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: 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
Fitbit Versa 2 review: Just a touch short of greatness
For me, the Fitbit Versa is frustratingly close to being amazing but I couldn't make it my main watch without a GPS chip. It's a shame the company doesn't make a Versa 2 Pro with GPS built in, because it's far nicer to look at and use than the Fitbit Ionic.- Looks fantastic
- Balanced set of features
- The Fitbit app is great
- No built-in GPS
- No offline Spotify playback
Fitbit Versa 2 review
The Fitbit Versa 2 covers all the aspects of a health and fitness watch, measuring steps, heart rate, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, active minutes, hourly activity, and sleep.

- Bright and clear new AMOLED display
- Lightweight and comfortable for 24/7 wear
- Detailed sleep and heart rate data
- No support for offline Spotify music
- No integration with Apple Health or Google Fit

Fitbit's first smartwatch may have been the Ionic , but the company is throwing all of its resources behind the Versa . While the Ionic targeted serious athletes, the original Versa was more accessible in design, features, and price.- Solid

- Faster performance
- New AMOLED display with always-on mode
- Convenient quick-access menu for toggle settings
- Fitbit Pay
- and more
- NFC for Fitbit Pay is now a standard feature
- New voice replies for Android users
- Good battery life
- Cannot download Spotify playlists
- No completely hands-free way to summon Alexa
- Still no use of the SpO2 sensor
- Switching watch faces is a painfully slow and convoluted process
- No integration with Apple Health or Google Fit
Fitbit Versa 2 Bordeaux/Copper Rose FB507RGRW review
- Adds Alexa and Spotify
- Got a week on a single charge in testing.
- I'm not sure we really needed this watch so soon
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
Fitbit Versa 2
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
