I wake up to a buzzing on my wrist, in gentle pulses. It's my Fitbit Versa's alarm clock. I'm able to use the silent alarm because I'm wearing my Fitbit smartwatch to bed. I'm able to wear it to bed because Fitbit's new watch lasts several days on a charge. I love that. It's a nice flashback to my days of wearing watches by Pebble -- the upstart smartwatch pioneer that Fitbit acquired in the closing days of 2016. In fact, the Versa is literally, as a coworker said, like the Apple Watch and Pebble had a little baby.
The Fitbit Versa is the best fusion of smartwatch and general fitness tracker under $200, if you can live with its limitations.
The Fitbit Versa is a compact, lightweight smartwatch and fitness tracker with an improved interface for easier fitness stat readouts; It’s water-resistant to 50 meters, and works with iOS and Android; Many of the apps and watch faces are useful and fun; Multiday battery life beats the Apple Watch.
Its battery life falls short of other Fitbit fitness trackers; The apps and watch faces aren’t always easy to load; Music transfer to the watch is complicated and limited; There's no on-board GPS and the charger is bulky; Tap-to-pay model costs a bit more in the US.
