This is a quality honest review

Thank you! This is the most honest, unbiased review I have ever seen for the Versa 3

Thank you for the very honest review! I tend to have my phone on me at all times, so I don't anticipate using any of Fitbit's music features so that issue isn't a dealbreaker for me. I can definitely see its use case though and why it's such an issue, so hopefully they'll announce something to restore that feature. Thank you again!

SUPERIOR review! Excellent visuals and graphics, fluid delivery and tons of actionable information. Well done, sir!

love your calm review. subbed

Great review! First time coming across this channel, although I did find the video a bit long, it was good, straightforward, and simple.

Thank you, sir! My original versa just bit the bullet today and this has helped with researching my next watch.

Excellent review. Your time and effort are much appreciated.Thank you.

Love the review. My fitbit charge 2 that I had for several years finally died and now I am shopping for a new one. I love the review you gave and am wanting a water proof watch this time. I love all the features that the versa 3 offers. I have never had music on my fitbits so the music isn't a big deal for me and I already pay the fitbit premium. I love tracking my sleep and I think I would enjoy the special alarm feature. Thank you for the awesome review

Thanks for this, I was considering getting the new versa 3 but now that I know about the inability to load my own music I think ill wait to see what Fitbit says or ill go for the versa 2.

Just got the Versa 3 for christmas. Great infomation.

This is a great review. One of the best. Nice one 👍

I've never used the music storage feature once on my Versa watch i've had for 2 years. Still i can see how some people would love it.

I see your video was made in Sept of 2020 and is now late June of 22 so I am hoping all the things you hoped they would add have been added. My Versa 2 literally came apart in the pool yesterday so looking to get another one asap. Thank you so very much for this very informative review. After watching I believe I will go to the Versa 3 although I did love my 2 and have had it for several years. Thank you again. Nice work

Thanks for pointing out that they removed the "my music" option.

Thanks for the review. That's a bummer about the music. Must have entered some sort of deal with the providers to force paying for premium packages

Good job! Thank you for explaining all the differences. I have a Versa 2 smart watch, so far all is good.

Such an honest on the point review !!

I can't believe that none of these reviews that the reviewers have not caught on to the fact that it counts steps as you drive which is a terrible flaw. I drive a truck and there's no way I do almost 20,000 steps a day driving a truck.

Thanks for all the excellent explanation !

Thank you. I appreciated the honesty and I was just about to buy it.

Good review! Thank you 🙏🏾

Thanks for this excellent review and for the warning about mp3s.

Excellent comparison. Hope they add Pandora, but also I've had Pandora Music almost from it's release and it's on all my other devices, so would be a deal breaker for me, too. The sleep data is also very important for me as I have borderline sleep apnea, so if there are others with this condition, Fitbitbis definitely a big 👍! Thanks for the review.

good job keep up the updates

So sad about the lack of spotify offline. Would be a day 1, must buy if it had that feature. 😔 Great review!

Thanks for the cool review! For me the music could have been quieter. Esecially at 10:10 it was very loud :/ Keep up the great work!

The whole point of getting a smart watch with a gps is to not need to have your phone! If you can't listen to your own music, then you need to bring your phone. If you bring your phone you might as well use the GPS in your phone. There's no point in getting the Versa 3 right now. There have not been any bounds or leaps in tech since the Versa 2. Buy the Versa 2 and have peace of mind.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this problem. I warned other vloggers about this flaw. I'm keeping my Ionic now.

Very nice detailed review, after watching this I've decided to keep my versa 2. Even though I envy the new fitbit OS and new band mechanism, nothing much else that I need is added this time around.

Great Review Thanks !

this was really helpful. i have the versa 3 in my cart for an upgrade from my versa 1. Been researching the past 2 days. thanks for the useful comparison!

Thanks a lot! I had an Inspire HR for a while then recently changed to an Apple Watch however I don't like it as much since it's not really that user-friendly, but thanks to your review, I'm much more confident in switching back!

I don't care about that particular feature because I always bring my phone. Still an excellent and reasonable review

Great review - one of the best I've seen on any product... after watching I did still order the versa 3 (as my phone is pretty much nearly always with me) so the deal breaker wasn't that big to me. Still, will be good to see if FITBIT upgrade this and change that music/phone issue you covered. Thanks so much!

Thank you. This was simply enlightening!

Wow! I was waiting for the OnePlus Watch, but decided on this watch instead, but If I hadn't have watched this review i would've gone out and bought the watch next payday, confident that I would be able to store my favourite audio books etc... on the watch - you expect to be able to store whatever you want on the storage that you've paid for. Guess I'm going to keep looking lol. Thank you for the review.

Thanks so much! I bought the fitbit versa 2 a couple of days ago, but have been seriously considering upgrading to the Versa 3, until now! I've started running and use Strava now, so the main reason for wanting an upgrade is to track my runs without having to carry my phone! But I use the music app on my fitbit 2 all the time! Because the Spotify app is a massive disappointment (even with the phone nearby). All I want is a smart watch with an in-built GPS for strava and track records, and downloadable music or at least Spotify without the need for your phone.

I had a FB Versa which I used to track my swimming laps & I was able to pause it between sets. I "upgraded" to the Versa 2 & it had neither of these features. during the SWIM exercise program it was merely a stopwatch.... I returned the Versa 2 & am trying to decide between the Versa 3 & the Sense....

great review very helpful keep up the good work thank you

Thank you. Good review and Go Bearcats!

Thanks for the review! Do these watches sync with iPhones?

Great review 👌

That’ doesn’t bother me I’m not here to use my Fitbit watch to listen to music after all I bought it for the fitness aspect side to track my exercise and sleep and other things that looks great on the versa 3! it’s a big upgrade for me I had the Fitbit charge 2 for 4 years it lasted me so I’m excited for this upgrade!

Just have to say, really nice shirt👌👌 and good review!

Fantastic review! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it.

If they add the music feature thingo can you tell us please thanks

Great work, very informative.

great review thank you

Great Feedback, Thanks .

Is the microphone sensitivity, or ability to pickup voices, improved on the versa 3?

Great, thorough review. Music is not an issue for me, and since I found your website AFTER I had just ordered a Versa 3, I will sleep better tonight!

I love mine, my primary use is to track my runs, and the GPS is spot on, and since I always have my phone with me, listening to music is simple. I don't need bells and whistles,the Versa 3 does exactly what I need it to do. I have a fitness band, but wanted a watch for all day use.

Love the review and the shirt Go Bearcats!!!

Great review!

Wow nice review ☺️

Awesome review! I’ve been trying to decide on the Fitbit Versa 2 or the Galaxy 2 sports watch ( for women. I like the round face look). Price is a big deal for me as well. Looking at itouch which is a very basic watch...

Great review! I was waiting for a Black Friday sale to pick this up but the music part is a dealbreaker for me 😔. I hope Fitbit makes this right before the holidays. I really want one.

I pre-ordered the Versa 3, but in the end I realized I don't like the style, so I cancelled the order and got Garmin Venu. Looks like it was the right decision

I found with the versa 2 when I went on the desktop to add my own music I could not get the app to sync with the versa so up till now I can’t add any music of my own. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

Is the screen viewable area larger than the versa 2?

The review helped a lot. Just ordered Versa 2, but hesitated that would better made it to Versa 3. Now I am sure the choice was right

Does the Versa 3 pause the timer when you stop like the Versa 2, I hope you can help me here? Thanks Courtney

Excellent review! I especially love that you didn’t use the crutch word “like” one single time the way a lot of people do nowadays. Well done!

Great review. On a personal note, as someone with hearing impairment, I sometimes found the backing music a bit distracting, due to how loud it got compared to your speech.

Great info. thanx

Nice review I think I'll be getting the Garmin or the versa 2

I have a Note 8 phone. I can't get it to link up to notify me with phone calls. Do you have any idea's.

I have a couple of questions...(1) When answering calls on the Sense (or any of the newer Versas) can you speak through the watch when it's connected by bluetooth or do you still need to speak through the phone? (2) Are all the advertised "features" available without a subscription? I know there are communities and other enhancements that are only available with a premium subscription.

Also someone help me?! When it is supposed to make sound? Mine isn't and didn't when I unboxed it. I'm worried it is defective out the gate. Can anyone help me

Hi I know this is of topic but I need to ask do you know what I can do because I have the versa 2 but my Bluetooth earphones are not getting picked up by my versa 2 do you know the problem?

Yeah, I picked up the sense and I had to upgrade my Pandora to listen to music. That one key feature that I miss from my versa one.

14:04 Can I get an update? Did Fitbit fix this??? I will no longer buy Fitbit, if I have to pay $10 a month for music.

I have the Versa 2 and I typically charge my watch while I'm taking a shower and that seems to do the trick. The lowest I've ever allowed the battery to get is about 20% and that does take a couple of hours to charge back to 100%. I've thought about upgrading to the Versa 3, but I honestly don't see enough added features to justify the expense. The GPS part would be nice, but I always have my phone with me anyway so it isn't that big of a deal to me. The band is another problem for me. I like that the Versa 2 can use a regular watchband if you want it to, and you aren't locked into a Fitbit band.

Great review. I’ve been with Fitbit for 8 years now. I was so excited to see this new watch I’ve been searching for an upgrade and I really don’t want to leave fit but I’m so disappointed with all the negative feed back that I’m thinking about ordering Garmin Vivoactive 4... I’ve been doing some research for a few months now.

I had no idea about the Versa 2 having the music feature. I bought the Sense after the lousy battery life of the iWatch. Had I known about the Versa 2 music download option I would have bought that instead. I agree with your decision to send it back, I would.

Love the Cincinnati shirt!

Great review, you earn a new susciber, between versa 3 and ticwatch pro 2020 for exercise and daily use, which one is better for you? Thanks a lot

Great review! Its a shame you cant store your own music. I still plan on purchasing the watch because my phone is glued to my side anyway but it would be nice if they added the feature in the future. I was hoping to find a versa 3 at my local walmart to put on layaway but from what Im seeing theyre not available in stores right now, only online.

So did you use the ECG feature ?

I bought Versa 3 today and once I connected it to the Wi-Fi, it did an update twice. I should have tested if the feature was there before the updates but could not as I was not able to use without the forced update. I totally agree with the review - top notch smart watch except for the removed feature to upload my own mp3s. This is really bad and I might return it as well!

Thanks for the video, what ended up happening w/ did you send it back? Also I herd another KZfaqr say it will not record O² levels unless you are subscribed to there monthly service? Is that true?

I have found that the heart rate is very accurate. (versa 2) I recently had a chemical-induced. stress test. My VERSA 2 stayed right along with the heart monitor. Does the VERSA 3 have ant feathers that the sense has?

Thanks you for the tip. You saved me a lot of money. Noway am I paying a couple hundred bucks on a smart watch to then have to pay 10 bucks a month forever just to get good usage out of it. Fitbit has gotten way too greedy. I'll stay with my Galaxy watch.

returning my versa 3 back to fitbit this week because I cannot have my own music on it.. Ive owned it for about 3 weeks now and the deal breaker is no music on board. My Iconic was fantastic, much much better then the versa. great review

Excellent review BUT everyone should take note that 'one size does not fit all'. I have been with Fitbit for 5 years and bought the Surge (which has built in GPS and the appearance of a fitness device (as opposed to the swanky AppleWatch type design). Still have it as a backup and it worked perfectly well for me with walking to the gym and logging workouts etc (iPhone Fitbit app is, for me the best part of the service, with easy reading on my phone, iPad and iMac dashboard. 6 months free 'Premium' on new purchase, £7.99 a month thereafter). This is where my 'requirements' differ from yours (and maybe I am the one in a thousand) = I have NEVER played music while walking/running/working out at the gym on any device, it would distract from my concentration. I purchased the first Versa (no GPS) because I wanted the 'look' of a normal watch but with the built in functionality of a 'sports watch' (Surge) bought the Versa 2 (because of GPS via connection to iPhone). I always listen/watch other people's evaluation/views on products I am thinking of buying. The only issue I have is whether to pay the extra £100 for the Sense (£299) as opposed to the Fitbit 3. Given the reasonable return window, and the extra sensors installed in the Sense I will probably buy that model (I have hypertension and as health and fitness go hand in hand I prefer the holistic approach). What I do like the look of : Easy connector straps, no fiddling with old connections. Fast charge battery. Integral upgraded system architecture for future hard and software upgrades, especially for health readings, skin temp, heart rate, oximeter and so on. I will wait a few more weeks to see other reviews and if there are any announcements relating to the very reasonable and easy performance requirements that you site. First time I have watched your channel and delighted to view a very sensible, non jingoistic appraisal. In due course I may return after I have purchased the Sense and update this entry. Many thanks. Brian

the best review so far, i am not tech savvy

I have a question which phone would be best. I got a versa 3 but the update will not load to my phone.

Awesome review! Even though I will never buy another fitbit anything again my last watch was ionic that was ruined from the updates. I see they are taking another step back.....thanks for the review again none the less!!

can Fitbit V3 can play MP3 from watch without phone? V3 can download MP3 to watch under same wifi AP. is it same function for runners?

Fit it’s firmware updates sometimes mess up their watches, I have an ionic that’s messed up from an update

great information. I wanted to add one suggestion- but it requires you to take your phone. Strava has an app that is free with gps- you could use this to save the gps from your fitbit. I guess for me, if I were to take a LONG walk or really long run, I would want my phone so I guess this would take care of that issue. I am sorry to hear they took the feature away from downloading your own music - as it happens, we have a Pandora account. I am still trying to decide whether to keep the fitbit versa 3 - this was helpful.

My blaze has just stopped working after years and the versa 2 doesn't work on HR sensor without an epoxy clear toe sticker on as I have tattoos(the blaze worked because of lot larger sensor's)anyone recommend a good watch that works with tattoos please

Excellent review. (Like your Bearcats shirt. I'm a UC alumnus, class of '66 & '69.)

I just got a versa 3 for one reason. It connects with my Dexcom continuous glucose monitor. My BG # and a graph shows up on the screen. Super cool.

Hi, thanks for the video! So, IF (big if :) ) FitBit adds the possibility to take calls on the watch, and adds the music storage in some future updates, this turns out to be a very good smartwatch, right? Is it technically possible to have those feature upgrades? Thanks!

Well I'd already JUST bought my versa 2 this month, but nevertheless great review - may pick one of the 3s up for the husband, but I'm still happy with the 2! Thanks for the comprehensive review~!

So we can't take calls from this? Why does it ring?

I believe the reason why it doesn't allow you to use the phone GPS is because it factors in more data in the maps which require more on-device processing.
