Fitbit Versa 2 Health & Fitness Smartwatch with Voice Control, Sleep Score & Music

Product Information

With its soft angles and slim screen, this smartwatch features a minimalist design and beautiful finishes. With only 23 grams on the scale, it is light enough to be worn continuously and forgotten. The Fitbit Versa 2 also features an elegant silhouette, enhanced by interchangeable straps in different materials and colours. The American manufacturer has created a watch that will suit all wearers, regardless of taste. Daily Monitoring Fitbit has made a move to challenge Apple's dominance in the smartwatch market, realising that a huge chunk of the market prioritises fitness applications. And you can see this in the comparison between the Versa 2 and the Apple Watch 5 (the most realistic comparison as of early 2020). If you own an Apple iPhone, you can probably do a lot more with the Watch 5, and Apple have paid a bit more attention to aesthetics. If you're shopping for a watch to show off at work, rather than at the gym, the Watch 5 will probably be preferable. But the sleep analysis tools, variety of fitness programs, and the relatively low Fitbit Versa 2 price tag makes it a far better option for most fitness fanatics.

See call, text or calendar notifications on screen and get push notifications from your favourite apps. Available when your phone is nearby. Fitbit Versa Lite – Simple, easy to use, and with key fitness and smart features, the Fitbit Versa Lite Edition is cheaper and more accessible version of the Versa 2. The low price is great, but it also means that you won't have access to some features of the Versa 2 such as Spotify or Fitbit Pay, so perhaps this is a good choice if price is your main concern. Designed with a super-light aluminium case, Versa 2 is comfortable enough to wear all day and night. Again, this isn’t necessarily Fitbit’s fault but it does underline the perils of relying on phone data rather than bundling a dedicated GPS chip. If you can’t trust your phone’s GPS and you’re a serious runner, then the Fitbit Versa 2 simply isn’t for you. Fitbit Versa 2 review: Fitbit Premium It’s comfortable, too, with straps that can be replaced should you want to mix things up a bit. I’ve been wearing the salmon pink and rose gold number Fitbit sent us, which has raised a few eyebrows from friends and family as it’s somewhat out of step with my usual colour palette, but I could have swapped things out easily enough.Automatically record select exercises like swimming, running, aerobic workouts and more & see your stats in the Fitbit app.

As a second test, I took it out running on a regular route around my neighbourhood that Mapometre measures as exactly 5km. Fitbit said I did 4.74km this time, giving me an average pace that was slower than I actually achieved. The reason for this is pretty clear when you dig into the mapping data:The star of the show is undoubtedly the guided workouts, which provide a personal trainer showing you how to do various exercises and guiding you through them. There are a dizzying number of these, each one showing how long it’ll take and how many calories you can expect to burn. The gym and home-based ones offer video (which can be cast to a big screen) while running and walking ones provide music and words to keep you motivated and guide you through the experience. It really is pretty impressive. Based on your heart rate, time asleep, restlessness and breathing, this personalised score helps you better understand your sleep quality each night. Irregular heart rhythm notifications are only available in select countries and with select Fitbit products; not intended for use by people under 22 years old or with known atrial fibrillation. See here for additional details. It also makes sense to compare the Versa 2 with the Fitbit Versa Lite. As the name indicates, the Fitbit Versa Lite is similar in design and looks, but with fewer features and a smaller price tag. If you aren't too bothered about maxing out on apps and workout routines, the Lite is a good option, but it may not have enough features for serious runners, cyclists, or gym bunnies.
