According to our smartwatch expert
You can keep an eye on your daily activities and record your training data with the Fitbit Versa. The Fitbit Versa Special Edition has a soft nylon strap. On the smartwatch, you can select different sports profiles that you can adjust to your personal goals and fitness level. The Fitbit Versa measures your heart rate, steps, and calories burnt all day, and your sleep rhythm at night. In addition, the smartwatch can also use your smartphone's GPS signal to accurately measure your speed and distance traveled. During your workout, you can view smartphone app notifications, messages, and incoming calls on the Versa's display. Connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones and enjoy over 300 songs that you can listen to via the smartwatch. Worried about an empty battery? The Fitbit Versa lasts about 4 days.
Note: an adapter isn't included. Want to charge the watch via a socket? If so, order an adapter separately.Compatible with operating system | Android, iOS | |

For this I had the fitbit ionic. Also a great fitness tracker, but I thought it was a bit too big / coarse for the female wrist. So I made someone else happy with that. The fitbit versa is a lot more elegant, hence the switch. If I further compare the versa with the ionic, the built-in GPS is missing here. But since I don't run outside anyway, I don't really miss it. GPS via smartphone works fine for me. Furthermore, I have the idea that everything, reaction of the screen to touch, etc. runs a bit more smoothly with the versa.
If you read carefully beforehand, you will know that Fitbit is primarily a fitness and health tracker and not a 100 % smartwatch. He has, however, passed on some handy smartwatch functions such as notifications. The advantage of a Fitbit compared to a "real smartwatch" is of course the battery life. This way you only have to charge the versa once every 4 days. Also because of the fitbit app, my choice always falls on a fitbit. Very clear and concise app. I really like the sleep tracking statistics. The only downside (also compared to the ionic) is the charger that is a kind of block on the versa and that changing the straps is less easy. I really had to watch a video because in the beginning I was really chomping. If you know that when attaching a new strap you have to keep the strap TOV the watch in a "kink" and not horizontally, it is easy in itself. But not as easy as the ionic, which you can also charge more conveniently via the charging cord.
If you want a nice fitness tracker with a number of smartwatch functions, the fitbit versa is an excellent choice.

Works great in combination my Samsung S7 Edge. I was mainly concerned with the health tracker (sleep, heart rate, pedometer and workout tracker) & that I can read and respond to my Whatsapp (coming with the update this month) I have a very small wrist and this is the first smartwatch that doesn't look bulky looks. I charge it while taking a shower, it is full within half an hour and it lasts me about 4 to 5 days. I think the screen will get scratched quickly so I do recommend a screen protector.
There are also many nice watchfaces available, for example I have a cat that can feed you every 1000 steps, are you not walking enough in a day? then he walks away...

I've been wearing the Fitbit Versa for a little over a week now. an iPhone (7) and am very satisfied.
To wish: I was looking for an upgrade of the Fitbit charge (version #1). Hard requirement was a minimum of 2 days battery, sleep measurement, waterproof, heart rate, timer function.
Apple Watch: Considering the price, this product is an absolute winner on every front. Only the Apple Watch provides more functionality, but so is the price. Although the Apple Watch works perfectly in the Apple ecosystem (think of automatically locking and unlocking your Apple computer based on distance), the price is also good. In principle, the Apple Watch is not intended for sleep measurement and you will have to charge the battery more often.
Pros: The essential information is displayed on the Fitbit including: Incoming phone calls, iMessage/messages and calendar activities. This ensures that a notification from the Fitbit only contains information that requires your attention, my dozens of WhatsApp are just distracting so I don't have to look at it. A nice side effect is that you can control music on your phone with this Fitbit. Ideal if your phone is in your pocket while using earbuds with no controls.
As I expect from Fitbit, it is a band that I can wear for several days without irritation on the wrist. Furthermore, the attachment mechanism of the strap inspires confidence. The rise-to-wake function also works well so that the screen is not always on and that you only see something if you want it to.
Cons: There are three physical buttons on the Versa that have a different function when pressed for a long time. I would like to see this functionality adjustable as the timer functionality is more convenient for me than setting an alarm. Finally, a (general FitBit downside) disadvantage is that the Fitbit does not have a 'break'. As a motorcyclist I still want to cover some kilometers of asphalt. The vibration of this is counted as steps and gives a distorted view of my goals. You can set the steps of a period to "0" via the online portal, but ideally there would be another solution for this.
Conclusion: The Fitbit Versa is an absolute must for anyone who wants to have a grip on his or her health data and more insight into their movement activity. Because of the smart functions, the device is also an extension of your mobile phone and you don't have to worry about it, other than charging once a week. If you do look after it, the screen will also turn on automatically with only the essential information.
