FITBIT VERSA 3 | The BEST (and LAST) of Its Breed ...just get rid of that paywall, Fitbit.

The Fitbit Versa 3 might be the last of its breed if the sale of the brand to Google happens. This latest iteration is a really capable watch, if you can ignore the extras you have pay to explore its full potential. Total bummer.
And oh yes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! What GearUP has become in 2020 is all thanks to YOU... well, and Covid, too. So CHEERS to you and a super 2021 to us all!

For those complaining about the "button issue"... for me the button works flawlessly...though, at first I was seeing the issue... but I have found that even though it isn't a button that moves in and out, you STILL have to apply pressure to the button. Since I figured that out, I haven't had a single issue with the button... give it a light press as if it was an actual moving button. Hope that helps those experiencing that particular issue.

Just got the versa 3 last week I had the versa 1 previously before swapping to the gear S3, gotta say Fitbit have really upped the game, they're mo longer just fitness trackers with minor smart watch features. The versa 3 is more responsive and faster as a smartwatch then what my S3 was, gorgeous design, voice replies and calls work quickly and well, Google assistant is awesome and responsive oh and amazing fitness tracking

I have no problems with the capacitive button. The trick is to stabilize the watch on the opposite side of the button with your other finger or fingers. It's almost like you're squeezing the watch on both sides.

I’ve just bought a Versa 3 (coming from Charge 3) after careful consideration as I was tempted to get an Apple Watch SE. I’m really glad I stuck with Fitbit as I’m loving it although it’s only been 1 week. Have Fitbit revised the button ? as I see a lot of complaints about it but I’m having no issues what so ever. I’m loving the battery life, I’ve just put it on charge after 7 days use and was only down to 25%. That is what kept me away from the Apple Watch 🙏

Excellent review. I think that pay wall might be what nixes it for me. I really wanted to use the health stuff. How much extra do they make you pay for that? For heart rate, O2 levels etc?

@gearupaaron 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry about the late reply, but good question... The premium plan is $10 a month and opens up HR variability (note that regular HR functions are usable on the watch), O² saturation, and other advanced health metrics. Hope that helps some.

I personally think the versa 2 is a bit better for now. The versa 2 has on board music and also the os is pretty smooth. Heart rate is accurate, and u get many features as well for a good price. Versa 3 has on board gps but no on board music. Theres no physical button which is frustrating at times, and also os can be laggy sometimes.
