Fitbit Versa 2
Fitbit Versa 2 is the second generation of Fitbits popular Versa smartwatch series. It includes several improvements compared to the original Fitbit Versa model. First of all, it features an always-on display. Hence, there's no need to press a button or moving the wrist to turn on the screen. This obviously affects battery life, which has decreased from five days to four days. Secondly, Versa 2 has Amazon's digital assistant Alexa built-in. The user simply asks Alexa to perform certain tasks, and responses can be viewed on the screen. Please note that this smartwatch lacks a speaker, so oral responses aren't possible.
A newer model Fitbit Versa 3 was released in August 2020.

You won't desperately need to upgrade your existing smartwatch to the Fitbit Versa 2, but there are lots of smaller improvements here that suggest it will be a top smartwatch for a lower price than a lot of the competition.- Fitbit Pay as standard
- Amazon Alexa should prove useful
- Only Connected GPS
- Still has a thick bezel

Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
The Versa didn’t single-handedly save Fitbit, but it gave the struggling wearable company a way forward. The smartwatch demonstrated the potential for life beyond the fitness tracker.
Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
On paper, the Fitbit Versa 2 is a compelling upgrade over its predecessor. It features a bigger, better display, useful Alexa integration and refined software. It still lasts days longer than Samsung and Wear OS watches and looks pretty, to boot.- Attractive and comfortable design
- Alexa integration feels useful
- Accurate sleep-tracking
- Long-lasting battery without Always On Display
- Finicky connectivity
- Unintuitive OS

The Apple Watch Series 4 is still a more powerful wearable with a much wider variety of faces and apps, but it also costs twice as much as the Versa 2 and requires an iOS device to work.- Attractive AMOLED screen with always-on option
- Long battery life
- Lots of useful apps and fitness features
- Fitbit Pay
- Amazon Alexa
- Screen isn't quite as bright as the original model
- Alexa responses are text only
Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
Alexa is the star of the show here, but it’s the small improvements in the design and software that really make the Versa 2 feel like a leap ahead. There are bugs that need fixing, particularly with Alexa, and some people will simply want something more stylish.- Rounder
- curved design
- Alexa’s handy (when it works)
- Fitbit Pay on all models
