Last year I tested the Fitbit Versa 2 and kept going back to using it because of the 24/7 activity tracking capability. With no integrated GPS, I had to run with another watch to track my running and cycling.

Bright and clear AMOLED display; Lightweight and comfortable for 24/7 wear; Extensive health tracking capability; Various health scores for understanding progress; Integrated GPS

No support for offline Spotify music; Side button takes practice to master

My daughter does plenty of exercise and this watch really helps her track everything

It is very good.

I usually have trouble with electronics however I have been able to navigate my new Fitbit Versa 3. I really enjoy using it.

Fitbit’s new wearables, the Sense and Versa 3, have been official for a week or so now and won’t arrive until the end of September. If you were considering a pre-order for either, be quick, as Amazon already has both discounted in what I can only imagine is a temporary move. The Fitbit Sense...

The Fitbit Versa 3 is a modest upgrade from the Fitbit Versa 2, at least today. Down the road with slated smartphone integration updates like taking calls from the wrist or Google Assistant, it’ll become a more advanced unit.

With integrated GPS and some design tweaks, the Fitbit Versa 3 is an excellent wearable. Like its predecessor, though, it’s more a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, with very limited productivity apps on offer.

Beautiful display; Built-in GPS; Lightweight and comfortable

Poorly designed side button; Requires Fitbit Premium subscription to unlock advanced features; No offline Spotify support

Whilst the Fitbit will track a large number of key parameters for you, it is (understandably) reliant on the user to input metrics such as fluid intake and food. This is something Lady A is notoriously bad at, but with the Fitbit on hand now, it is something she is getting better at.

Overall, this is a fitness tracker that has some impressive features for its price, including in-built GPS and a good battery life. However it is let down by inaccurate tracking, and disappointing “smart” features that flatter to deceive.

Fitbit started the whole wearable craze with its original fitness tracker more than a decade ago. With the Fitbit Versa 3, it’s now been in the smartwatch market long enough to warrant serious consideration.

Built-in GPS; 24/7 heart rate tracking; Sleep monitoring
