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 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.

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
