Love the watch. The size is perfect. The screen/resolution is crystal clear. The selection of bands is great (though changing bands is a bit challenging). The fabric band that comes with the Special Edition version is great. Classes it up a fit. Have also ordered a sport band to wear while playing soccer, swimming, etc. The device includes nearly all desired features needed for a fitness/smart watch. It does not have built-in GPS but rather uses connected GPS. Some may see this as a deal breaker; others will recognize the battery savings that this affords. And so far, the watch performance has been excellent. There are some reviews that describe Versa failure after getting it wet. I have successfully showered with the watch with no problem. I have not yet had a chance to try it in the pool. Based on the specs it should be fine, but time will tell. The Versa is not recommended to be worn in hot tubs. As Fitbit has long been a leader in activity tracking, I won’t spend time on those features. Compared to the Samsung watch that I’ve worn … step counting, heart rate info, calories and sleep tracking all seem to be in line with my historical measurements. A big benefit is that the Fitbit app is much more robust then the Samsung health app with significantly more data to analyze. The watch software and the battery consumption on both watch and linked phone need some attention. I’m still trying to determine the optimal settings to achieve a balance of desired performance versus battery life. With current settings, I can average about 3 days before needing to charge give or take a half day depending on usage. I’m currently using the always on display which is nice. It does consume some battery, but so far has not been too heavy of a drain to make the feature unusable. If you choose to use the music app to control music playing on the phone, then expect a massive battery hit. This functionality requires linking an additional bluetooth connection called Fitbit classic. It’s my experience that this connection continuously drains the battery on both the watch and the phone -- as much as 20% while sleeping. That is with the watch in sleep mode and the phone on do not disturb. I have removed this connection and will control music the old-fashioned way. Note that this applies ONLY to playing music on the phone and not to connecting to bluetooth earphones. Another setting offered in the Fitbit app is “All-Day Sync.” This feature constantly updates the data -- activity, heart rate, etc. -- from the watch to the phone. Sounds good, but it also is a battery hog and I have it disabled. As far as I know, syncing can be done one of two ways -- either via the all-day setting or manually when you open the app. I’m currently choosing to update manually. The developers need to add an option so the devices can be set to sync on a user-defined interval -- hourly, every six hours, daily, etc. A setting like this exists for nearly every other phone app that requires data to be synced. Weather apps are the first that come to mind. I am a Samsung user -- Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Buds (wireless earphones). I can tell you that the Galaxy Buds will not work with the Versa 2 watch (as of 11/26/2019). The Buds will link, but they will not play audio. Something to do with different types of bluetooth used in the devices. The issue is discussed in several online forums, but no word from Fitbit or Samsung if it will ever be addressed or fixed. The watch does pair to the S10 without issue and works perfectly well. All notifications are received timely and the bluetooth connection is much better/stronger than with my previous Samsung watch. It easily stays connected at 30-40 feet. There are a couple of issues that need to be addressed related to phone notifications on the watch. First, Gmail is the only client that is available as the "default" mail application. Or, at least it is in my Fitbit app. I can select to be notified by other email apps from my phone, but Gmail is the only app that can be set to receive "special" notification treatment according to the Fitbit app. Secondly, alarms on the phone (and I use quite a few) are NOT available to notify on the Versa. This feature would be a big plus to me. You can set 8 alarms on the Versa. However, each alarm uses some battery, and I would simply be duplicating alarms on multiple devices. For example, I would not remove an alarm from my phone as I may need it while the watch is charging or not being worn. To correct other reviews that I've seen, music CAN be uploaded and stored on the watch. The process requires using the desktop app and is a bit slow, but it works. IF I had wireless headphones that connected properly, then I could play music direct from the Versa without the phone. One other small issue is that weather info does not exist on the clock face by default. Third party clock faces can be installed, but I’ve found that they often require a separate setting for weather updates, which then only work if the All-Day Sync option is enabled. I’m continuing to search for alternatives to see what options exist. There are quite a few apps available for download and use on the watch. I haven't found any to be all that relevant or helpful to me. At least not yet. But the platform and functionality are there to use if desired. Also, I need to mention that the Alexa integration is great. We have a heavy investment in Echo devices in our household, so to have the same functionality on my wrist is a great bonus. If, like me, you are apple averse, then this is one of the best smart watches available that I have found. And very affordable. At this point, I would rate it 8 out of 10. And I would certainly increase that rating with continued additions to and improvement in the software, connectivity and watch features. **UPDATE 12/9/2019** Fitbit released a firmware update a few days ago which added some great features. The Versa now saves your 5 most recently used clock faces and you can change them on the fly without having to go to the app. Though there are tons of clock faces to choose from, one of the drawbacks with Fitbit is that you cannot flag, save or otherwise have access to your favorite faces. You have to keep a manual list of the names or just remember so that you can find them again. There needs to be a way to store a list of favorite faces and apps so that you can access and install them quickly. Other updates include that you can now customize the action of the side button, the sleep score is displayed on the watch, the list of exercises to choose from has expanded, and by reports the heart rate data has been improved. So I've learned that one of the tricks to manage battery life and connectivity is to restart the watch after making certain changes, such as switching to a new clock face. You may notice that the Versa stops sending notifications or is not syncing to the app. I've found that after a quick restart, the watch works perfectly again. Maybe it's a software glitch, but at least there is an easy workaround. And if you leave the watch alone, then these issues should not occur. For full functionality of the watch, including some features of many clock faces, I have re-enabled the All-Day Sync setting. The watch and app perform much better with the setting enabled. And unless I receive a ton of notifications or am constantly playing with the settings, I am now getting 4 to 5 days of battery life which is great. This could also very well have something to do with the recent software update. I am not currently using the always on display. I estimate that AOD cuts the battery life by 30 to 50 percent. Also, before you make a decision with the help of reading these spectacular reviews, you might gauge the quality of the reviews. This watch is by no means perfect and may not be the best choice for you, but you should decide that for yourself. Then return it if you're not satisfied. This is an electronic device and there can be duds. Some buyers have expressed frustration after receiving a device that was dead on arrival. Completely understandable. But there are many 1-star reviews that are not from a literate source. A two word review that reads "hate it" is not helpful. One review reads only "no fitbit pay" which is completely untrue. The Versa absolutely has Fitbit Pay. Also, I'm intrigued that apple phone users don't just pair their phone with an apple watch. Not sure why they are shocked that the Versa does not work as seamlessly for them as a product designed by their phone maker. Bottom line ... be your own judge. As referenced in my original review, I have updated my rating of the Versa 2 to a 9 out of 10, based on performance and recent software updates. Hopefully my positive experience will continue.

I've had various Fitbit products over the years, and have really liked them, and Fitbit customer service has been great to me. This is an upgrade from my Charge 2. The other watch I considered was the Apple 4 (or now 5), but it's twice the price at $399. The Apple had a EKG (really ECG) that I liked, but was not sure it would be too helpful for me. And the Fitbit has sleep tracking a feature that the Apple Watch does not come with. And the battery life on the Fitbit Versa 2 is a lot better with 4-5 days vs. Apple's less than one day (18 hours). The screen is beautiful, a HUGE upgrade. Lots of clock choices. There is an always on screen, but I chose to keep it off for now, it uses more power, and it's a very basic black and white, simple screen. And not sure I always want the screen on, there are times like in a theater or in a dark room where it would be distracting. A big plus is you can turn auto screen off at night, so it does not come one when you move in your sleep. A very useful feature, that should save some battery life too. I needed to call customer service as I was having problems getting it added on my Fitbit app. Since the watch is brand new (released September 15), it needs the latest Fitbit app for it to work. After that was fixed, there was a bluetooth issue, but after turning it off and on, we were in business. A wonderful upgrade for me. EDIT: I want to add, the watch bands are so much better than previous one's I've used on Fitbit watches. I'm guessing they are no different than those on the previous Versa, but they are so much easier to use than those on the Charge 2. (and I think they will last longer, I had problems with my Charge 2 bands breaking.)

I LOVE THIS DEVICE! This is my 3rd Versa 2. First one that gives me email updates, Facebook messages, and calls. 116 bucks and change. Cheaper than the other 2 I've purchased in the past. The battery life is surprisingly excellent, especially with the greater level of bells and whistles. My #1 find of 2025.

I use this in my every day life now that I own it, it helps me manage my phone calls and texts really well. As for the fitness aspect of it, it's decent, but lacking in a lot of aspects as well. The step tracking is nearly completely inaccurate: turning in my sleep after midnight counts steps for the next day, I can wake up with up to 200 steps already taken, and trust me, that's not sleepwalking. Not only that, but when I go through a particularly intense car ride (my coworker... loves to hit well over the speed limit sometimes. And in alaska, you get ice heaves in the road, which can make for a VERY bumpy ride.) I end up with my daily stairs count going up. The sleep tracking could be better, it's based on heart rate so you have to really go under for it to start tracking, which might mean a few minutes of sleep are shaved off as you get to homeostasis. The battery is exactly as advertised so far, it lasts about 3-4 days before I recharge it, and could probably go at least a little bit longer than that depending on use. My main complaint is Alexa: she's totally useless trapped in this tiny little watch. "Set a timer for 10 minutes" "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave" "Why not" "Please stop screaming at me" the conversations go on, but nothing ever gets done with Alexa, she's just kind of *there* for when you want to force it to shut off by pressing the button for a long time. TL;DR Good for recording a basic outline of how active you really are in your day, exercise and sleep tracking are decent but wonky and more inaccurate as you go on, and Alexa is useless go get an echo or something if you want a useful Alexa device.

I've switched over from the Galaxy Watch to the Versa 2. I've been using it for a few days and I'm certain that this is the best "dumb" smartwatch on the market right now. What do I mean by "dumb"? I mean if you want your watch to show you notifications, track health and run a few basic apps (like Strava, Uber and Spotify in my case) then this is absolutely superb watch for you. The watch looks beautiful. It's not oversized, and the smoke grey coloured version which I have looks amazing to my eye. You can mix & match any Versa compatible band with this phone. There are more apps available on the Fitbit app store but the variety pales in comparison to the Google UI/Samsung Wearable/Apple Watch app stores. The apps I mainly use are Uber and Spotify. Both need to work through your phone, and can't work without your phone. There is no GPS inbuilt in the watch so when you call for an Uber or go for a run on Strava, you need your phone's GPS connection for the apps to work. Spotify plays music through your phone, but it can be controlled via your phone. Alexa integration on the phone is quite nice - however since there's no mic on the phone you have to read the responses. There are quite a few watch faces available too (several thousasnd), and I'm sure that's only going to increase with time. One thing to note is that you can't have multiple watch faces loaded on your phone and instantly switch between them on the go. Your Versa will save only 1 face at a time and every time you want to change it, it'll need to be done through the Fitbit app on your phone. All notifications come on your phone - WhatsApp/Telegram/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram etc and on the messaging apps you can even reply back to the notification via your phone/Alexa. Of course, you can see who's calling you and answer/decline it. Coming to the main reason most people buy Fitbits - the health aspect. It is unparalleled when compared to the Galaxy Watch. Fitbit's interface for health, constant heartrate tracking, step count are far far better than Samsung's. The Fitbit App on your phone is also far more intuitive and easier to use than the eyesore that is the Samsung Wearable android app. Also there are a whole host of health apps for this watch which I haven't even checked out yet - Fitbit Coach, Gold's Gym AMP and many others. The battery life - 7 to 8 days with constant connection to the phone, all day sync and about an hour's worth of exercise everyday. Do I need to say more? Nothing else on the market even comes close. Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a smartwatch with a focus on health tracking, view (and reply to some) notifications and some basic access to a few apps like Strava/Uber/Spotify, this is a fantastic watch to get. You can't go wrong. Battery life is phenomenal, and the Fitbit app is easier, much easier to use than the Samsungs. There are some limitations to the watch, when it comes to apps available, GPS connecitivity only via the phone and watch face selection. However, personally, even with my Galaxy Watch I found myself not using all the apps (seriously, why would I ever want to watch Youtube on my watch?). 9.5 out of 10 for me.
JemandReviewed in Germany on September 18, 2019
Ich habe mir die Uhr aus den folgenden Gründen gekauft: 1.) Alexa 2.) Notifications 3.) Lange Akkulaufzeit 4.) Kontaktloses bezahlen 5.) Gutes Display Ich nutze keinerlei der Sportfunktionen der Uhr, darum kann ich dazu nichts sagen. Ich habe sogar die Herzmess-Funktion deaktiviert, damit der Akku länger hält. ### Nun schreibe ich mal zu den für mich wichtigen Punkten: 1.) Alexa Ich habe sehr viele SmartHome-Geräte bei mir Zuhause eingebunden und steuere diese (auch) mit Alexa. Da war es praktisch, als diese Uhr angekündigt wurde. So kann ich z.B. die Garage mit der Uhr öffnen, ohne dass ich meine Fernbedienung für die Garage rausholen muss. Oder ich steuere damit das Licht im Haus. Da die Uhr nur ein Mikrofon aber keinen Lautsprecher hat, kann sie nur per Text antworten. Das ist aber soweit okay, da ich sowieso nicht wollen würde, dass die Uhr mir was erzählt. Man kann damit also z.B. Einkaufslisten befüllen und sich per Text dann anzeigen lassen, was auf der Liste steht. Man kann neben der Steuerung von SmartHome-Geräten auch andere Echos steuern ("Spiele 80er Musik auf Esszimmer") etc. Durchsagen oder sowas kann man mit der Uhr nicht tätigen, auch wenn man dafür theoretisch keinen Lautsprecher in der Uhr benötigen würde. Soweit versteht die Uhr einen ganz gut - man muss jedoch recht nah mit dem Mund ans seitliche Mikrofon. Aber das passt. Anzumerken sei noch, dass ich die Uhr am ersten Tag der Veröffentlichung schon hatte und die Alexa-Integration so war, dass man in den USA-Account von Alexa eingeloggt wurde. Dadurch konnte man nicht auf seine Listen oder Smarthome-Geräte zugreifen. Nach einer längeren Odyssee mit dem Support kam dann einen Tag später ein Update der App, die dieses Problem nun gefixt hat. Top für die schnelle Reaktionszeit von Fitbit. ### 2.) Notifications: Ich finde es sehr praktisch, dass man die Notifications von Handyapps auf die Uhr bekommt. Man kann die Standardfunktionen anklicken, wie z.B. Mail archivieren oder Nachricht als gelesen markieren. Man kann sogar antworten und das auch mit Sprache, das habe ich aber noch nicht getestet und benötige ich auch eher weniger. Die Uhr zeigt die Notifications gut an, so dass man erst über den halben Bildschirm ein wenig Text sieht und dann mit einem Wisch auf der Uhr mehr erkennen und reagieren kann. Leider ist die Vibration der Uhr relativ kurz - ich finde es aber gerade so okay - man bekommt die Notifications eigentlich mit. ### 3.) Akkulaufzeit: Ich hatte vorher eine Amazfit BIP und diese hielt mit dauerhaft aktiviertem Display mehr als einen Monat den Akku. Darum kam für mich keine Smartwatch in Frage, die ich jeden Abend laden muss. Die Versa 2 habe ich noch nicht lange genug, um ein Fazit zur Akkulaufzeit zu ziehen aber ich denke, dass man die 4 Tage damit schafft. Ich habe das Always-On-Display aus. Das heißt, ich sehe die Uhrzeit nur, wenn ich den Knopf der Uhr drücke oder die Uhr "bewege". Also den Arm hebe und drauf schaue. Im Gegensatz zur Amazfit BIP ist die Akkulaufzeit schlecht, im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Uhren aber top! Ich bin zufrieden. ### 4.) Kontaktloses Bezahlen: Ich nutze überall Kartenzahlung und zahle bisher zu 99% mit Google Pay und meinem Handy. Die Uhr sollte das ersetzen und ich muss sagen, da erfüllt die Uhr auch komplett meine Erwartung. Ich hatte bereits ein kostenloses Kreditkarten-Konto bei Revolut und lade dort automatisch immer Geld von meiner Amazon-Kreditkarte auf, sobald der Kontostand unter 50 Euro fällt. Somit habe ich immer Geld auf meiner "Uhr" und sammel so Amazon-Punkte beim Bezahlen, da die Amazon-Kreditkarte ja die Quelle der Zahlung im Hintergrund ist. Es ist wirklich extrem praktisch, dass ich nur den linken Knopf der Uhr gedrückt halten muss und dann die Uhr schon im Zahlungsmodus ist. Alle 24 Stunden bzw. wenn man die Uhr abnimmt, muss man die Pin neu eingeben. Das finde ich gut. Für die Zahlung selber verwendet die Uhr CDCVM - das bedeutet, man muss die Zahlung nicht nochmal per Pin bestätigen. Das klappt hervorragend und schnell und die NFC-Reichweite der Uhr ist wirklich sehr gut - man braucht die Uhr nicht aufs Display des Terminals legen, sondern darüber halten reicht schon. Hier bin ich wirklich vollstens zufrieden! ### 5.) Gutes Display: Das Display ist hell (ich nutze Stufe 2/3) und man kann auch in Sonnenlicht alles erkennen. Die Ränder ums Display sind schon groß aber wirken nicht so. Ich bin damit sehr zufrieden. Fazit: Ich bin froh, die Uhr zu haben und freue mich, dass ich beim Bezahlen an der Kasse das Handy bzw. das Portmonee nicht mehr rausholen muss, sondern dies nun mit meiner Uhr tätigen kann. Außerdem ist es praktisch, Alexa am Handgelenk zu haben und Apps und Watchfaces aus dem Fitbit-Store laden zu können. Der Preis ist auch okay, da man eine leichte Uhr mit langer Laufzeit bekommt. Für meine recht schmalen Handgelenke ist die Uhr perfekt. Ich kann die Uhr empfehlen und sie erfüllt genau die Erwartungen, die ich im Vorfeld hatte! Darum 5 Sterne! Wie gesagt - Sportfunktionen oder Schlaftracking nutze ich gar nicht, darum kann ich diese nicht beurteilen.
