Doesn’t integrate with Apple Health, No on-board GPS, Can be buggy/slow to make changes, The charger is not great

The Fitbit Versa boasts strong fitness features for a smartwatch. The company once again proved their mastery of crafting fitness devices. It may look bland on its own but the various strap choices are more than enough to make it look sassy.

• +

  Impressive Fitness Features, Stellar battery life, Improved UI, Sturdy build, Beautiful Screen

• -

  Lack of apps, Lack of GPS, Tedious software setups

For the past couple of years, Fitbit has flirted with making a smartwatch to compete with the Apple Watch, Pebble, and Samsung. But, until recently, the company had always stopped short of calling one of its products a smartwatch.

• +

  Battery life, Staple Fitbit fitness features, Design

• -

  App store is lacking, Only available in one size

The Fitbit Versa is the best fusion of smartwatch and general fitness tracker under $200, if you can live with its limitations.

• +

  The Fitbit Versa is a compact, lightweight smartwatch and fitness tracker with an improved interface for easier fitness stat readouts. It’s water-resistant to 50 meters, and works with iOS and Android. Many of the apps and watch faces are useful and fun. Multiday battery life beats the Apple Watch.

• -

  Its battery life falls short of other Fitbit fitness trackers. The apps and watch faces aren’t always easy to load. Music transfer to the watch is complicated and limited. There's no on-board GPS and the charger is bulky. Tap-to-pay model costs a bit more in the US.

While all these minor gripes mean it isn’t as slick as the Apple Watch, the Fitbit Versa comes surprisingly close. Keen runners and cyclists will be better served by a watch with GPS inside but the Versa is something you can wear every day without being conscious of the lump of silicon, glass and...

I thought a smartwatch was what I so I asked a friend who is clearly an Apple Fanboy how he liked his Apple watch. He showed me dozens of things he can do with it but when I asked what he used every day, only telling time came to mind and it had to be charged every day.

I bought the Fitbit versa the first week of January 2019. I love it! It’s lightweight and doesn’t bother me to keep it on while sleeping. The battery lasts a long time. For me, it lasts at least 5 days. I went to the beach over the summer and kept my Fitbit on while I swam in the ocean and pool!

I love my versa. I don't take it off unless to charge. I purchased it in December I have it for 4 months now I love it I cannot complain just perfect for me. One of my favorite features is that while I am working I can't answer my phone or see who's calling me on my cell phone , but my versa will...

I really like it other that I have to turn my phone and Versa off and off every day so they can reconnect. I’m about to turn it back in to REI for a 2nd time to get another one that might stay connected.

I am over 65, not in great shape, and not great with computers. I really appreciate that the Fitbit Versa is easy to use, and that it encourages me toward reasonable fitness goals, and doesn't make me feel inadequate. For ex.

Disappointed with the VERSA - purchased in January now all of a sudden the battery isn’t holding a charge. I have to charge every day. Did some research - apparently there are issues with the battery but when I called Fitbit they want me to charge 2 hours, sync 5-6 times a day call them back so they...

The overall appearance of this smart watch is nice ,but I could not get it to connect to set up the watch itself . Tried all the forums for help ,maybe it's just me .I might look into another style ,because I like having a device that tracks my heartbeat due to my afib.only giving 3 stars due to...

I've had a Fitbit since the very first model, and like this best of all of them. I've yet to set up most of the apps, so I can't review those. Navigation takes a bit of getting used to. I use the exercise tracking feature when I'm hiking, but find it's not very accurate for distance.
