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: Lacks GPS, but comes loaded with other features
The Fitbit Versa slips into a more affordable middle ground, but in doing so it loses some key sports functionality, while also struggling with truly extended battery endurance.- Compact design
- Fitbit ecosystem and app
- Lots of straps and colour choices
- Battery life isn't amazing
- No GPS limitations
- Bulky battery charging

awesome smart watch
I bought my watch about 4 months ago, and its been a great investment. Very light, responds well, and the battery last for days (3-4). It has helped me out with working out, my heart rate, and even when I went swimming. Water resistant in fresh water and salt water. A+
Beautiful piece. Love it. Till I had to sync it with my phone. I have an Android and after several attempts and days, I looked up reviews and there is so software issues that Fitbit needs to fix. So it drops a lot. Had to download a 3rd party app to fix. If you don't mind problem solving go for it.
I would by this again
The only negative is the clasp. It is hard to thread the magnetic clasp through the watch frame for wearing on your wrist as the magnet sticks to the frame. While trying to thread it, the watch has to be held in place, but you only have one hand to do this leaving that hand tied up trying to thread...
- Sleep function
- which was the main reason for my purchase gives an excellent detailed breakdown of my nights sleep
- Charging dock can be problematic if your short sighted
- If you haven't got your glasses on, it's easy to insert the Fitbit the wrong way, which results in no charging
- Should only go in one way
- Charging dock doesn't sit flat as band pushes it over
Fitbit Versa Classic Smartwatch Grey FB505SRGY-CJK review
If you want to spend less on a Fitbit with a large screen, cool colours and lots of strap options then the Versa Lite is for you. Here is our full review
Fitbit Versa review
As fans of the larger, more expensive Ionic, we appreciate that for the Versa Fitbit hasn’t cut back many features to allow for the smaller watch size and much-cheaper price-tag. The lack of built-in GPS affects only the determined phone-free runner, and most of us run with our smartphone anyway so the Versa can use the GPS on the phone. The new Female Health Tracking functions are helpful to 50% of the population, and it will be interesting to see what insights these bring to the Versa user and health professionals in general. While it's not the most accomplished smartwatch it remains one of the best activity trackers. While new apps are being added all the time, Fitbit's place in the smartwatch arena is its superior fitness, health and activity tracking features, and the Versa looks like it will win over more people to the Fitbit smartwatch world.
Fitbit Versa Review
The Fitbit Versa offers just the right blend of smartwatch and fitness tracking features for a reasonable price. For its second smartwatch, Fitbit is taking a more casual approach. As its name implies, the Versa is versatile in design, with myriad customizable clock faces, straps, and color options. It's versatile in functionality as well, capable of tracking all of your typical fitness metrics, as well as fielding your texts, calls, and app notifications. It even has its own solid app library. And at $199.95, the Versa is one of the more affordable fitness tracker-smartwatch hybrids on the market. If that wasn't enough, it's also one of the first to natively support female health tracking both in app and on-device. That makes it our Editors' Choice for smartwatches. Sleek and Chic You'd be forgiven for thinking the Versa is the Apple Watch at first glance. From the "squircle" display to the modular straps, the resemblance is uncanny—and that's a good thing. Where the Fitbit Ionic's blocky design leans sporty, the Versa's rounded corners make for a sleeker, friendlier look and feel. It's wat...- Sleek, lightweight design with lots of style options
- Accurate fitness tracking
- Guided workouts with Fitbit Coach
- Stores music on-device
- Long battery life
- Supports female health tracking
- Swapping straps isn't easy
- Thick bezel
