Welcome to my Fitbit Versa 2 Review. I believe this is one of the best fitness trackers on the market...but an average smartwatch.

Great review. My Fitbit Blaze is dead and I wanted to upgrade. I just bought the Versa 2 from Amazon. Can't wait to connect it to my Fitbit Aria 2 scale.

@guye94 4 жыл бұрын

Paywalling behind premium sucks, particularly at that price per month. However with the google acquisition, I can see the premium price being withdrawn. Do you? I’m likely to buy one in the next few days as upgrading from the Alta after 4 years: how convenient is Fitbit Pay? Also, how tight does the contact need to be on your wrist for Heart Rate tracking to be reliable? Great review, thanks

I love this watch. I've had the inspire, charge 3 and now the versa 2. I love it. The only thing i hate are the pain in the ass pins to change the bands. With my charge 3 had a button and you could change the bands in 2 seconds.

Very informative review. I was about to buy the Versa 2 , and one of the reasons is its detailed sleep tracking feature, but thanks to you, I've just learned you need a subscription for that. The main reason you buy a Versa 2 is for its tracking capabilites, but if you have to pay a subscription to get the full tracking, then there's no way I'll buy that watch. Thanks for the heads up.

How accurate are the sensors in this. Without doing a test comparing it to other watches, and a proper medial tester you can't say it's a great fitness tracker. Always on and Screen Wake Auto (motion) are ok but to save battery it is better to Set Screen Wake to Manual (button). Downloading songs from spotify, while nice, would fill up the 2gb storage faster.

I own this watch and I’m an avid golfer. So no onboard GPS is a drag. The heart rate monitor and sleep tracking is the best feature but I agree that Fitbit premium is not worth the extra sleep data. They should provide that data as part of the normal cost. I have to switch between this watch and my garmin golf watch and that sucks. If I could only pick one I’d definitely keep my Garmin. I also believe Garmin has models with heart rate monitor, and Gamins “ connect” app is pretty good. I like the look of the Versa 2 but it lacks functionality for the cost.

I think the calorie burn count from exercise workouts on fitbit versa2 is inaccurate. I was running hills yesterday and my my Versa2 was not detecting my high heart rate pulse. My Polar Ignite Fitness was picking up my heart rate pulse while fast running hills. In the end, the Polar Ignite watch showed I burned 125 more calories for the workout. To be sure of the accuracy I am going to buy me a Polar chest strap or arm strap sensor and I will know the best accuracy.

I loved my versa 2 as it was my first too, but so many problems after 3 years: first, it died and i was told that most people keep their fitbit for about 2 years ? Then, the steps accuracy has never been on point. Walking with groups of friends with a bunch of different watches, i was ALWAYS waaaayyyy above. (15k steps for most of them...19k for me for the most recent example)

This watch does NOT track your steps so not the best for fitness. My watch told me I walked 5,000 steps and gave me a badge. Well I didn't do a lot of walking that day because I was working as cashier so it tracked my wrist. My fitness app from samsung said I only walked 355 steps which is accurate. Thats a BIG difference. I'm happy with it has far as a smart watch. There is much better out there and this is pricey.
