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.

- 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 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
