The one mistake I see is that Google has not bought Fitbit. They only offered to purchase. The feds have not approved the sale yet and it is very unlikely to go through this year. Fitbit did not buy the company pebble, they bought the technology and acquired a lot of their techs.

I actually liked your detailed review and it seems you have put a lot of effort on checking and comparing most of the features. One thing I noticed in the watch while transferring music from the windows desktop app, the battery drained so fast, from around 70% it came straight to 25% in transferring around 119 mp3 songs and below 25%, the watch actually got disconnected with the windows app and asked for charging the device > 25. However the overall battery life in general is good, it lasted for me around 2 days with half charged. In a full charge it came to 73% from 100% in around 24 hours. Thanks for sharing the details about sleep apnea as well, will check it out surely. This watch is surely with many pros and cons, however it's a good buy considering battery life, high resolution display and comfortable wearing, some good apps and a very cool look.

CAUTION!! Do your research before buying from Fitbit. There are thousands of ex-loyal customers that have been ripped off by Fitbit. Their last update caused some of the models to literally stop functioning properly and they aren't taking responsibility for it. There is no tech support on these issues and no fix. They will only offer you a discount to buy another low quality watch from them. The BBB (Better Business Bureau) has almost a thousand complaints against the company. You can also read their Twitter replies and Facebook replies by angry customers. It will only be a matter of time YOUR watch will stop functioning properly! If you're still within warranty or refund policy I would strongly suggest getting a refund.

I love my Versa 2. I've had it about 3 months. Still learning it. The only issue I'm having is that it suddenly stopped syncing in the app on my phone, so it was not giving me notifications or capturing exercise minutes which is what I mostly bought the watch for. Keeps dropping the wifi. I now have to sync using my laptop. That works perfectly though. It's just a nuisance.

This is the 3rd Vivofit 3 I've had that's either fried the battery or had software issues. Not great for a watch that's almost $500AU. Looking forward to giving it a whirl but would have preferred Google Assistant an not Alexa. Having never used Alexa and really into the Google ecosystem with a few Home products throughout my place it's going to be an interesting experience.

@Alanicus1 4 жыл бұрын

Good review. I'm less keen on the watch than you, my main gripe being the terrible step tracking which gives excessive readings, including when cycling. That's common to all Fitbits though. Connected GPS is a bit hit and miss too. Lack of proper GPS is a major flaw. Floor counting and sleep tracking on the other hand are really good. However, it's very annoying that some sleep metrics are withheld unless you buy their premium subscription. Notifications are good - very reminiscent of the Pebble. I don't agree about Alexa. I find it slow and cumbersome and way less useful than Google. The watch faces are pretty naff generally and, as you say, they could learn more from the Pebble approach. Overall it's OK but could be so much better. I've reverted to Garmin during the day and only use the Fitbit for sleep tracking, for which the Garmin is indeed useless.

@Tirelirelou 4 жыл бұрын

Mark Armitage I do agree with you about the very poor steps tracking ability of the Versa and Vesa 2. It counts hand shaking as steps and if you walk and put your hands in your pocket, it will not register any step. As for GPS, satellite connection is very slow and often drops signal in clear sky view. For sleep tracking, it never registered more than three hours of sleep out of 8 to to 9 hours in bed... I know I was sleeping more than indicated by the Versa because my CIPAP and Lookee OX devices were reporting many instances of sleep apnea during the periods the Versa reported I was not asleep. I have experienced this with both the original Versa and Versa 2 models. More so, I noticed the same poor performance with 3 different Versa 1 and 2 Versa 2. I have tried Garmin Vivoactive 4 which was much better but very expensive and finally switched to a Samsung Active 2 bluetooth which gives me total satisfaction and many more useful smarwatch features

@JSyntax 4 жыл бұрын

Very good point I forgot to mention is the lack connected gps. Step counters are not super accurate, as a consumer, it's more of a proxy like most stats. Maybe I should have put a disclaimer in regards to my attention to accurate metrics versus good enough for the average person

Hey. Great video, high quality. Thanks for addressing the weight lifting. Shame it doesn't fo various reps. My Galaxy Active 2 does rep counting and break counting etc bang on. I still think the Versa line is more accurate at times than the active 2 but I prefer how much more of a smart watch the galaxy line is. Fitbit pay is useless in the UK and I would like to take calls on my wrist. If wear os watches could last more than 2 days I would go back to wear os. But I will miss having a 24/7 always on HR monitor. Sigh no perfect watch yet (for me anyway).

@JSyntax 4 жыл бұрын

Hmm, doesn't the galaxy watch/active only do a predefined workout? Meaning, you can't just do any type of exercise, you instead need to select chest press for example, prior to doing said exercise. Please let me know! If they did rep tracking like WearOS or Garmin, I'd buy the active!

@majorskies7091 4 жыл бұрын

@@JSyntax yes. So for example For arm curls. I need to select arm curls. I can tell it my targeted reps for each set. This is the same with bench press or front raises or later pull down. *note about variation on excerise* Even tho the arm curls require me to initially start the excersize (to trigger the rep counting) horizontal, I can do it holding them vertical too. However for bench press (where the animation shows a proper bench press bench and weight) I can make the watch count it with seprate dumbbells lying down but only in a up down motion. Not bringing my arms out and in otherwise it will count false reps. Just take a look at what weight excerise it can track and make sure you like the way the watch would like you to do them. But, the aformenimed comment I made was to say you can change the way you do them and the watch nay or may not track them correctly.

In my opinion, the Versa 2 is Fitbit's weakest offering and needs serious work - I was very disappointed!

I purchased the V2 in September 2019 and it died yesterday (8/4/2020). I'm here on KZfaq trying to find a hack to get it to work and I've found nothing. I'm so disappointed and frustrated because I really loved my V2. Now I need to decide to repurchase or look into a different device. 😒

You see, my experience with Bixby seems to be a LOT better than everyone elses. I have a Samsung gamaxy Watch and a Samsung phone and both respond to be when I say "Hi Bixvy" a lot better than when I say "Ok Google". Maybe I have the perfect pitch to my voice or something since everyone else seems to agree with you a lot more. But Alexa on the Versa is ALMOST a reason for me to switch. I agree Alexa is a lot more useful than Bixby (And IMHO even google). But I do have an app on my Galaxy watch for Alexa as well so... not quite. But very very close. My main question - did Fitbit fix their syncing problems? I had an ionic when it first came out and had to deal with that ballet of "Try to sync 3 times, restart phone and watch then it worked" thing and that got annoying. Honestly, I love fitbit since their fitness software on the phone is just excellent and better than anyone else. I don't mind Samsung health but it's not nearly as nice as fitbit. Nothing is as nice as fitbits software.

Do notifications actually work? I have the original Versa and they stopped working after a while and I spent too much time trying to fix it.

I have to shout at the microphone now after a few months of owning it. I'm not the only one who has this issue either & support doesn't help me either.

Great video. I can get 12months premium with the Inspire Fitbit, can I link this to that account. It a cheaper way to get premium. I could then gift or sell the other Fitbit.

Actually apple watch looks like pebble time from the company that was acquired by fitbit. So copying is the other direction.

I like these, but every time I get in the water or get it wet just a little the sync and notifications stop working. And thats the most frustrating part about this watch. Everything else is ok.

@Stay_ClassyYT 4 жыл бұрын

So using the watch on water will be a bad idea to use it? Was thinking of getting this one, but if that sounds to be true then I may get charge 4 special edition

I learned not to use in the pool or bath. However if still under warranty, they will replace as they do say it's ok. Also if you like to change bands like I do, you need to be sure you have a waterproof band as well.

Don’t waste your money the walking tracker actually tracks your hand movements I was writing and it popped up saying well done you reach 250 steps in the hour I thought that’s not right so opened the app up and surely enough the walking tracker had been counting my hand movements when I was writing so is it all just a lie or my Fitbit must be broken but it’s only 3 days old
