Fitbit Versa 2 review

For me, the Fitbit Versa is frustratingly close to being amazing but I couldn’t make it my main watch without a GPS chip. As it stands, it may still be perfect for you. If your phone’s GPS is up to the task, then this is a wonderfully sporty smartwatch. It looks great, it lasts for days and it benefits from the superb Fitbit app.

The Fitbit Versa 2’s biggest strength is its three-day wearability on a single charge, but that’s not much different from last year’s Versa. Fitness insights and app support are limited — especially with music — and Alexa doesn’t add much value.

The Fitbit Versa 2 is everything that you could ask for in a smartwatch. It is simple yet stylish. It is comfortable to wear for long hours and comes with a long battery life. It is loaded with apps and features that offer users best of what smart watches and fitness wearables have to offer.

With the Versa 2, Fitbit improved a number of things about its smartwatch platform, but isn't able to overcome a fundamental inability to compete with Apple's watchOS ecosystem, especially on the eve of the Apple Watch's own sleep tracking additions.

If you’re looking for a general sports watch with music that can track the occasional run or treadmill session, then the Versa 2 is OK, but even then the lack of built-in GPS and dim screen make it frustrating to use – I’d prefer to have the Apple Watch Series 3 on my wrist for runs in that situation.

Less

The Versa 2 is no doubt an improvement over the original Versa, especially on the display and battery front. For Android smartphone users, it is still a compelling option. No smartwatch comes close the Versa 2’s battery life or sleep tracking ability at that price.

If you’re not already part of the Fitbit ecosystem this is not the time to join. Wait and see if Google manages to merge the best of it’s Wear OS with Fitbit’s well-known strengths in fitness/sleep data analysis and it’s app.

Less

The Versa 2 is a great hybrid of a fitness tracker and a smartwatch, but lacks built-in GPS which may be a deal-breaker for runners. It's still one of the best wearables you can buy for under $200.

Less

The Fitbit Versa 2 is a smart looking, smart acting smart watch. The smart functions are implemented thoughtfully. If you use Alexa or Spotify, you’ll particularly enjoy using this watch.

Less

Fitbit Versa 2 is without a doubt, the best Fitbit can offer in 2019. Its AMOLED display is sharp, vibrant, and very responsive due to the hardware upgrade. While the design looks similar to the original Fitbit Versa, why change what works, right? I do however, wish that the display can cover the whole screen (no reason not to) and I don’t know, wish it has something more than Alexa.
