the Fitbit ionic wasn't the mega-hit Fitbit hope it would be well personally I think Fitbit is onto something with their new pebble like Fitbit Versa it has a new minimalist design that's very reminiscent to the Apple watch but at a much more reasonable price it's still a fitness tracker first and a small one seconds but here's what I like what I don't like and what I would change a new Fitbit versa depending on which Fitbit versed you get they'll either cost to you 199 95 or 2 29.95 the 200 all the models come with either black rose gold or silver aluminum casings and they all come with their classic silicone wristbands the $230 models like the one I have here comes with either graphite or rose gold aluminum casings and in addition to your classic silicone wristbands they also bring a fabric wristband if you want to pick the Fitbit Versa up I'll have a link of description below and if you use the link it really helps out the channel I suggest you check them out coz Fitbit trackers routinely go on sale so you might get lucky aside from the extra fabric wristband the special edition Fitbit Versa comes bundled with the special of this inversor also has an NFC chip for contactless payments personally I don't really care for the NFC chip in the Versa because I just prefer to use my phone for tap to pay so I suggest you just pick up the special edition versa because you want more than one wristband to choose from and personally I think fibbies sort of just included and if see on both versa models now actually removing the wrist bands from the Versa isn't as easy as the Apple watch but after you get the hang of it it should be painless and Fitbit also gives you the option to choose from leather or stainless steel bands as well which are sold separately of course aside from the extra fabric wristband and the built-in NFC chip on the special edition Fitbit Versa both Versa models are identical the verse or itself is surprisingly thin and light weight is to watch you actually forget you're wearing after a while especially with that fabric wrist band there are three lines on the sides of the watch which are all very easy to find and they all have great tactile feedback the Versa also comes equipped with a touchscreen LCD display protected by quarter and Gorilla Glass 3 and even in direct sunlight in the clear sunny day I have no issues actually seeing the display the touch screen controls and responsiveness of the verse when navigating through the menus and opening apps is good but there might be some hiccups here and there either the watch might need a second to catch up or your swipe might not just register the versa is also water-resistant down to 50 meters so this means you can wear it in the pool in the rain and you don't have to worry about it if you sweat on it while you're working out if you're someone who regularly works out and you want to maximize your results then a fitness tracker like the Versa can help you quantify your daily activities so you can better program your training and/or your diet with the Versa you can monitor your heart rate 24/7 track your steps track your distance walked flights of stairs climb track how many calories you've burned track your sleep and you can even get a better breakdown of your performance during your workouts the heart rate monitor on the fitbit Versa is fairly accurate but don't expect this to be as precise as a dedicated test strap heart rate monitor the Versa is using Bluetooth 4.0 and you can pair your wireless headphones to it so you can play your store the music off of it but you can't connect a chest strap heart rate monitor for the runners who might be interested in the Versa just know it comes equipped with a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope and an altimeter unfortunately there is no built-in GPS instead the Versa uses connected GPS which means the Versa relies on the GPS from your phone this means the fitbit Versa will only be able to map out your runs if you bring your phone along if you decide to leave your phone behind the Versa will still be able to track your performance during your run but your speed and distance ran won't be as accurate if you brought your phone along not having GPS in the Versa is one of those sacrifices you make for is very low profile design as a SmartWatch the Fitbit Versa plays nice with both Apple and Android devices you can see your notifications like text messages emails and incoming calls but you can only do quick replies with Android devices you can also control your music playback but I find myself either using the control buttons on the headphones themselves or just using the actual phone is much easier than trying to meddle around with the tiny touch screen as a SmartWatch the Versa does enough to show you quick notifications at a glance so you can decide to whip out your phone or not if something important comes through but you can't take phone calls like you can on the Apple watch and you can't talk to your voice assistant through the virus like you can on either the Apple watch or Android smart watches but if you're looking into Fitbit you're probably more interested in the fitness tracking aspect anyways and Fitbit still has the best fitness tracking mobile app out there and what I like most about the Fitbit app is that at a glance it is very simple and easy to read the home page does a very good job of giving you a quick rundown of your baseline stats for the day but as you dig deeper into each category you can get a more detailed breakdown of your day or of your workout and having a record of your daily activity and workouts lets you see just how much you've managed to progress if you actually stick to working out and for the ladies out there the Versa can also help you track your cycle and give you an idea of what to expect the Fitbit mobile app also lets you track your sleep cycles so you can see when you're in light deep or REM sleep but unfortunately this is one of those features that I don't really care for but now we need to talk about badly from the Fitbit Versa fitbit advertises about a life of four plus days but unfortunately in our testing we haven't been able to hit that when at a full charge and with a Monday through Saturday workout routine of one hour of interval training and 30 minutes of cycling and all day and night wear the Versa only managed to average two days and 16 hours of on time without ever being placed back on the charger and keep in mind this is without streaming music off of the Versa and without using connected GPS so you're badly fooled definitely vary depending on your workout frequency and what features you actually use but we found that a futures drop the Versa in turns charging cradle every time you shower for 15 or 20 minutes then the Versa will have no problem keeping up with you unlike some other smartwatches that you have to drop in the charger every night and you still risk dying on you mid-afternoon but overall I really do like the Fitbit Versa and I do think the Versa is going to sell better than the pharaonic but I would have liked to see a bigger battery in the Versa since the verse is so thin I think Fitbit could get away with adding a millimeter or so without many people carrying as long as it means a longer real-world battery life I also think Fitbit so double down on the Versa and have 2k sizes for it I'm a guy with not so big risk but the vs. still looks a little small on me I think a larger Versa would be great for guys who aren't really interested in the ionics design or built-in GPS I do think there is a lot of potential for the fit versa and I feel the Versa is a solid fitness tracker for your casual gym goer it's going to help you track your progress help you understand your daily activity and hopefully help you stay consistent the new design doesn't scream fitness tracker and you also get some of the benefits of having a SmartWatch on your wrist but the Versa isn't the fitness tracker for your serious athlete trying to shave a few seconds off of their mile and it's not the SmartWatch for a hardcore power user if you made it this
