Fitbit's Versa is not a smartwatch in the traditional sense, but it is a brilliant iteration of the company's fitness tracker–and may even be their best device to date.
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.
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 can be accessed to log periods, track your cycle and gauge ovulation.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Fitbit's Versa is not a smartwatch in the traditional sense, but it is a brilliant iteration of the company's fitness tracker–and may even be their best device to date.
The Fitbit Versa is a comfortable and stylish smartwatch, with a battery life that lasts far longer than competing smartwatches. Its heart rate and in-depth fitness tracking capabilities - paired with notifications via Fitbit 2.0 - make it a steal for $200. It depends on what you want.
Lightweight case; Offers smartphone notifications; Accurately monitors heart-rate; Solid battery life; Interchangeable bands
Not fully compatible with iOS; Small library of third-party apps; Limited music services
Fitbit's $199 Versa smartwatch combines good looks and fitness acumen into a package that's good enough to challenge the cheaper Apple Watch Series 1.
Small; light; and it comes in rose gold; Great battery life and fitness tracking; Fantastic feature-set for the price
No on-board GPS or NFC in entry-level model; Notifications can be buggy and some features aren't ready at launch
If you're looking for the best app selection (and you're an iPhone user), get an Apple Watch. If you're focused on fitness, there are too many good trackers on the market count. But if you want the best of both worlds, look no further than the Fitbit Versa.
Sleek, lightweight design with lots of style options; Accurate fitness tracking; Guided workouts with Fitbit Coach; Stores music on-device; Long battery life; Will support female health tracking
Swapping straps isn't easy; Thick bezel; Some features not available yet
Back when Apple Watch was just a glimmer in Jony Ive's eye, Pebble was showing the world what a smartwatch could and should be. That spirit can be felt all over Versa. And something tells me it'll make a much bigger dent in the smartwatch landscape than a pebble would.
After two attempts with the Blaze and the Ionic, Fitbit finally made a successful, promising smartwatch. The Versa is what the Blaze should have been from the beginning, but I don't believe Fitbit could have made the Versa if it hadn't developed the Blaze and the Ionic first.

"That's a nice watch," said my colleague, about an hour after I strapped the Fitbit Versa to my person. The new fitness tracker, the company's third pass at a smartwatch you can wear for days at a time, is a welcome update to its butt-ugly predecessor.
A speedy interface and subdued look make it perfect for health nuts averse to the fitness a e s t h e t i c
Feels dinky, especially compared to the polish of the Apple Watch; Music control is a real hassle
A slimmer, more modern-looking smartwatch from Fitbit that still tracks all of your fitness activity. Fitbit announced its second smartwatch, post-Pebble acquisition, earlier this month, in the new Versa. This is a much smaller footprint than the Ionic that Fitbit debuted last year, and it shows.
For most companies , the Ionic would have felt like a disappointment. For Fitbit, it was something more. It wasn’t just a fully realized piece of hardware running undercooked software, it was the basket into which the company seemed to have placed all of its eggs.
