Fitbit Versa Health & Fitness Smartwatch with Heart Rate, Music & Swim Tracking, Black

I purchased an Apple Watch because I've got an iPhone (I'll probably change soon but right now, I have an iPhone). I figured it made the most sense. I'm not reviewing the Apple Watch here but here are the facts: the Apple Watch doesn't have an online dashboard to view/analyse your results/runs/heart/sleep - Fitbit does. In fact, the Apple Watch doesn't even have a built in sleep monitoring function (yes, 3rd party apps exist, but that's besides the point), you have to charge the Apple Watch around once every day, or second day if lucky. The Fitbit versa? 3-4 days between a charge, and it has built in sleep tracking. It's extraordinarily hard to dislike the Fitbit versa. It doesn't set out to be a smartwatch, although it does have smartwatch features e.g it'll vibrate/notify you of an incoming SMS/iMessage. But if you're like me, and go walking, running, do martial arts, or swim, then you'll seriously want to consider the Fitbit. The heart rate monitoring is continuous, unlike the Apple Watch which only monitors once every 10 minutes. This means you'll get much more accurate, actionable data. Connected GPS works like a dream - and saves battery power. How does it work? You simply swipe over to 'exercise' and tap it, then select the activity you want to do e.g run, and then hit the gear icon in the top left of the watch. A small menu pops up and if you scroll down, it allows you to use 'connected GPS'. Simply clicking the left button on the Fitbit Versa takes you back, then you start your walk/run. It's much easier than I make it sound. Why people complain about connected GPS I'll never know. It saves a tonne of battery power. When I used GPS on alternative watches (Microsoft Band, Apple Watch etc), it would drain the battery. The Versa holds up well in that department. I usually go on 3x 20-30 minute dog walks per day and I lose maybe 5% - then when I get home, simply sync the Fitbit app and you can instantly see a map of your walk on your phone. If you want to, you can log into Fitbit's online dashboard and see the map of your walk there. Additional information includes heart rate during walk along with further information such as pace, calories, elevation and impact on your day in terms of how many steps you took on your walk vs how many steps you intended to do that day. A bit more on battery life: I charged my fitbit on 29th May at 2pm to 100%. It's currently on 52% battery (31st May) after: 101 minutes of exercise on 29th, including 7 GPS walks, each around 20-30 mins each, and 6 workouts.... and 2 nights sleep tracking, 2x alarms and notifications when I get texts.....insane battery life! The product feels pretty good quality and so far, I've enjoyed every second of it. The home screen 'face' that comes as standard allows you to tap and it'll show you heart rate BPM, steps and calories, or you can go onto the Fitbit app and choose from hundreds of watch faces. In short: this is a watch for fitness people. This isn't a smartwatch per se, it's not a gimmick. Overall, it has great battery life, great fitness features, great online dashboard, water resistant to 50m and a fantastic app to go along with it. Easily worth the money and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

It all started when I was given a fitbit charge 2 from my work in April '17. At the time I had a Fenix 3 which I loved, but really admittedly I was not probably their typical target audience outdoorsy type triathlete who hikes a hundred miles every weekend and cycles 20 miles to work. No. I didnt do much at all. But I did love that it was a good looking smart watch. Before that I had an Apple watch, which didnt last long because charging another device EVERY day is just torture. So I gladly received the Fitbit and thought what the heck I will give it a try. For a couple weeks I wore it alongside my Garmin. The Fitbit sleep tracking and app were immediately a long way ahead of anything else I had tried. The App is very slick and really easy to use. Garmin's on the other hand must have been designed and built by a developer - not a user. By turning off notifications and auto wake to the display, you can get just over a week out of it too. (Ok the Garmin won there with about 2 weeks) Here's the clincher though. The interactive and social element of the Fitbit app had my colleagues around the world participating in step challenges, and who knew, I am quite competitive so things got quite heated and we all found ourselves doing things like going for long walks just before midnight to get an edge on colleagues. Soon I had friends joining too, and not long after that I joined the gym and started running on a treadmill 2 to 3 times a week. That was just over a year ago and I have stuck at it. Having now lost quite a bit of weight and I have honestly never felt better. The weekly step challenges havent stopped and nor has the satisfaction of occasionally winning them. So for me, this was the next step. Buying one which does a bit more, and arguably looks a bit better. I still think they could look better (the Garmin was a very handsome watch - but a bit too heavy and on the big side), and maybe one day they'll release something a bit more masculine. I am very very happy with this Versa. It does more than I expected (or need) and I really love that it has the customisable faces and includes all the things I found useful and loved about my Charge 2. I went for the special edition as I like the idea of a cloth strap. Sleeping with the Charge 2's rather grippy rubber strap wasn't the best and this watch is very comfortable to wear sleeping. I have read some reviews that claim it is light and feels cheap because it's very light - I disagree and would count the light weight as a pro because it is essentially a device some owners never take off, so like a well made pair of sunglasses - you almost dont want to know you are wearing it! And it does do just that. I've only had it a short time and I was a bit concerned about the 4 day battery life, but I have squeezed a week out of mine by immediately turning off notifications and auto wake for the display, plus I tend not to muck around with all the many other features I am sure most people will use and love- for me those are gimmicks and notifications were novel on my first Apple watch - but then just a distraction and can be invasive. One gimmick I do like (more as a novelty) is being able to control my Phillips Hue lighting from the watch, my inner 10 year old boy loves that kind of thing. Hope this helps you make the decision to buy one, I personally cant recommend Fitbit enough. I almost owe them my health in a way.

J'utilise les trackers Fitbit depuis 2011, la montre Versa est mon troisième après un des tout premiers trackers lancés par la marque, puis après avoir le One ces 5 dernières années. Le Versa est vraiment sympa, la montre a un design très esthétique est assez unisexe contrairement à la Surge et à l'Iconic qui sont beaucoup plus masculines et avec un look très sport. Elle est relativement fine et pour le moment, elle va facilement avec mes vêtements de tous les jours, mais je compte m'acheter un bracelet cuir très prochainement pour un look un peu plus élégant et discret avec des tenues plus habillées. Concernant ses fonctions, on peut tout suivre : rythme cardiaque, pas marchés, distance parcourue, activités physiques, calories dépensées, étages montés, sommeil... Et l'appli sur smartphone est très agréable à utiliser pour centraliser toutes les infos déjà visibles sur la montre. Bonne autonomie avec environ 4/5 jours de batterie et le bracelet en silicone fourni de base est très doux sur la peau, ma crainte était qu'il fasse beaucoup transpirer ou qu'il tire sur la peau, mais non, très agréable. J'envisageais une Apple Watch, mais la partie dédiée à la santé est beaucoup moins développée que sur les produits Fitbit et on a accès à moins d'infos, mais il faut dire que ça n'est pas le coeur de métier d'Apple, contrairement à Fitbit. Et ce qui me manquerait le plus sur l'Apple Watch, c'est le côté social et compétitif que l'on trouve sur Fitbit avec le classement de ses performances par rapport à ses amis et les challenges qu'on peut se lancer. Personnellement, ça m'aide beaucoup à me motiver à bouger et à me surpasser pour monter dans le classement. Bref, je porte la montre depuis 2 semaines maintenant, et je ne peux plus m'en passer. Et gros avantage par rapport au One que j'avais avant et qui se clippait sur ma poche de pantalon, difficile de l'oublier quand on se change dans la journée alors qu'on l'a au poignet !

Non ho avuto problemi ne con l'istallazione dell'aggiornamento ne con le connessioni sia Wifi che BT. Seguendo con pazienza la configurazione iniziale (30 minuti circa), devo dire che non ho ad oggi riscontrato problemi. Lo sto utilizzando ogni giorno dal suo arrivo, abituato ad altri dispositivi Gear S3 e Gear fit 2, non è stato facile passare al versa, ma avevo bisogno di un prodotto specifico e dedicato allo sport. Non ho considerato l'estetica, anche se è carino come forma e ha dei quadranti simpatici, ma al polso è leggerissimo ed è versatile, la batteria dura (in base al mio utilizzo), 4 giorni pieni e mi alleno 6 giorni su 7. I controlli sonno e cardio sono affidabili e veritieri, e la cosa che più mi è piaciuta è la personalizzazione dell'allenamento con le varie pause tra serie e recuperi. Inoltre abbinato alle varie applicazioni per il controllo peso e calorie alimentari diventa indispensabile per monitorare i vari progressi fatti. Certamente le notifiche che arrivano dalle vari applicazioni usate sugli smartphone non sono interagibili, ma durante l'attività fisica almeno per quello che mi riguarda, a me basta sapere se ho emergenze o chiamate urgenti, al resto ci penso dopo. Io mi ritengo molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto e lo consiglierei a chi vuole un oggetto dedicato allo sport, se mirate a watch face più stilose e oggetti con funzioni diverse dall'estetica accattivante non acquistatelo, non è quel genere di orologio. Tra uno Smart watch e uno Sport watch c'è una grande differenza. AMAZON impeccabile per i tempi e la tracciabilità della spedizione, i corrieri che sta utilizzando ultimamente un pò meno............

Make sure the watch is tight on your wrist ot the watch won't read properly

Después de estar quemado con un Android wear por tener que cargar a diario he terminado comprando este reloj, ya va camino de tres meses de uso y estoy bastante contento con el aunque no es tan smartwatch como los que tienen wear. Pantalla, espectacular en todos los sentidos, da igual en oscuridad o que la pongas a pleno sol, se ve siempre perfecta y al contrario que otros relojes si miras la hora a las dos de la madrugada en plena oscuridad el sensor de luminosidad responde muy bien y la pantalla está al mínimo de modo que sin riesgo de dejarte ciego. El táctil de la pantalla responde también bien y con rapidez. Batería, generalmente cuatro días, alguna vez ha llegado a cinco pero no tengo nada desactivado, lector sensor cardíaco continuo (lo puedes desactivar aunque no lo he hecho) y activo el sistema para que se active la pantalla al girar la muñeca. Seguramente si desactivas el sensor cardíaco continuo y apagas el sistema automático de encendido para el giro de muñeca se mejoran estas cifras. Agua sin problemas, ducharse con el e incluso nadar y bucear no representan un problema. Esta probado y bien probado y aquí sigue. Correas de 22mm normales son compatibles sin problema alguno pero ojo, lleva pasadores de 23mm. Las que trae de fábrica vienen con el sistema de cambio rápido, si compras correas con el mismo sistema te llevará unos segundos hacer el cambio aunque las originales salen bastante caras pero con comprarlas de 22mm cero problemas ya que lleva de las normales. Aplicaciones, viniendo parte del desarrollo de extrabajadores de Pebble esperaba más en ese sentido, pocas aplicaciones y no son una maravilla de modo que en ese sentido el reloj deja mucho que desear aunque la verdad si lo que buscas es ver las notificaciones más que nada en eso cumple al 100% y lo hace perfectamente, de ahí mi comentario que no es tan smartwatch. El tema de faces hay mucha variedad pero las cosas como son, las bonitas y mejores son de pago. Las notificaciones se ven muy bien en pantalla pero ojo, empiezo con los problemas de presbicia y a última hora de la tarde cuesta un poco leerlas, se habría agradecido que tuviera para elegir dos tamaños de letras diferentes para que el usuario pueda elegir cual le interesa más. Naturalmente la alta resolución que tiene la pantalla ayuda a ver bien las notificaciones porque de tener algo menos de resolución hubiera sido un problema. Respuesta a las notificaciones, como no tiene micrófono aunque puedes contestar del reloj solo puedes hacerlo con una serie de respuestas predefinidas y te da a elegir entre cinco diferentes, esas respuestas desde el reloj puedes cambiarlas por si te interesa tener respuestas diferentes para dar respuesta. Si te interesa un reloj todoterreno y el micrófono no es algo que te importe esta pequeña maravilla cumple de sobra, si buscas un reloj que pueda hacer de todo olvídate de este ya que es muy pobre en aplicaciones de forma que de smartwatch tiene poco. Más bien mirarlo como una extensión del teléfono para poder ver notificaciones sin tener que sacarlo cada dos por tres y con la opción de contestar con alguna de las cinco respuestas que hayas elegido. Naturalmente aunque no es tan smartwatch como los Android wear las cosas como son, en tema deportivo el teléfono es espectacular y tiene una app muy completa para ese tema, de los mejores que he probado hasta la fecha con el conteo de pasos, la precisión del sensor cardíaco similar a otros relojes para cualquier aficionado pero cualquier profesional que quiera precisión donde esté una banda para el pecho los de muñeca quedan atrás. Os dejo una foto con notificaciones para que podáis ver cómo se ven, la correa no es la original.

The Fitbit Versa is what I expected it to be based on all the reviews I've seen. It's simple and easy to use with a classic smartwatch look. Got my order the same day and before the time I expected the delivery which I'm very HAPPY with. Fast transaction and received in a great condition.
