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

- Faster performance
- New AMOLED display with always-on mode
- Convenient quick-access menu for toggle settings

- and more

- No completely hands-free way to summon Alexa

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 review: The best fitness tracker $200 can buy
Fitbit's Versa 2 isn't a huge upgrade from the original - in many ways it's just a modest "sidegrade" - but it still brings nothing but improvements. A year ago I called the original Versa "the best fitness tracker and wearable you can buy right now.- Lightweight
- comfortable design
- AMOLED and always-on-display
- Microphone for Alexa and text replies
- Fitbit Pay included by default
- Outstanding 5+ days of battery life
- Charging cradle is unappealing
- Fitbit apps are subpar
- No built-in GPS
- Always-on display eats battery life

If you were to buy the Versa 2, you should familiarise yourself with its limits. This is a smartwatch that will help you monitor key aspects of your health, including your heart rate, steps, sleep, and activity.- Does what it does really well
- improvement in battery life
- No GPS
- not really for those looking for a running focussed watch
- not really the big improvements people were looking for in the upgrade
