Fitbit Versa review: A stylish smartwatch at the right price

The Fitbit Versa is a prettier, cheaper version of the company's first true smartwatch, the Ionic. It lacks built-in GPS and NFC payments, but you'll save $100 if you opt for the new watch over the original. The Versa still boasts four-day battery life...

Best-looking Fitbit yet ; Bright colorful screen ; Affordable for what it offers ; Long-lasting battery

No GPS built in ; Lacks NFC payments

Fitbit Versa review

Fitness buff or not, the sleek and stylish Fitbit Versa adjusts to any lifestyle.

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

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...

Fitbit Versa

The Fitbit Versa offers just the right blend of smartwatch and fitness tracking features for a reasonable price.

Sleek, lightweight design with lots of style options. Accurate fitness tracking. Guided workouts with Fitbit Coach. Stores music on-device. Long battery life. Supports female health tracking.

Swapping straps isn't easy. Thick bezel.

Bottom Line: The Fitbit Versa offers just the right blend of smartwatch and fitness tracking features for a reasonable price.

Fitbit’s $199 answer to the Apple Watch is basically great

After a month with the Fitbit Versa, we're looking past its limitations and finding there's still a lot to love.

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...

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...

The Fitbit Versa is the best fusion of smartwatch and general fitness tracker under $200, if you can live with its limitations.

Fitbit’s Versa is its best smartwatch yet

The Versa is Fitbit's answer to the Apple Watch Series 1, but how does it stack up?

Flat, lightweight build ; Compatible with iOS and Android ; Tracks a wide variety of health / fitness stuff ; Four-day battery life

Poor notification support ; Swapping bands sucks ; No data sharing with Apple Health or Google Fit

Fitbit is undercutting the Apple Watch with its new $200 Versa. It’s a pretty good smartwatch — except when it comes to notifications.

Light and comfortable ; Great battery life ; Bright and colorful display ; User-friendly software ; 5ATM water resistance ; Works with both iOS and Android

Software needs more work ; Selection of apps and watchfaces does not impress ; No always-on display (except when exercising) ; Spotify and Apple Music not supported ; No dedicated GPS

Fitbit Versa review: Finally, a smartwatch that can make Fitbit proud

For the past couple of years, Fitbit has flirted with making a smartwatch to compete with the Apple Watch, Pebble, and Samsung. But, until recently, the company had always stopped short of calling one of its products a smartwatch.

Battery life ; Staple Fitbit fitness features ; Design

App store is lacking ; Only available in one size

Fitbit Versa Smart Fitness Watch Review

Fitbit has successfully refined the smartwatch concept, but the lack of usable apps is getting hard to defend.

Fitbit Versa Review: The Best Smartwatch Under $200

The Versa is clearly the first attempt at the device Fitbit wants to make: a mainstream smartwatch at an affordable price point with a sense of style backed up by Fitbit's advanced health-tracking platform and well-designed app. There are a few things...

Sleek, lightweight design ; Four-day battery life ; Female health-tracking features ; Insightful sleep analysis

Small app store ; No on-board GPS ; Limited actionable notifications

With improved design and thoughtful new features, Fitbit's Versa edges closer to taking Apple's smartwatch crown.
