Fitbit Versa 2 on Amazon: amzn.to/3bjqw1o (link helps support channel, thanks!)
The new Fitbit Versa 2 is here, complete with Amazon Alexa, new sleep scores, a new Spotify app (sorta), and plenty of other tweaks that make it a much more compelling offering than the existing original Versa or Versa Lite. From the new Smart Wake alarms, to Fitbit Premium, plus Sleep Score and a new display and faster processor. Also the new always-on display option. I dig into all the details step by step with all these new features and plenty more.

@@MindControl3 Yes, but it's not new. Premium is coming as software update anyways. Which means my current versa will be able to do the same, plus already NEED your phone for voice commands, music streaming, and fitbit pay so it's redundant to use the watch that way when your holding your phone in the other hand. Fitbit analytics are elementary compared to Suunto or garmin. That is why i no longer use one. It's great for beginners but is easily out grown.

Another great review! Sorry to hear there is no offline support :( - Samsung had the feature years ago. The slowness with Alexa searches sounds more than annoying and far too buggy. It is too bad Fitbit has not used the $40 million to better uses after purchasing Pebble. The AOD (always on display) does sound like a nice feature - just like their old Fitbit Surge!
@richlaue 4 жыл бұрын
What do you mean by offline support? As for the speed of Alexa yea it might not be supper fast. The watch records your voice, sends the recording to the phone, the phone then sends the recording to the Alexa server. The Alexa Server then sends back an answer to the phone, the phone then sends the answer to the watch. How fast is your Internet connection?

They don’t rent and then not actually own something after years of subscribing. Only millennials have fallen for these silly subscriptions. Better to own and keep. I own all my music.

This versa 2 is just a Pebble with a new shades and a new dress. 200 bucks is almost triple what the Pebble was a while ago. Granted Fitbit bought pebble and now Google bought Fitbit. Are they going to continue with the same nonsense or scratch it?

I don't think so - I think it has some compelling features for the right person. But I think it's a dangerous price point/offering to be at with Apple's typical September announcement period coming up in two weeks.

DC Rainmaker from the video and performance / features it looks to me like a miss on Fitbit’s end. Either way, the Apple Watch isn’t for me neither is this device. Glad I watched the video. Thank you

Will the new Apple watch go at least 24 hours between charges? Will apple monitor Sleep Apnea? Fitbit says this will be released soon. My provoke is that I don't think Fitbit understands the meaning of Soon. BTW I received the Versa 2 as well as the Aria Air this Thursday.

Alexa? Spyware during running? This is real shit!👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Alexa can only listen while the button is pressed. Please if your worried about software, stay away from Google and any of the billions of sights that use Google advertising. Also do not go near Facebook.

Is it just me or does it look like Fitbit copied Apple Watch display and made it square?
@kobedabest 4 жыл бұрын
So, Apple owns square watch now? If we go by that standard Samsung and LG made square watch way before Apple even launch it's first iWatch.

Apple also stole the idea of a mouse. Not to mention that the Mac OS is Stolen Unix.
