you know while I was working on my Fitbit Versa review I realized huh Fitbit has a lot of wearables to choose from so instead of just comparing the Fitbit vs o to the Fitbit ionic I thought it would also break down Fitbit to wearable lineup and hopefully help you choose the right fit for you Fitbit schwarber lineup currently consists of the Flex to Alta Alta a chore charts to Versa and ionic this lineup starts off at 5995 and goes all the way up to $2.99 95 and Fitbit also has premium leather and metal wristband options to choose from for most of these trackers which are sold separately of course so there should be a Fitbit for almost everyone's budget if you want to pick either of these fitbit's up I'll have links in the description below and if you use the link it really helps out to channel check them out cos fitbit's routinely go on sale so you might get lucky okay let's start off with the Fitbit flex 2 what actually does all the tracking is this little piece here which you slip into its silicon wristband it's sleek lightweight and you have multiple ways to wear it it's waterproof so you can track your swimming it's going to automatically start tracking your workouts it can track your sleep and is going to track your steps but since there is no built-in heart rate monitor the calories burns a report is going to be a very rough estimate there are also some LEDs on the front which mostly tell you how close you are to hitting your daily step goal but they also flash in vibrate when you get a phone call or text message next up is the altar HR and first things first is this guy is not waterproof it's sweat and splash proof but you can't swim with it but for the most part the altar HR is a souped-up flex 2 with an O LED screen on the front that's fairly easy to see in direct sunlight it can easily show you your daily baseline stats and incoming phone notifications directly from your wrist and as the name implies the Alta HR has a built-in heart rate monitor so you're going to be able to track your heart rate throughout your day and during your workouts and the amount of calories burned the Alta HR reports should be a little more accurate than the Flex 2 and aside swimming the Alta H aura can track everything the Flex 2 does okay now let's move on to the charge 2 which is very to the altar HR just like the altar the charge to has are screwing on the front heart rate monitor on the back and you can't swim with it even though the charge to cost the same as the altar HR there are some key differences to keep in mind first the charge too has a built-in altimeter which can be used to track your elevation change during your runs and it can also track how many floors you've climbed during the day the charge 2 also supports connected GPS or if you bring your phone along you'll be able to map out your runs and get more accurate stats regarding your speed and pace and with the charge - you can manually initiate workout tracking so you can get or real-time readout from your wrist during your workout and you're tracking should be a little more accurate as well and both the charts - and all thr are using haptic touchscreens so instead of swiping through the menus like you normally would on your phone you tap or flick these trackers it's useful if you're cycling through the menus if the screen is wet or sweaty but it can be very hit or miss sometimes next up is Fitbit scoring crown jewel the Fitbit Versa and like I mentioned in the full review I really like it the Versa does everything - charge - does and then some most noticeably it has a touchscreen LCD display it's super low profile in s SmartWatch capabilities it doesn't look like a fitness tracker and you can strongly fit as a fitness tracker the first attracts everything - charge - does and it also relies on connected GPS to map out your runs obviously thanks to the touchscreen display it's much easier to navigate through the menus track your workouts and see your baseline stats for the day as a SmartWatch you can download apps you get full notifications for incoming calls texts and emails and if you get the special edition Versa there's an NFC chip for contactless payments think of the Versa as a better-looking and more useful charge - for when you're outside of the gym and finally there is the bigger and more expensive Fitbit ionic just know it's six months older than the Versa and again the Fitbit onic does everything the Versa does but the premium price tag does bring a few key improvements first up it's more premium the silicone band is better and has a cool textured design it's easier to swap out the wristbands and I really like the normally found on the side buttons onto the hood every Ayana comes included with an NFC chip in the ioniq has its own built-in GPS so with the ioniq you can leave your phone behind and still not your runs thanks to the built-in GPS which remember the versa can't do because it still relies on your phone's GPS now both the Versa and ionic are using bluetooth 4.0 so you can pair your wireless earphones to them and stream any music you might have stored locally on the device and both watches are able to store around 300 songs give or take but what are the drawbacks of fitbit's in general is that you can't connect an external heart rate monitor to them the wrist-mounted heart rate monitors on these watches is good but don't expect it to be as accurate as a chest mounted one when it comes to touchscreen responsiveness and overall performance of these smartwatches I can't help but notice the versa is a little snappier than the ioniq which isn't surprising cuz the ioniq is six months older and when it comes to design I prefer the Versa over the ioniq mainly because of the screen to bezel ratio there's more screen real estate on the Versa Sedan on the ionic the screen on the ionic has richer colors and is a little whiter but the versus Apple like minimalist design just looks overall better I feel the Versa and ionic do just enough to skate by as a SmartWatch they show you quickly notifications and you can download certain apps but I still look at these fitbit's as fitness trackers first and smartwatches second since you can't directly reply to your notifications aside from pre-made responses if you're using an Android or talk to your voice assistant from these watches I don't think they should be directly compared to the Apple watch or Android smartwatches but no matter which Fitbit you choose to go with the all work with Fitbit mobile app and Fitbit mobile app is the best fitness tracking app out there for your casual gym goer but in order to get the most out of the Fitbit app you do need to get the charge to Versa or ironic since the Flex two doesn't have a heart rate monitor and since the Alta HR it doesn't have an altimeter you're going to be missing out on pretty important stats but through fitbit's app you'll be able to get a better breakdown of your daily activity and hopefully be able to better program your exercise or I plan for better results and through fitbit's goal-setting and challenges hopefully you'll actually stay consistent which is what really matters most if you're trying to get results at the gym and for the ladies Fitbit app can also help you track your cycle but that feature is only available if you have a versa or an ionic but now let's talk about battery life and it's a little funny cuz each of these trackers have their own proprietary cables depending on how much you work out and what features you actually use all these battery lives will vary both the Flex 2 and all thr will last about 5 days with all day and night wear the Fitbit Versa advertises a battery life of 4 plus days and both to charge 2 and ionic advertise the battery life for 5 days but with all day and night wear and with a Monday to Saturday workout routine of one hour of interval training and 30 minutes of cycling the Versa managed to last 2 days and 16 hours the ionic lasted 3 days and 6 hours and the charge 2 lasted 3 days and 12 hours and keep in mind this was without using the connected GPS on both diversa and charge 2 without using the built-in GPS on the ionic and without streaming music off of the Versa or ionic so depending on which features you actually use on either of these trackers your battery life will definitely vary but if you just drop them into their charger for 10 or 20 minutes every night they should have no problem keeping up with you and they should have died on you by mid-afternoon like other smartwatches out there if you're trying to choose between either of these fitbit's I feel that for the best experience you should either go with the charge 2 or the Versa because you'll be able to get the most out of the Fitbit mobile app since the flex 2 doesn't have a heart rate monitor and since the Alta EHR doesn't have an altimeter you're going to be missing out on some crucial data the flippin ionic is geared towards more serious runners with its built-in GPS but since you can't connect a chest strap heart rate monitor and since it doesn't really fully function as a SmartWatch I feel it's kind of hard to justify that $300 price tag if you want a small Watts get the Apple watch and if you're a serious runner you probably better off getting something from Garmin but I feel the Versa for the price does exactly what it needs to do it helps you quantify your daily act you can maximize your results at the gym but into notifications non fitness tracker looking design and apps helpful a life outside of the gym I just wish there was a larger case size to choose from if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you
