Fitbit Versa
The Fitbit Versa is a good looking and swim proof Smart Watch that keeps you on track to look pretty good yourself, thanks to its health and fitness management features.
Your own dashboard
The personal Fitbit Dashboard will guide you as you strive to reach your individual goals. Meanwhile, the Fitbit Today feature is a simple way to check daily stats and progress, plus personalised insights and reminders right there on your watch. It's also nice and easy to track the length and quality of your sleep and its different stages, including light, deep and REM sleep.
Female health tracking
Female health tracking can be accessed to log periods, track your cycle and gauge ovulation.
A moving reminder
There's no need to worry about becoming chair-bound! Regular "Reminders to Move" will gently encourage you to keep up periods of activity during the day.
Take time to breathe
The Fitbit Versa will lead you through a guided breathing session that's based on your heart rate. While we're talking about matters of the heart, the PurePulse Heart Rate feature tracks all-day heart rate, resting heart rate and heart rate zones during workouts.
So many ways to stay active
With at least 15 exercise modes, including Swim and Run, the Fitbit Versa lets you monitor real-time statistics while you exercise. Personalised dynamic coaching is also available.
A well-connected Smart Watch
Connect to your phone's GPS too see pace and distance during runs or rides. For even more convenience, the Versa can offer more than four days of battery life, store more than 300 songs, and let you shop and run with the Contactless Payment feature.
A newer model Fitbit Versa 2 was released in May 2019.

Fitbit Versa Review: Awesome Apple Watch Alternative
We liked Fitbit's Ionic , the company's first smartwatch after years of making fitness trackers for health-conscious consumers. But despite its many positive attributes, the Ionic was ultimately flawed: it was expensive, it had limited access to apps and had a design that was pretty polarizing,...
Fitbit Versa Review
The Fitbit Versa boasts strong fitness features for a smartwatch. The company once again proved their mastery of crafting fitness devices. It may look bland on its own but the various strap choices are more than enough to make it look sassy.- Impressive Fitness Features
- Stellar battery life
- Improved UI
- Sturdy build
- Beautiful Screen
- Lack of apps
- Lack of GPS
- Tedious software setups
A s I wrote in my review of the Fitbit Ionic at the turn of the year, there's no sign as yet of the fitness industry slowing down when it comes to fitness trackers. At the same time, smartwatches have seen a similar increase in sales with the likes of the Samsung Gear and Apple Watch leading the way...
Fitbit Versa Classic Smartwatch Grey FB505SRGY-CJK review
Fitbit has been quite the role lately dropping a new catalog of products late fall including a smartwatch called the Ionic . Hot on the heels of that they are releasing another smartwatch called the Versa.
Fitbit were the first big name in wearable fitness trackers and were so influential that their brand became synonymous with fitness trackers. At a certain point people started wanting more from their fitness trackers, and in response, Fitbit attempted to build their own smartwatch but just could not...
Fitbit Versa smartwatch
For several years now, Fitbit has been a name synonymous with activity trackers. The Fitbit Versa, however, is much more than a wearable gizmo that counts your steps. It is a full-fledged smartwatch and a capable fitness companion – one that you can safely swim with, one that stores music for offline listening, one that lasts for days between charges. And all of that comes at a very reasonable price of $200. But is getting one really worth it? I spent a couple of weeks wearing the Fitbit Versa to find out.In the box:Fitbit VersaSmall and large bandsCharging dockpapersDesign and comfort /124260794/.2_6924.3_phonearena.com_tier1 ImageTagInstance gallery-8b8c84f4-cda2-4851-a5a1-5f2ac86945c3 With its bland case design and square display that isn't even centered, the Fitbit Versa may easily be mistaken for a watch you'd pull out of a claw crane machine. That, however, stopped being of any importance as soon as I wrapped it around my wrist. The Versa is very light and very comfortable, and I...- Light and comfortable

Fitbit Versa
Fitbit Versa is marketed overseas as the affordable smartwatch, but locally priced at R3 200 it's perhaps not as affordable as one would hope. But for that price you buy into a comprehensive system, since Fitbit has managed to transcend the world of simply tracking activity.- Nice size
- space for music
- ok price
- No GPS
- can be a bit finicky when setting up certain functionality
Less than half a year since its foray into smartwatches, Fitbit is back with its second offering: the Versa. The acquisitions of Kickstarter-famous Pebble and payment start-up Coin have been central to Fitbit's progress in this product segment, and now the company is building out its portfolio.

Great product if you want a fitness tracker.
I love my Versa - it's a great fitness tracker that's quite easy to use if you're technologically savvy. Here's the thing though, if you're looking for a fitness tracker first and foremost, and a smart-watch second, then this is the product for you - it combines the two functions wonderfully,...
