Bought this for myself, it works well and is comfortable to wear.
Love this watch . Gives you goals and reminders and much more . Particularly like the function that finds your phone .
Great watch it has got me more motivated to achieve goals. That was the purpose . Looks stylish . Free app for 6 months with purchase.
Recommend.
Uploads to the app much better than the charge 3.
I can see the screen on daylight unlike the charge 3.
Tracks exercise and sleep pretty well.
Says it is waterproof to 5 metres… I forgot to take it off when I went scuba diving… for 44 minutes… down to 24 metres. .. couldn’t believe it when it still worked just fine!
I bought this during lockdown of 2021 as I wanted to keep active and wanted to measure my activity. This is incredible and so much cheaper on here than the Fitbit website. Tracks your sleep, heartbeat, workout, daily tracking etc. it’s incredible and would always recommend to anyone wanting to keep track of their health
Brought as a present for my 80 year old mother to use when she swims, she’s very happy with it. Encourages her to stay active and screen is large enough for her to read easily.
Very reliable I am pleased excellent value for money I particularly like the alerts from my iphone
Really enjoying this Fitbit , it is great for tracking my steps and sleep score
A present to a 12 year old girl. She was pleased when she received it on Christmas Day. Since then I have heard nothing.
I brought this for my 10 year daughter as I have one which I brought a few years ago, I’ve found it to be totally reliable and never had problems with it. There are a few differences (the buttons on the side and a few other features) but this is a great watch/fitness tracker. Only disappointing thing is that it was reduced a few weeks after a brought it.
Bought this as a present for wife. She loves it. Attractive, good value and good functionality. ( The watch too )
Battery is really good, and has a lot of apps on the watch that you can use to track your fitness. As well as had Spotify which is useful. App is easy to use.
Got a new Fitbit just to track my steps, this is so much more than that. I got it when Amazon had their prime review say at a really great price. Would recommend
The only things I do not like are I cannot get it to receive messages and although I can answer a call I can’t talk to the person on the other end until I get to my phone
But shortly after warranty ended, the background of the screen went blue. Reset to factory settings, changing clock face or draining the battery completely has not solved the problem. Bit disappointed with this, hesitant to buy new Fitbit.
Update 6july 2022.
Fitbit sent me a refurbished Fitbit versa 2 as it was just passed the 2 year guarantee. The refurb is working like new. So very happy with the Fitbit customer service.
I wouldn’t swim in the sea though with this not so ‘waterproof’ watch.
June 2022 – Nice watch with NFC capability to pay bills with your phone in a shop. Tracks your sleep and steps and you can review on the Fitbit app on your phone.
Unfortunately the touch screen stopped working just after the 2 year warranty ran out. This makes the smart watch aspects redundant, so now wearing an expensive 1980s digital watch.
Decided to re-purchase a Fitbit after trading in my Alta HR for a Galaxy Active a couple of years ago and I’m so glad I did. I was on the fence about which model to buy – splurge on the Versa 3 or save a little and get the Versa 2. I bought this as I decided I wasn’t bothered about the built in GPS and I wasn’t fond of the haptic button idea that they have introduced to the newer models now . If you’re the same as me, I would save and just stick to the Versa 2.
Pros – sleep feature is amazing and accurate, watch is very responsive to wake movements, Alexa works well when in a good range to your phone and with a WiFi connection (I know some reviewers say they have had issues with this but mine has been completely fine!).
Cons – the ‘active zone minutes’ that fitbit have introduced. Not really sure how these work and they’re a bit on-and-off. There are also a few features that aren’t available as you are required to purchase Fitbit’s ‘premium’ membership, however this doesn’t affect me as I don’t think the information that is held back is that important or insightful, or much more than what you get for free.
I purchased the Bordeaux colour, and I would say that it is more of a purple colour than it displays in the photo but still a lovely colour.
Love this watch and I’m so glad I converted back to Fitbit!
Really like my watch it was a Christmas present and have been using it since Christmas . Okay some people were annoyed with the premium option , however most companies are doing this now , yea 10 pound is alot however if you pay a early fee it’s only 40 pound for the year ! And to be honest the watch still does loads ! I brought the premium as you get videos for work out and plans to follow on the app which I like and keeps me motivated and extra sleeping information that interests me . However you don’t need the premium to enjoy this watch !
Apps area good however it’s new tech so don’t exspect loads …we need to remember it’s still just a watch ! It can’t do everything our phones can do and shouldn’t be expected to, for the price .
I love my water reminders on my phone it really does help in a busy day.
Email notifications are super as I’m a teacher so this is brilliant and to be honest I love all notifications !
I also find the breathing excellent where it helps you breath with the vibrating of the watch for two minutes , I thought this was brilliant and is great for those days were you only have a few minutes to regain focuse!
You can also pay with the watch , I haven’t tried this yet and really didn’t like the thought of this , just encase somebody stole my watch … However there are a few functions on locking your watch. I have it on a function when I take it off it will lock my watch which is brilliant and will probably use the pay app now.
The battery is good , ofcourse if you use more apps and notifications it will need charging faster however I normally get about 3 days which is good and only needs charging for 2 hours , it says don’t leave it over night as your battery will drain , not bad considering how much I use it ….
Deffaintly get one if you want a smart watch and don’t exspect a phone !
If you want reminders to keep you on track.
If your curious about sleep patterns and breathing and learning about your body .
If you want to have a push on being healthy and get into a routine .
Don’t get it if you want to send textes, emails lots of apps or want a week’s battery , be aware you can get more with a monthly payment , if your not okay with this then don’t get it !
I do hope this helps , however my husband has my old Fitbit , he really wants one like mine now and is shocked how I ever used the old addition haha !
Works well, I love the fact that you can change the watch faces – I have mine set to Bitmoji and some of them are very comical; from lounging in a reclining chair with a remote or leaning against the wall with a cuppa to racing about with steam coming from my emoticon or laying in bed with a sleepy bubble!
I’ve had a Fitbit for years, starting with a flex, then onto an Alta HR, I tried a charge 3 but found it too chunky and now this one, the Versa 2.
The results of my sleep patterns and step count have been of a similar nature to my previous Fitbits and the burgundy strap is lovely.
I bought this on an Amazon deal day so saved a considerable amount to retail price, but would probably pay the extra for version three if the prices were more comparable as I’ve found that I keep these for a couple of years before upgrading.
BUT. The battery life is poor! My Alta HR would last approximately a week to 10 days, before recharging, whereas this seems to need a charge every few days. It does charge quickly with the supplied charger though, just a bit disappointing for the battery life – I understand version 3 has a better longevity between charging.
O
The main difference with the Versa 3 is that it has built in GPS, google assist, a built in speaker and a faster charging option… all things I could easily live without when the Versa 2 was only priced 129.99 (during a Black Friday sale) while the Versa 3 was 199.99.
The Versa 2 may not have GPS built in but if you have your phone on you (which I always do) it uses the GPS from that anyway so having it built in isn’t necessary.
There may not be any google assistant but Alexa is built in, and as someone with an echo in every room already this is a much more practical voice assistant for me anyway.
The Versa 2 still records all the same fitness stats (24/7 heart rate, daily steps, all your workouts, calories burned, water intake, food intake, menstrual cycles etc) and the mobile app is the same for both watches. I’ve found all the data it’s recorded to be accurate and both the app and the watch itself presents the data in an easy to follow way and it’s quite simple to access it all.
It also tracks your sleep automatically and though you need to pay for Fitbit premium for some data (more detailed heart rate and how often you move in your sleep) all the main important information is recorded accurately and is easily viewed.
One of my concerns before getting the watch was not liking the way the clock was set out. I’m not a fan of the hours being piled above the minuets. Thankfully there’s are loads of free (and even more that you can pay for) clock faces to choose from and personalise. You can add your own pictures from your camera roll, change colour schemes or pick a clock face that needs no adjustments but suits you fine (some of the ones I like are pictured here).
The smart watch part of the Versa is also great. I get all my phone notifications pop up on my watch (but you do need to go on the Fitbit app and under settings on your watch allow other apps access to it so their notifications come through). When out running I can see if I’m getting any texts at a quick glance which is great.
I can also control my music on my watch. I use amazon music as my main streaming device, which fitbit doesn’t support as such (not in the same way it does Spotify), but if I start it playing on my phone I can then skip though the songs plus play and pause them using the watch, which to be honest is all I need.
I’m also extremely happy with the overall look of the watch. I love the colour of both the strap and the edge of the screen.
The strap also has lots of size options (and even came with a second larger strap incase that’s needed).
My one gripe with the whole thing is the charging dock, which firstly didn’t come with a plug, just a usb, but secondly it just feels clumsy. It doesn’t really stand up straight and from googling I’ve been able to see that it works best on its side, but still falls over and doesn’t really feel like it’s the best design. Saying that it does the job and charges the watch quickly (and the charge last AGES!!).
Overall I’m extremely pleased with this watch and would recommend it above the Versa 3 if you’re looking to save a little money and you’re happy to have your phone on you all the time for the GPS.
EDIT- My husband also got a Versa 2 this week and we have since found that controlling your music works better on my iPhone and is complicated and not worth the hassle on his Android phone. He also has the option to reply to text message on his watch while I can’t do that with my iPhone.
I had an Apple watch before this which was great but nightly charging and a limited app were not ideal. This will last about a week on a charge and the app is genuinely motivating. It’s become a bit more like the old Jawbone app which I loved but unfortunately fizzled out a fair few years ago. I got this for a good discount and am really pleased with it, it’s not as slick as my old apple watch but if you mainly want fitness tracking I don’t think you could do much better than a fitbit (I’ve tried quite a few) and the versa 2 is ideal with just a little bit of smart watch functionality with the main focus on tracking and fitness.
It knows when I’m exercising and starts a workout and counts long walks as exercise towards my weekly goals. All targets can be edited and the weekly roundup gives you an overview of the activity etc you’ve done, including how it measures up against last week. I am finding this particularly useful as i can also see how my fitness bevel is affected when I’m more or less active. A soap in the face when I’ve had a lazy week but a useful one.
The premium features may or may not be something I want to keep but with the three months free at the moment it gives you a worthwhile time to try it.
I’ve not had any of the faff I’ve had with some of the other trackers I’ve tried, one of which was a recent Garmin hybrid watch which was a horrible disappointment and much more expensive.
Recommended.
Lovely design and exactly what I expected.
I bought an Apple Watch which I wasn’t too impressed with – I compared it to
My previous charge 3 and for the money wasn’t overly satisfied so sold it.
The Apple Watch didn’t analyse sleep (without an app which was rubbish anyway) and period tracking wasn’t the best either. You could speak through it via a voice call which sometimes lagged and reply to texts/WhatsApp /messenger which I really liked.
This Versa doesn’t allow responding to WhatsApp /messenger – only view or I can’t talk through it – but can answer then pick up my phone. Notifications are good (iPhone) and haven’t experienced any delay.
The layout is lovely and much easier to use. I like that I can pay with one click (I’m with Santander) and that my bitmoji links to it.
I wish that I could say ‘Alexa’ like I said ‘hey Siri’ with Apple Watch and then ask a question but you can have her as your side button option (I have iPay) and I’ve moved her to my first screen so I can’t really complain.
I’m experiencing problems with regards to exercising. Although I log it on my watch, I need to open the app and sync before I can exercise as it won’t pick up GPS and half my route is missing!! That’s annoying but hopefully will resolve in an update. The stats seem pretty accurate and I much prefer this to the Apple Watch.
Overall, bargain for money and for what I want out of a smart watch – pay, fitness, sleep, periods – it has.
I’m very happy and love the purple colour.
You don’t get a manual included, which can be daunting when setting it up, but Excellent advice on the videos, which are part of the information you access when buying it from Amazon.
You have to be quite tech savvy to find out how to start using it, i.e. accessing your settings, watch faces, fitness data, but just try using it like your mobile and start by pressing the button on the side, then slide screen across to access, things like settings, fitness data, clock faces (which only show up, when you have downloaded some of them from the app). Just swipe up, down, across to see other features.
The app is excellent to use. Pair your watch to your mobile and you are away. You can also buy ‘blingy’ straps and change the look!
My Blaze, was nearly three years old when it really wasn’t holding a charge. I have a heart condition and use it to track my heart 24 /7, and it is pretty darn good!
This is unlike the Blaze. This is like the limo of FitBits. Very impressed. If you have trouble with apps and setting tech up – this might not be the easiest to handle.
I am playing with it, trying this and that – and because I am, battery life is short. BUT, once I stop playing with all the apps(just checking to see what they are like) – and set it up, I am sure the battery will last quite well.
I like being able to uninstall some of the apps that came on it, and the ability to try an app and uninstall if it isn’t what I want.
I think that future FitBits will be really amazing – if this unit is anything to go by. Love it. Love the ability to change clocks, to add or remove apps, and to be able to have a variety of straps to use with it.
Give it a chance, take it slow – and then you will see the magic!
** The strap which came with the Versa 2, was a tad stiff. So, I decided to soak it to see if it would soften up, BUT in the mean time, I tried my leather strap from my Blaze, and surprise – all of my Blaze straps fit the Versa 2!
Shipping was perfect, and there was no damage either on the box or the product. The watch has a lot of features such as:
– Sleep Tracking
– Excercise summary
– Alexa (Useful to find certain information on the go)
– Spotify Control
The watch is comfortable to wear on your wrist, it becomes unnoticeable to your everyday life, in my experience when exercising, the watch doesn’t get in the way of my workout and the same is said for when you sleep, as the strap is made of comfortable material and has multiple adjustments holes, fit for any size arms/wrist.
This watch will last you for 4 days without needing a recharge, that is if you keep the watch in low usages, such as not having an always-on display or if you are not using an app, such as Spotify, which will run in the background if you decide to use it as a remote control for your music; Otherwise, the battery will last for 2 days or so, and would only need a 2-hour charge, which I recommend doing when going for a shower or not doing an intensive workout or activity.
On topic with the shower, the watch is waterproof and I have gone swimming with it and I have not received any problem, even tracked my swim.
The display is bright and has nice vibrant colors, the screen feels nice on both the fingers and to the eye. I have also clumsily dropped it numerous times and not a single scratch on it. The menu and the main watch screen can
be widely customized, as you can find lots of different themes, fit to your style, on the AppStore, made exclusively for Fitbit.
All the tracking is on point! Fitbit provides, with lots of useful information, which can help, for your self-improvement and well being.
Unfortunately, even tho this is mostly a great product, there are a few aspects in which that can be improved on, the system on the watch feels sluggish at times, I have encountered multiple time where the watch slows down or froze for a second.
The app on your phone is a bit confusing to figure out at first, where you install new apps and where you see information, and one major problem I have encountered is syncing when I first got the watch, I had to factory reset the watch, as it wasn’t properly syncing up between my phone and the watch, losing those couple of days worth of data.
It could help if the integrated Alexa app, could connect to other Alexa devices such as my Echo Dot, so I could ask anything and answer through my speaker, so I can hear it rather than reading it.
Overall this is an amazing product and I recommend to buy this watch if you need to track exercise or sleep, , the extra features come in handy, but I wouldn’t recommend buying this for those certain features. It’s comfortable and has a nice look to it, a slick design, easy to wear every day, but as I said I would have liked if the watch would have been easier to set up and maybe can be done by giving tip on the phone app and at also as I mentioned before at times it can be slow.
I’m very impressed.
The app sometimes seems to struggle to sync with the watch, occasionally causing problems with passing notifications from the phone to the watch. The app needs a general update and “sort out” overall in my opinion. The food tracking is brilliant, with a HUGE catalogue of foods available to enter with just a barcode. If we were allowed to enter our own foods with a barcode (for the odd missing item) it would be a lot better still. Samsung’s app and phone connection is 100 times better. Samsung also offer LOTS of free excercise plans and fitness tips, Fitbit have chosen to make these features “Premium” which is the very worst thing about Fitbit in general. This is the only way that Samsung is better than Fitbit.
The watch looks lovely. I really love looking at it and it feels very comfortable 24 hours a day. The finish seems of a very high quality. This one of the reasons I chose this over other Fitbit models.
The watch functions well as a fitness tracker, watch and calendar. The touch screen looks great and feels great to use. This watch motivates me to keep moving all day, helping me get fitter and lose a little weight.
Overall this is the best watch I’ve ever owned and it is an absolute bargain.
Update, 4 months with the watch I have lost 2 stone. Most importantly I have lost a lot of body fat and gained muscle. This was down to tracking the food on the app and keeping below the calories I had burned. I wasn’t fat and haven’t worked hard for this but having everything in one app has helped me realise what I was doing badly!
In the box you get the watch, charger, and some straps. There’s also an instruction pamphlet, but it’s pretty basic. To get started properly you need to download the Fitbit app, after which the app will take you through the installation process. Be warned that there will most likely be a firmware update to go through first, so you need to have the Fitbit on charge.
So the charging cable is a custom USB cable purely for the Fitbit. An industry standard cable would have been better – just one less cable to manage.
The watch is easy to use. I suggest buying a custom clock face (you can do this via the app. The custom clock faces provide a lot more info). There’s a lot of customisation you can do. I have the display set to off, and the watch will switch on the display if you make the action with your wrist to look at the watch (not 100% perfect though).
Battery life looks to be very good. I’ve used the watch extensively for a 24 hour period so far, and the battery is at 84%.
Edit: the battery life is awesome. I charge it once a week, even then I reckon I could get a couple more days out of the existing charge.
The biggest negative for me is that the watch can sense when your exercising and start to log the activity. Only problem is that is works for some exercise types only e.g. it didn’t work for when I did weight training. You do have the option to manually add the activity, or start it via the watch, but given the price of this watch it should log automatically.
The other issue I found is with the app. Some clock faces require an activation code. This can only be done via clock face settings in the app, which isn’t yet supported for the Versa 2. Edit: this is now fixed.
Another issue I found with the app is that it doesn’t log a walk properly when using GPS. I stress this is an issue with the app and not watch. What happens is the app starts to log, and then at some random point stops logging using GPS, but still provides the correct statistics, only that according to the GPS part of the stats the walk ended long before it did.
I’ll update this review as I delve more into the features of this watch.
Edit: The watch records your sleeping heart rate, but Fitbit charge a premium for you to see YOUR data. Not impressed. That’s one star knocked off
