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.

Fitbit Versa 2 review
With the Versa 2, Fitbit proves that less is more. The fitness brand has taken everything that made the original a compelling budget smartwatch, improves on those features, adds a somewhat fiddly voice assistant, and spits out a near-perfect fitness tracker that comes with some smartwatch perks. It’s one of the best fitness watches from Fitbit but the lack of a GPS chip means you’ll need to carry your phone wherever you go.
Pros:
- Improved lightweight design
- Always-on display option
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Lacks GPS
- No offline Spotify playback
- No integration with Apple Health or Google Fit

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.
Pros:
- Attractive and comfortable design
- Alexa integration feels useful
- Accurate sleep-tracking
- Long-lasting battery without Always On Display
Cons:
- Finicky connectivity
- Unintuitive OS

Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
The Fitbit Versa 2 is a solid smartwatch-come-fitness tracker that will meet most casual or newbie gym goers' needs. However, the lack of an in-built GPS and a lacking developer app store will stop it appealing to serious athletes and dedicated smartwatch users.
Pros:
- Decent battery life
- Good screen for the price
- Alexa support
Cons:
- No inbuilt GPS
- No local Spotify playback

Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
The Fitbit brand is everywhere. If you wear an Apple Watch today, chances are you wore a Fitbit before it. And even if you've never worn a Fitbit you probably know what it is, having seen it on dozens or hundreds of other wrists.

Fitbit Versa 2 review: smart fitness tracker, dumb smartwatch
Fitbit's name has been synonymous with fitness trackers since its inception. But for the past few years, the company has also been branching into the smartwatch world to compete with the likes of the Apple Watch and Samsung's wearable lineups.
Pros:
- Comfortable
- lightweight design
- Week-long battery life
- Screen is bright and easy to see outdoors
- Great fitness and sleep-tracking features
- Voice replies are handy for Android users
Cons:
- Changing straps is still a huge chore
- despite the quick-release pins
- Always-on display is too simple and not customizable enough
- Alexa integration is clumsy and largely pointless
- Smartwatch productivity features are lacking

Fitbit Versa 2 review: The subscription smartwatch
When the Fitbit Versa debuted, it filled a niche for people who wanted smartphone notifications but championed wellness first. It was a good compromise between the two, but didn’t deliver fully in either regard. The Fitbit Versa 2 is even more like a smartwatch than ever before, with Alexa and Spotify integration as well as an AMOLED screen. However, fitness insights come at a cost with Fitbit Premium, a new subscription service. The paywall for more detailed insights leaves much to be desired for data-hungry athletes, but the Versa 2 is still a strong contender in a crowded space. The Versa 2 looks an awful lot like the Pebble Time grew up to be an Apple Watch, albeit slightly wider and missing Apple’s rotating crown. The chamfered edges of the casing offer some distinction, but I couldn’t stop seeing an Apple Watch knock-off every time I looked at the Versa 2. Build quality is better than any knock-off though. It feels solid, lightweight, and well-crafted. The included silicone band ...
Pros:
- Affordable
- Multi-day battery life
- Native sleep tracking
- On-device music storage
- Intuitive interface
Cons:
- Offers few insights (without paying extra)
- Can’t stream from Spotify
- Looks like an Apple Watch knock-off
- Alexa is largely useless

Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
The Versa 2 is a solid tracker, now with an enhanced screen and Alexa, but there are better options available at its price
Pros:
- The design has been improved compared with the Versa, with a larger AMOLED screen that you can set to be always-on, and the Fitbit logo removed from the front of the watch
- Despite the new screen, the battery life is still good enough that you’ll only have to charge the Versa 2 after two to three...
Cons:
- The screen is not bright enough to see easily when outside, which becomes more of an issue when running or cycling
- Spotify support is limited to controlling playback from the app on your phone – you can’t sync playlists to the Versa 2 to play offline.
